Cosori Turbo Tower Pro review: A Teflon-free, space-saving air fryer

Finest Costs Right now: Cosori Turbo Tower Professional

I preferred the format right away. Two drawers stacked vertically are way more handy than a horizontal design, particularly in a normal-sized kitchen the place counter area is at a premium. On the identical time, you get a beneficiant quantity in a comparatively small area: a complete of 10.8 litres, divided into 4.3 litres within the higher drawer and 6.5 litres within the decrease drawer.

That is sufficient for bigger households and for many who usually prepare dinner a number of elements of a dinner on the identical time. You’ll be able to match a complete rooster within the decrease drawer!

One other massive plus with the Professional mannequin is the ceramic drawers. This implies they aren’t product of Teflon, which generally is a well being hazard when the floor begins to flake. (It’s value noting that this solely applies to the Professional variations, not the common Turbo Tower.)

Sync operate to have all of your meals prepared without delay

The important thing to a double air fryer is how straightforward it’s to get every thing prepared on the identical time. There’s a sync operate right here that could be acquainted to you from Ninja fashions. You set each zones without delay, even when they’ve totally different cooking occasions, they usually’ll end on the identical time. It sounds trivial, however in follow it makes cooking a lot less complicated. After all, it’s also possible to match temperatures in each drawers, or run totally different temperatures and occasions.

The decrease drawer will also be divided into two with a rack. It’s not an entire “third drawer”, but it surely’s sufficient to separate inexperienced greens from potatoes, for instance, or to maintain one portion much less crispy whereas one other will get extra floor space uncovered to the warmth.

Efficiency, warmth and consistency

You’ll be able to inform that the machine is highly effective. It heats up shortly – in my take a look at, it took about 3.5 minutes to achieve 180°C – and it’s efficient even with the hampers stuffed with meals. Nevertheless, full doesn’t imply cram in every thing you possibly can. It’s an air fryer in any case, so you should go away room for the air to flow into.

The Cosori Turbo Tower Professional has a number of heating parts, two for the decrease drawer (above and beneath) and one for the higher one. This supplies extra even warmth distribution than less complicated fashions. The result’s extra even cooking than many dual-drawer fashions, however you’ll nonetheless want to show meals over for finest outcomes. The decrease heating coil is weaker than the higher one, so the “underside” doesn’t get the identical cooking depth.

That is additionally an air fryer that requires you to suppose in layers. The higher drawer is good for gadgets that profit from extra direct warmth and fast browning, whereas the decrease drawer (particularly with the rack) can function a “bigger baking tray” for greens or a bigger amount of a aspect dish.

Straightforward to maintain clear

The ceramic is simple to wash, however the massive benefit is that the trays and racks are straightforward to take away and dishwasher-safe. For those who use an air fryer usually, you know the way a lot work having to clean the trays by hand after every use provides. The heating parts are unprotected, which suggests they’ll get splashed simply, but it surely additionally makes them straightforward to wash.

However despite the fact that the trays are dishwasher-safe, one tip is to make use of silicone liners. They’re low-cost, reusable, they usually make cleansing a lot simpler, particularly whenever you’re cooking marinated, fattier or stickier meals. The draw back is that you could lose some crispiness if the liner blocks the air stream, so select skinny liners and don’t overfill them.

The app is… okay

Turbo Tower Professional is linked to Vesync. In principle, that is the “sensible” half, however in follow, the app doesn’t add a lot to on a regular basis life. It offers you notifications when the meals is prepared, however they’re usually out of sync or are pointless as a result of you possibly can hear the beeps within the kitchen anyway.

As well as, you’ll nonetheless want to start out the cooking course of manually on the air fryer itself. For these of you who had been hoping to start out every thing from the couch, the app received’t provide help to there.

The place the app truly is useful is as a information and reminiscence assist. It accommodates tips about occasions and temperatures for various dishes, and it can save you your cooking programme so that you don’t must guess subsequent time. It’s not revolutionary, but it surely’s sensible. Total, you in all probability received’t use it that always when you get a really feel for the way lengthy several types of meals must be cooked.
