The Cosori Pro Gen 2 5.8-Quart Air Fryer is a kitchen appliance designed for rapid 360° air circulation cooking, offering a healthier alternative to deep frying with little to no oil. It aims to deliver quick, crispy, and delicious food with up to 85% fewer calories than traditional deep fryers. The air fryer features user-friendly, one-touch controls, nonstick baskets, and an intuitive, safe design, making it a convenient addition to any kitchen.
Function Description:
The air fryer operates by circulating hot air around the food, allowing for even cooking and crisping. It includes several preset cooking programs for common foods like steak, chicken, seafood, shrimp, bacon, frozen foods, french fries, vegetables, root vegetables, bread, and desserts. These presets are programmed with ideal times and temperatures, but users can also customize settings manually. The device also features a "Preheat" function to ensure thorough cooking and a "Keep Warm" function to maintain food temperature after cooking.
Usage Features:
- One-Touch Controls: The air fryer is equipped with a control screen that displays temperature, time, and various preset options. Buttons illuminate blue when active, providing clear visual feedback.
- Presets: Users can select from a variety of preset programs tailored for different food types. Each preset has a default temperature and time, which can be adjusted as needed.
- Customizable Settings: For manual air frying or adjusting presets, users can change the temperature (170°–400°F / 77°–205°C) and time (1–60 minutes) using the "+" and "–" buttons. Holding these buttons allows for rapid adjustment.
- Preheating: It is recommended to preheat the air fryer before adding food to ensure thorough cooking. The preheat function automatically sets the temperature to 400°F and a time of 5 minutes, with automatic time adjustments for lower temperatures.
- Shaking Food: For optimal crispiness and even cooking, especially with smaller, stacked foods like fries or nuggets, the air fryer includes a "Shake Reminder." This reminder alerts users halfway through cooking with beeps and a blinking "((SHAKE))" message on the display, prompting them to shake or flip the food. The cooking process pauses automatically when the baskets are removed and resumes when they are replaced.
- Basket Design: The air fryer uses two baskets: an inner basket and an outer basket. The handle is attached to the inner basket. A sliding button guard protects the basket release button, preventing accidental separation of the baskets while carrying. Baskets should only be separated when resting on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Automatic Pause and Resume: Removing the baskets during cooking automatically pauses the air fryer, and the display turns off as a safety feature. Cooking automatically resumes with previous settings when the baskets are returned.
- Automatic Shutoff: If no buttons are pressed for 3 minutes, the air fryer clears all settings and enters standby mode. If there are no active cooking programs, it will turn off after 3 minutes of inactivity.
- Overheat Protection: The device is equipped with an overheat protection feature that automatically shuts down the air fryer if it overheats, ensuring safety. Users should allow the air fryer to cool completely before using it again.
- Temperature Unit Switching: Users can switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius by pressing and holding the "Temp/Time" button for 3 seconds.
- Cooking Guide: The manual provides tips for optimal air frying, including advice on avoiding overfilling baskets, using oil for crispiness, and preparing specific foods like french fries. It also warns against using liquid-marinated foods due to potential splatter and smoke.
Maintenance Features:
- Easy Cleaning: The air fryer baskets are dishwasher safe, making cleanup convenient. They can also be washed by hand with hot, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Soaking may be necessary for stubborn food residues.
- Nonstick Coating: The baskets feature a nonstick coating, which requires avoiding metal utensils and abrasive cleaning materials to prevent damage.
- Interior Cleaning: The inside of the air fryer should be cleaned with a slightly moist, non-abrasive sponge or cloth. It is crucial not to immerse the air fryer in water. The heating coil can also be cleaned to remove food debris, ensuring it is completely dry before the next use.
- Exterior Cleaning: The exterior of the air fryer can be wiped with a moist cloth as needed.
- Grease Removal: For stubborn grease, a paste made from baking soda and water can be used to scrub the baskets, followed by rinsing.
- Cooling: After use, the air fryer should be turned off and unplugged, allowing it to cool completely before cleaning. Pulling out the baskets can expedite the cooling process.
- Foil Lining: Lining the outer basket with foil can help make cleanup easier.
