COSORI Dual Blaze 6.8-Quart Air Fryer/360 ThermoIQ/ Unboxing Setup & First Use/Review After 2 Months

COSORI Dual Blaze 6.8-Quart Air Fryer/360 ThermoIQ Technology / Unboxing Setup & First Use/Review After 2 Months of use. We wanted to try out a Cosori air fryer after previously having a Power XL 7 QT Vortex Air Fryer. In this video we unbox it, set it up and show how our first time using it went. We also give a review and tell you what we think of it, positives and negatives, after using it for a couple of months.

Hey, really nice review. Just a quick heads up - you shouldn't use the abrasive part of the sponge to clean the parts of the basket, since I think it takes off the non-stick coating. It was also mentioned somewhere in the manual as well. Great air fryer, can't wait for mine to arrive next week ^_^

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Yes! Great point about the nonstick surface and abrasive scrubbers! The thing I was using is a reusable/washable dish cloth that is marketed to be safe for non stick surfaces. They combined with the dawn work great but don't harm the surface. Enjoy your new fryer!!

[@debbie1483]

I've also heard the aerosol sprays like Pam can mess up the non stick coating. My first fryer was the Ninja and that coating got messed up fast! When I learned that and got my new Cosori, I switched to the non aerosols sprays and still looks as good as new.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Very true about the aerosol sprays!

[@lasongablackwell6535]

Mine is set for delivery tomorrow July 22 2024 I'm excited can't wait to get it

[@MadPick]

Great review! I have the Dual Blaze (it's my second air fryer also), and I absolutely LOVE IT! I almost never use the crisper tray; I find that things cook fine without it, so I just skip the hassle of food falling through and having to clean it. Also, note that Cosori recommends that when installing it, put it in at an angle -- drop one end in, then push the other end down.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Thanks for the tray installation tip!

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

I have had my cosori dual blaze for about two months now and I've got no complaints about it. It's a great machine, it's really handy having the two elements. It's so easy to use and clean, it's much better having the crisper tray instead of the basket which makes it so much easier to clean. I usually clean my with Mr Muscle kitchen cleaner and a bit cif and some soapy water, it comes up great. I normally soak mine after cooking so it comes clean more easily. I wouldn't try scrubbing it with hard fried good on it in case it scratched it .

[@marcdupontel5857]

Many thanks for this concrete and detailed presentation . This will save me time when I receive my Dual Blaze and pick it up. Best wishes. Greetings from the South of France.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Greetings! Glad it was helpful, I hope you enjoy your Dual Blaze!!

[@henrikbocarlsen]

25:41, tabs at the buttom burned/melted: My user manual tells me to avoid touching the plastics with the warm basket, while you leave it to rest on the two tabs several times after cooking! Please place the fryer on a heat safe surface (as also mentioned in the manual), and remove the basket completely from the fryer to extract the cooked food….and the tabs would likely be in a better shape….

[@ehex3]

Couldn't ask for a better review!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Thanks!

Hi, Great review. I actually ordered this one while watching the video. It will be here tomorrow. Thanks for helping spend my money.

[@shastitydenae4853]

I'm so excited to see this video. I just ordered this air fryer on cyber Monday, so it should be here tommorrow.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Enjoy it!!

[@1969TxCowboy1]

Woohoo!!!! It's on sale. Amazon Prime Day item. I'm ordering one plus your silicone liners. I'm a single guy and this will be my first air fryer. Can't wait. Thanks for the review.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Enjoy!

[@robino941]

Congrats on your new air fryer! The dual heating aspect seems cool. I love air fried vegetables. =)

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Thanks Robin! I love the dual heating on this!

[@debbie1483]

Great review! I love my Cosori 5 qt Compact, since it's only for me, but love the dual blaze concept. I've only had mine since March, so I'll be shaking for a while...lol This is my 2nd Cosori, diff model, dropped my basket (my fault) and their customer service was great! I ended up giving that one to my son (after fixed) and got this one. Love your nails too, getting mine done today even...lol And your doggies, so cute!!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

The 5 qt is definitely big enough for one person I would think. The dual elements are pretty neat on this but my other one without it does a great job as well, for a lot less money and a little shaking! Lol Good to hear the customer service is great. Thanks so much, Debbie😊🐶💅

[@lindahumes9483]

Thank you Alicia!! Great Christmas gift ideas and appreciate the review and where to get. I'm really enjoying mine. Honestly, I hardly ever use my oven. Well, we made it through Thanksgiving , now onto Christmas! Enjoy yiour two new toys, Coffee Maker and Air Fryer!! Hi Rocky, love seeing your waggy tail. Looks like your happy about that new air fryer🤣Chance for goodies to fall on the floor! BTW, Another awsome nail look for you!!!

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Hi Linda! I don't use my oven as often anymore either after getting my first air fryer. Yes, we made it through Thanksgiving, now it is full on Christmas! It will be here before we know it🎄Thank you, I really loved those Halloween nails!💅Hope your Thanksgiving was a great one and you are enjoying the weekend!💛

[@Chris-wu2hc]

Very nice review, I appreciate how thorough you are about the settings and app setup. I think the only difference between broil and roast is that broil only uses the top element. Will be useful for sandwiches probably. I ordered the 5 qt Pro LE but cancelled it and ordered this one. Even for a single person I think the extra tray space will be beneficial for crisping. It's significantly more expensive but I think I made the right choice...we'll see.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Thank you! I think you are right about the broil. I can honestly say that after having two air fryers of roughly this size, I would never buy a smaller one, even if it was just for me. There aren't as many limitations with this size on what you can cook in it. And yes, the extra space just means extra air flow and a crispier result. Hope you enjoy yours as much as we do ours!

[@ernstmogensen]

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to buy one.👍🇩🇰

[@VaraVannerSimpleLiving]

We have a Cosori dehydrator and a pour over carafe, they make quality products. Hope you enjoy your new air fryer by them. :)

[@AliciaLynnYT]

I'm hoping it is good quality. We have had the worst luck with other appliances (Keurigs) lately! Lol

[@chrisdonovan2053]

Each selectable mode (broil, roast, bake, etc...) also changes the percentages used of the top and bottom heating elements. Air fry is the only selection that has the top and bottom elements on high.

[@michaelproctor8100]

This morning I cooked a strip steak that was about 3/4 inch thick in my dual blaze. Set the temp at 400 for 8 minutes. The outside was very well done but the internal temp only got up to 140 degrees. I new if I cooked it any longer the outside would be hard as a rock, so I ate it and didn't have any problems. To be honest, my old Nuwave Infrared Oven cooked steaks better. Next time I'll try cooking a steak at 400 for 7 minutes and then flip it over.

[@gloriousmediocrity985]

Your nails were so cute! Since I accidently destroyed my Instant Pot, I'm thinking of getting an air fryer instead of replacing it.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Thanks! I highly recommend an air fryer. It's the best kitchen gadget I've ever owned!

[@onlyme972]

Noticed the fluffy wagging the tail hoping for CHIPS.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Always🐶😄

[@sanslik5141]

I bought one of these a week ago and love it. My crisper tray falls in nicely with very little resistance, I’m wonder if they’ve fixed that issue or if I just got lucky

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Interesting..ours is still putting up a lot of resistance and I have to be really careful with it. I'm glad you aren't having that problem!

[@tc-home]

Great review. I am considering purchasing this. Have you had any issue with smoking like cooking bacon, sausages, or steak etc with high heat?

[@AliciaLynnYT]

No issues so far with smoking when cooking things like that at the highest heat! Thanks for watching and enjoy yours if you get one 😊

[@emagic55]

Ty for your review. I do have a question. Are you able to bake bread in this air fryer?

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Yes

[@hapaboy0808]

Do you find that the silicone pad impedes the ability to brown with the lower element?

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Great question! I haven't found that, no. When I do something like fries on the pad, they get nice and brown/crispy all the way around. The biggest thing I have found that affects the evenness of the cooking, crispness, etc. is just the air flow. You want to make sure to not overfill/overcrowd the basket with food, so the air flow isn't impeded.

[@lizzieturbeville4089]

Yes, doing a dry or test run is very important. Dad fixed sweet potatoes in theirs the first time and it tasted so bad, they put it away for about a year before they used it again! 🤣🤣. But they love it now. We love ours even if ours is a different brand. Interesting air fryer, it does look like a printer! Will it print fried chicken? 😛

[@AliciaLynnYT]

Love that story! Lol These air fryers definitely need to have the test run done first😂 It would be nice if it did print fried chicken😁

[@alcylon]

put the basket sideways in

[@bonnieeck670]

Thank you for this video I just got the same Cosori as you have today now I know how to use it but I won't down load the app one question if I want to make chicken do I have to use the chicken setting or can I just use the air fry setting? I'm kind of afraid of it or do something wrong I have subscribed to your channel Thanks again.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

You can use whatever settings you want, depending on what temp you want to cook things. After playing around with all the settings, I use the air fry setting for most things!

[@Tty85]

Hi, can you start the air fryer manual mode, not just from those recipes from the app (set preset like Air Fry, Bake, Fries, temperature and time )? Can you schedule a recipe that was set to favorites or choose manual and desired temperature and time or one of the presets from the Vsync app? I use this schedule feature all the time from Mi Home app with Xiaomi Mi Smart Air Fryer.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

You can do everything from the app, but it still requires a manual start (you have to push the start button) before it will start cooking) it won't start cooking remotely.

[@Tty85]

@@AliciaLynnYT Yes, i know it needs to manually press start on, I was asking just for scheduling from the app.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

I don't believe you can schedule on it, no.

[@Tty85]

@@AliciaLynnYT maybe they can add schedules from app with features updates.

[@sofyakutsak6860]

Hello! What about noise? Thank you.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

It is a little noisy but no more than other air fryers I have used.

[@sandysawyer1691]

broil and roast are both 400 10min the diferance is broil only uses the top element and roast uses both

[@AliciaLynnYT]

That makes sense, thanks!

[@jimwilliams7136]

You mention the tabs under the tray have melted. I've used mine more than you and have no melted tabs. If I were you I'd call their customer service.

[@terrypogue]

What is “the other one”

I'm not sure what you're referring to or asking, but we mentioned our other air fryer in the video. If you’re asking what that is, I linked it in the description box.
