Control Panel And Cooking Functions
As you might have already guessed by its name, it features 12 cooking functions, including the most popular ones— Air Fry, Bake, Toast, Roast, and Broil.
In addition, the air fryer features slow cook, fermenting, reheating, and dehydrating pre-set functions.
Compared to the knob-style controls of TOA-70 air fryer, the Cosori 12-in-1 comes to prominence due to its responsive digital touch control panel.
Even with its additional functions, it costs much less than TOA-70, making it versatile and economical.
Specifications: Design, Size, And Weight
It mimics an oven but is essentially a countertop kitchen appliance, much smaller than a convection oven.
The weight of the air fryer at 22 pounds makes it somewhat bulky but less weighty than Cuisinart TAO-70, which weighs around 23.1 pounds.
Its stainless steel exterior makes it much more durable than a plastic body air fryer.
So, compared to options like Dash DFAF455GBAQ01, this air fryer stands out because of its solid build.
Dimensions And Footprint
As for the dimensions and size of the air fryer…
It has 26 QT capacity and precisely measures 16.3″D x 16.9″ W x 15.5″H.
So, though it will not take as much space as a full-size oven, it is still space-taking compared to a basket-style air fryer.
But that’s probably because of its interior capacity.
Smart Features
This smart air fryer can be synchronized with Alexa, allowing you to control the cooking from afar.
In addition, you can control the air fryer through a smartphone app called VeSync that stores many recipes for you to try.
COSORI 12-in-1 Air Fryer Oven Accessories
The COSORI 26qt is a large air fryer comes in a big box.
It is mainly because of the variety of accessories it is accompanied with.
In addition to the electrical appliance, the box contains an oven rack, food tray, fry basket, crumb tray, and recipe book.
Cosori Air Fryer Convection Oven Ease Of Use
The smart appliance is easy to use.
All the instructions and buttons can be spotted at the front of the air fryer above the see-through door.
The touchscreen panel and the knob are responsive to the touch and action of your finger
The big and bright screen displays the remaining time and cooking temperature in big fonts so that readability won’t be an issue, even for older air fryer users.
The air fryer has three rack positions to cook various ingredients.
The door is labeled with the food options to cook at the appropriate rack positions.
This feature is convenient and is something you don’t find in air fryers like the Cuisinart TAO-70.
However, there is one thing. A small black piece beneath the heat vent at the back raises the heat.
So, keep the air fryer in a place with nothing above it to let the heat find its way straight out of the back.
Cooking Function Tests
The best thing about COSORI 12-in-1 is that it gives you full control of your cooking.
You can use the cooking presets or the manual functions depending on your recipe.
The learning curve of using this air fryer is minimal, making it suitable even for the least tech-savvy people.
Here is my take on the cooking functions of the Cosori air fryer.
Air Frying
What we loved about air frying in Cosori was its spaciousness, which helped us cook full-size meals in one batch.
Another thing is that this unit gives you reliable results if you properly follow the instructions.
Toasting
The air fryer can accommodate six slices in its toasting tray.
However, the toast setting is a little tricky.
We suggest, you must read the user manual before using this function.
Baking
Though the air fryer has a bake function, entering manual baking instructions when making muffins, cakes, and cookies gives you much better results.
Ferment
The ferment feature is interesting and handy, you won't find this option in many top-selling air fryers.
It is delightful to see the bread dough rising over the edge of the loaf pan using the ferment feature.
Thanks to this feature, you can speed up your baking process significantly.
Wrapping Up!
Cosori 12-in-1 is not an air fryer to miss. It packs smart features, an intuitive control panel, and accurate cooking functions to ensure user convenience.
The air fryer is made with food-grade stainless steel, making it well-built, durable, and a value for your money.
The racks and trays coming with it are high-quality and non-stick. Overall, this is an outstanding cooking appliance if you love to eat fried (not literally) food without buying it from outside and minus the additional calories.
