[@The-Blind-Life]

Great review!! I love my Dual Blaze. I’ve had mine for a couple months now, and don’t miss the basket of my old one. Being blind, Alexa and app are so much easier than having to label buttons with braille dots. A hint for removing hot tray… silicone finger covers work great. 😊

[@DiAllinson]

That's fantastic that it helps make cooking accessible for you

[@bradenarnold]

I really like seeing the family in the background, just living their lives 7:35. Really gives these videos that extra home feeling, like I am sitting across from her watching this live. My best memories growing up on a farm was sitting across from my Gma making huge meals for us all. I always appreciated the art and effort it took to make her unbelievable country meals ... sorry, think I digressed.

[@empoweredcooks]

Thanks for sharing, Braden! I'm just trying to keep it real over here!

[@junecappola8791]

Cathy, finally a real review of the Dual Blaze. Good job!!! I ordered one a few days ago and can't wait to receive it. When I heard about this new Air Fryer my first thoughts were "great, now I can get rid of this basket with all the slats" (my Cosori 5.8). Much to my surprise, several comments on your site (after the video) were "the basket was a game changer", meaning they wanted the basket, and therefore would not order the Dual Blaze. After reading all the info on the Dual Blaze, I did not get the impression the "Crisper Plate" was a replacement for the basket, but that it is an accessory to be used for extra crispness (and maybe to hold up certain foods that need to drop juices or fat through the plate). Because both sides of the food are being cooked at the same time, it seems that most foods could be cooked in the one basket without the "Crisper". Therefore another basket is not needed. I did not read any of this from Cosori, and agree than many more details are needed about the Dual Blaze, the Crisper, and the App. Looking forward to more of your videos using the Dual Blaze.

[@pamelaparsons9046]

This is great. I was waiting for your review. I love Cosori and I recommend it all the time. I bought mine 2 years ago and I’m so glad I did. It took me till last month to convince my 84 year old father to get one. He kept saying, I’ll never use it it. Well, proved him wrong. He uses it all the time. He loves it. He made a pork chop and potatoes tonight for dinner. He called me up to rave about it. Keep up the good work.

[@empoweredcooks]

I love that you've got your dad using it! THat is so awesome!

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Thanks a lot! I bought my old Cosori around 3 years ago and loooove it sooo much. Today I chose to treat myself & upgrade to this model! So excited! In my old one, I have had a home made thick alu foil pan in the bottom, I took a stove splashback from aliexpress and cut it into the right size and pressed it into the bottom and shaped it perfectly. Has washed it many times, easy to clean. I might do the same for this new one, still have more alu left… Can’t wait until it arrives in a few days… 👏👏👏🤗

[@HedgeMaJig]

Pro tip: The parchment paper air fryer liners have been an absolute game changer for me! It keeps all the mess on the paper and I only wash the the basket after cooking something super messy or after two or three uses. Makes a huge difference when not having to hand wash and finish by throwing the basket into the dishawashwer every night. Makes me want to use the air fryer more!

[@hugopatatas]

But not for this one because we have top and bottom heating elements…

[@lindastevenson7573]

The absolute best feature is not having to stop in the middle of the cooking. I did a 4 pound chicken. Everything is so easy to clean. Customer Service is the best. Did more for me than what I asked for!

[@robertbobrowski6106]

We love our new Dual Blaze. It is much faster and so much quieter than our old air fryer. One feature you should have mentioned was the interface to Alexa (or Google). We just tell Alexa to set air fryer to 380* for 10 minutes and it starts right up. We use that feature all the time.

[@chriswilliams2129]

I use that feature as well! Every time!! Lol!

[@sarahstrong7174]

Isn't it dangerous to pour hot oil in to a cold glass jar? Won't it crack? Did you allow it to cool first? Or was it special glass? Just wondering.

[@isMiIes]

Do you use the Alexa command to preheat or you mean you do that instead of dealing with the touch screen?

[@ChangeBeUs]

Came straight to your video(Fabulously Frugal) a week ago to get YOUR opinion on the new Casori air fryer! Now I have it and love it! Quicker, and quieter. I find the new basket a lot quicker and easier to clean than my other calorie air fryer. I find its also more solid because its one solid piece. Thank you for taking your time to make such informative videos for us!

[@jimsmith9867]

I found your channel and went and bought the Dual Blaze. I am so glad that I did. Great review.

[@lkirk]

Thanks for the review. I was hoping for a basket like the older versions of Cosori and a larger cooking basket. I get that the basket handle system was a huge nightmare for some when it broke on the older models but I think I will be passing on this air fryer until I see a larger basket. Great video!

[@HK0123]

I got this air fryer like a week ago as my first AF. So far, very happy with it except for the tray about what you mentioned in the video and a lack of presets. I wish it had more presets and food dehydration. I wasn't aware I could change the presets. Thanks for the info! I love that I don't need to toss the basket half way through with this AF! I also noticed that food gets cooked and cruchier on the top side thanks to the fan, so if I cook long enough, I still do toss the basket to make it more even.

[@empoweredcooks]

Hi Lucy, thanks for sharing your experience. I didn't notice crunchier food on top vs bottom due to fan, but I can see why that could be. I'll pay attention to that moving forward. I never really use pre-sets, so that hasn't bothered me at all. Adjusting the common ones you use is awesome though!

[@bluegt04]

Very cool! I recently purchased the same air fryer on Amazon and I'm waiting for it to be shipped. I'm a first time user of the air fryer and can't wait to receive it and try it out on some of my favorite foods. I loved your review which was very informative and made guest like myself feel like a family member. Your children were great giving their take in the review as well.

[@Wendyrocler]

I have had this air fryer on my wish list ever since it came out. I had a Gourmia one that was given to me and I loved it but wanted the no turn over feature of this Dual Blaze. Well it went on sale during the latest Amazon deal days and I snapped it up with a reduction of $60.00 off the regular price. I absolutely love it. The only con is that it is much noisier than my old one. Thanks for recommending Cosori to me!

[@grandmabourke]

can you use the paper liners with the dual heating elements?

[@gloriasanchez5001]

Thank you for the review. I’ve been researching this air fryer. I bought the Gourmia at Costco, but had to take it back after the 4th time using it. The tray would not close on one side. So you had me when you said the tray closed easily. ☺️

Very interesting and informative as usual. That steak recipe looks delicious. My daughter finally opened the AF I got her a couple of years ago. Lol. I don't think she's as enamored with it as I hoped, but at least she's using it occasionally.

[@michellewilliams9675]

Thanks for doing this video finally! I’ve been debating if I need to get it… and was waiting for your opinion as you are the queen of air fryers!!! You are the reason I got my Cosori 2 years ago! I have seen people put a bit of tinfoil over the finger holes to stop smaller food from falling down, or a small sling to help lift it out. I love the ability to reprogram the presets, didn’t know that was an option! I think I may have to gift myself one very soon…

[@empoweredcooks]

Hi Michelle! Thanks for the tips about the finger holes. I'll have to try that out! I am glad you are still enjoying your Cosori though :)

[@TheDonnieAnderson]

I bought my Dual Blaze during Amazon Prime days. I previously had a Ninja (basket style) which I loved but was looking for a larger capacity AF. I love all of your videos and saw what a big fan you were of the Cosori brand so I bought the Dual Blaze. So far I love it, like my Ninja it’s super easy to clean, it’s very quiet and it cooks everything perfectly. My son has taken ownership of the Ninja and the Dual Blaze has quickly become my favorite appliance. Thanks for the awesome videos and recipes. You have the cutest family, I love watching their reactions to the different foods you prepare.

Good Morning Cathy! I absolutely love mine and it pairs wonderfully with your cookbook and all your recipes.

Hello.I am a englishman ex gas engineer. I bought the dual blaze but whe pulling the draw to check progress it started flashing on off rapid on the control panel.was going to keep it for fairy lights at christmas haha.Anyway sent it back and bought the same model because i can bake two small loaves in it. You are the only one on u tube that measures the basket size with a tape to get a true W.L.D of it Trying to get the size of models is near impossible without purchase.5,6,7Ltrs means nothing without the true measurements. Good on you a loyal fan !!!!!

[@jimmuha9963]

You didn’t mention the fact that when you choose Broil only the top burner comes on. I find that function really handy for example making a sub sandwich opening it up and heating up the insides but not getting the bun too crispy.

[@empoweredcooks]

That's a great point! Thanks for sharing, Jim!

[@jimmuha9963]

@@empoweredcooks I love my 6.8, I love Cosori customer service, but I am disappointed that the instructions with it are the bare minimum. I had to figure out the Broil function on my own they don’t mention it anywhere. I love your videos BTW.

[@empoweredcooks]

How did you figure that out? I was thinking that I didn't see that written anywhere in the instructions either.

[@griselc.7207]

This is good to know. Many reviewers in Amazon complain about the grease falling at the bottom and burning, thus causing smoke. They mentioned they wish there’d be an option to switch the bottom Burner off. The company should give more detailed instructions so people would know the functions better to prevent accidents, otherwise they’ll start getting complaints through BBB. Reading your comment I might now consider buying this AF, knowing I can use Broil to prevent the bottom fluids from burning up. 🔥

[@jimmuha9963]

@@griselc.7207 I think the reason it is smoking for people is I’ve seen people use too high of a temperature in general. I’ve never had a problem with things smoking in mine. I’ve cooked steaks, bacon, whole chickens, burgers to name a few greasy suspects. Never had a problem with smoking.

Excellent review!! I've been experimenting with my Dual Blaze since January to find the right settings since most recipes are for the old model that doesn't cook as hot. Thank you for finally providing simple instructions for frozen fries. I was overcooking them longer at 400. Can you please provide similar instructions for cooking Stouffer's frozen entrees in the Dual Blaze? I've tried 350 (lowest setting) for 15 minutes with the slit film on top for Salisbury steak. The film blows partly off, but the entree is cooked. It just doesn't taste as good as using the regular oven at 350 for 35 minutes. Fancy recipes are nice, but good basic methods for everyday frozen foods are more practical for single households. Thanks!

Can’t wait for your recipes with this AF given times and temps have to change. Also tips on when to use the tray

Ok, so I am relatively new to air fryers. A friend gave me a small ChefMan air fryer which I am happily experimenting with. My only real complaint so far is its small size ( I am semi -retired, like to cook and eat and nor afraid to learn something new.) For the same reason that I like a 7 qt crock pot, I am intrigued by this Dual Blaze's size. I like to cook for friends and/or I like lots of leftovers to freeze and eat later. My question is other than a little more to clean, a little more counter space needed, I assume this performs equally well if I am cooking for one or cooking for six? Correct? Thx

I love the Cosori I bought from Amazon last year during Prime Day -- but wouldn't it be nice if this new model were to go on special during Prime Day this year? I see that the oil sprayer you linked to in the video description comes at various price points, depending on which decorative design on the bottle one goes for. Need to find a great buy on avocado oil soon, as my current stock is running low, and the local supermarket doesn't carry it. (They don't even have the cheap olive oil/sunflower oil blend I use for other frying any more!)

Bought the Dual Blaze and LOVE IT! One question. What do you use if you want a second layer? Is there a grill type rack that will fit in it so I could do two layers of food at one time?

[@user-lz6dm5lk9y]

I have seen accessory packs for air fryers on Amazon. I do not know how well they work, but you would have to be sure to know the inside measurements of your air fryer and the rack measurements to be sure the rack would work. To my mind, air fryers are designed for you to put single layers of food in them, but this does not mean that a rack would not work. Some of the air fryer accessory packs I have seen are expensive for what you are getting, though. I would not invest in them myself. Good luck.

[@lauragarmon6969]

Will the recipe times and temperatures transfer directly to the dual blaze? Thanks for you outstanding videos. You are an excellent teacher.

Will silicone pots and liners - pots work in a Cassori Dual Blaze? I heard they would melt. Also, my veggies come out burnt and my fries are always burnt in mine on the pre-set. Should I remove the crisper? Also, I will admit I’ve had a devil of the time choosing accessories for my 6.8 quart model. Any suggestions would be really appreciated! Thanks!

[@scottholcomb1190]

I have the regular basket Cosori and I love it so much, I have considered buying another for multiple cooking. This one seems neat but just doesn't feel necessary.

[@empoweredcooks]

I've been testing fun uses for the dual burner functionality. I'm liking it more and more! But I can understand sticking with what works and what you know.

[@scottholcomb1190]

@@empoweredcooks If I was in the market for a fryer and didn't have one I might start with this. I do love the basket though, so darn handy.

[@empoweredcooks]

Yes, I totally get that.

[@GregoriusAM]

Excellent video. Thanks is so much! I wonder why they made the max temp at 400 degrees when the 4 and 5 quart ones are 450.

Cathy, thank you for doing this review. I have had a Bella air fryer as my only air fryer for a few years now. I love my Bella, and it has done everything and more than I could have asked for. But as I said, it is a few years old. So after seeing your video on the Cosori Duel Blaze, I ordered it this past Monday. It arrived yesterday and my first test run with it was wings. Oh it is was so nice NOT to have to flip them half way. And I was able to do all the wings in two batches rather then the usual three. My Bella is just 1 quart less than this Cosori, but with the Cosori, I am not losing space around the basket. The wings turned out Fabulessly (play on your channel name lol). Another thing that was nice, is the Cosori is so much quieter than my Bella. The air fryer and my Insta Pot are my workhorses. Just thought I would share, thank you!

[@empoweredcooks]

Thanks so much for taking the time to share, Amy! That is wonderful to hear that you are loving it!

[@paintingangel]

I love your videos It interests my husband in cooking. Of course he never does, but he likes to watch with me 🤣

[@empoweredcooks]

Ha ha! That's a start!

[@bethjeans3780]

Love love the Dual Blaze compared to the previous model-easier cleaning a main one. But it’s even louder than my Pro. Using a decibel app, the Dual Blaze was hitting 69-74 decibels and the Pro never went over 70. It’s not that I mind the noise, but if it’s supposed to be quieter, it means there’s an issue. I emailed Cosori but may give them a call on Monday. Their CS is great so am not concerned. I’m curious about others’ takes on the sound compared to the Pro.

[@rinkelbell183]

Hi Cathy. Treated ourselves to this air fryer for Christmas. Just wondering about placing containers in the AF. Directly in the drawer or on the rack? Tnx.

[@bethjeans3780]

@@rinkelbell183 hi - you’re responding to my comment so Cathy may not see it.

[@josieprofi2398]

ok well thanks! im buying this now, lol. my other AF is dying making super loud noises and shakes. not a cosori but ... im gonna give this one a try. in europe but i reckon its about the same other than the voltage. Thanks for your review.

[@navysealuk8755]

Thankyou i was interested but after you showed dumping out think i will give it a miss and keep using my smaller one thx

[@davidoswald5749]

Ordered the Dual Blaze today, getting it Tuesday; coming from powerxl vortex, which I was happy enough with, but for the life of me I can't get the tray cleaned of buildup or whatever residue, hoping this will be a lot easier to actually get clean, or as close to clean as possible.

[@robertwhalen9314]

Cathy I agree with you on Casori customer service I had my duel blaze that I bought in 2022 it just quit working and they sent me a new replacement.

[@022141able]

How would you air fry a rib steak in the dual blaze, would you use the insert or put it directly in the bottom of the basket?

[@Tisuchan1456]

The most important of all - Can you change the volume of the beeping with this version? I have a small Cosori at the moment and the beep is just way too loud. Would switch instantly if that was an option on this one.

[@skykitchen867]

My son has the dual blaze, and I prefer the 5.8 better. I don't mind flipping over the food using the shake feature, as I prefer to check the food anyway. It only takes a few seconds, and in the dual blaze a lot of people open it up during cooking anyway just to make sure. Great comparison video thank you for posting!

[@empoweredcooks]

Thanks for sharing your review, @Sky Kitchen

[@annammlily5720]

It’s a great option for people with disabilities like myself. I won’t have to get up and down so much to check on things. Mines on order now. So excited to be able to cook for myself! Thanks for sharing your views. Reviews and comments like this are what helped me choose the right product for me😊.

[@dave.demmel]

This is so hard... I'm between the Casori Dual Blaze and the Ninja Dual Zone... I really like the idea of cooking two dishes at the same time with the Ninja... But the lower burner also is very cool especially for a nice steak... I'll probably let black friday deals decide... 😛 PS: Thanks for you videos. helped a lot.

[@lenci9524]

Can you use your cookbook recipes, cooking times, etc with the dual blaze air fryer? I am trying to figure out which air fryer to purchase. I am new. Thank you for the video.

[@Pete_or_Peter4Long]

Does the plate in the basket stay in there when you’re dumping food out? Trying to decide if I’d miss the removable basket.

[@MedalionDS9]

This one is on sale for Prime Day on Amazon, at least in Canada it is... be sure to get one

[@mariab509]

lol my neighbor borrowed mine at Christmas and I have not seen it since. So I am going to have to get a new one. 💐💕. Thank you

Why do you ask them for it That you need it back..you bought it to use it I'd borrow from them! On a long term basis some interesting appliance or there husband ! Ha only joking About the husband

[@helenhelen5264]

Thanks for the review! Can you dehydrate fruits with the Dual Blaze?

[@empoweredcooks]

I haven't tried that yet. I don't think it goes all the way to 130 like most dehydrators. However, I did dehydrate in the Pro II that also goes to 170˚ (see video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4HceWl_qZiZoJY

[@bethjeans3780]

Cathy, how do you decide when to use or not use the crisper plate? And do you still mostly ignore the pre-sets (other than modifying them like you did for French fries in another video)? I never used them in my older Cosori. My new Dual Blaze arrived-love how there are no slits around the inside! Even though the crisper also needs cleaning, still much easier to clean. Thanks for the review and recipes, the heads up about the Prime Days price and the gift certificate!

[@annalisemarotta3858]

I am also wondering this

[@bethjeans3780]

@@annalisemarotta3858 I purchased the Dual Blaze and love it. Mostly I leave the crisper in just because it’s there, but often a parchment paper liner with holes or the type like a bowl is on top of it. But when I’ve taken it out it’s fine too. I’d always use it for steaks, and am still experimenting with other foods.

[@kellieschmitt5438]

Just got this air fryer yesterday. Anxious to try it, but I do have a couple questions. 1. With the dual burners, do I need to adjust cooking times from what is on most recipes (like your cookbook)? 2. Can I use the parchment liners in it? I have the square ones with tabs, but no holes. Was concerned they may interfere with the effectiveness of the bottom burner.

[@empoweredcooks]

Congrats! And answers to your Q's - no need to change the cook time (you just don't have to flip) and yes you can use those parchment liners with no issues!

[@jiddeyjiddey]

I feel like the «noise» part is dumb to compare cuz even tho the dual blaze is quieter, the original is still way more quiet and nicer listening to rather than something like a steaking pan or other kitchen equipment. What im tryna say is that airfryers are awesome! Got my first one today :D

[@sarahlougray6303]

I've just bought the corsori 3.5 fryer I'm hoping it helps me cook more x

Hi .I like watching your video, I learn a lot from you. I have Cosori (with basket) for about 1 year now, today a bought dual blaze and I have question in the cooking functions is :roast and broil do you use it ? I have to understand what this functions is for. Thanks

[@empoweredcooks]

Great question, Grace. AIR FRY- top heating element is on HIGH heat & the lower heating element is on HIGH heat BAKE- top heating element is on LOW heat & the lower heating element is on HIGH heat BROIL- top heating element is on HIGH heat & the lower heating element has NO heat ROAST- top heating element is on MEDIUM heat & the lower heating element is on HIGH heat

[@vincentpadovano7855]

I have the cosori xl for over a year love it...BUT I am also researching a air fryer,toaster,convection oven..I was looking at the gourmia 12 in 1...have you ever used or cooked in a toaster,air fryer combo?..any info would greatly appreciated..Thanks

[@empoweredcooks]

I have tested a few "oven style" air fryers and haven't found one that I am a fan of. I don't care for all the moving parts to it and have found they take longer to cook and the exterior always gets quite hot. And I have to always use hot pads with the racks. However, I have not tried the Gourmia 12 in 1.

[@holyhelljz]

Bought this & love how easy to use & the clean up so easy. But the plastic smell is taking over my kitchen. It's awful. Any suggestions? Did I get a bad unit? It's really bad. Thanks
