I met a woman in the small appliance isle a few weeks back getting ready to buy a power xl oven door type cooker. I immediately told her I used to have one years ago and they are junk. I showed her your channel on you tube and she subscribed right on the spot. I showed her a couple of videos where you compare different cookers. The thing she really liked was the list of videos of all the foods you can cook in an airfryer. I saw her yesterday in the grocery store and she bought a Cosori from Amazon. She bought it because of your reviews. She also said she uses it everyday! This is just to let you know you do make a difference in people's lives in a positive way in what seems like a negative world! Thank you
THANK YOU so much for conducting a comparison review including the Paula Deen Ceramic Air Fryer. It has been on my wish list for a long time. And YES YES YES - - please do a video comparing other brands of ceramic air fryers. From this review, I concluded that I would not be happy with the PD because of the heat emanating from the external basket; the LOUD beeps; and the 10 qt size is way too large for just one person. What I liked about the PD AF is the front location of the digital panel; ability to raise the height of the inside "shelf" of the basket; and of course ceramic versus teflon will always be a win-win for me. Thank you for educating us on all things "Air Fryer" - - LOVE your videos!!! 🙂
My original Paula air fryer is still going. I have gone through 2 COSORI with bad customer service. I have pulled out Paula again for the win. The elevated rack would have been used for the fries when you wanted them cooked quicker and crispier.
Thank you so much for this review! Yes, please do a review for more ceramic coated air fryers!!! I was considering the Paula Deen air fryer because it was one of the only ones that are ceramic - VERY important for my families health! But I will admit the price is what made me hit the pause button.
I think the fact that the outside case gets very hot would be a dealbreaker for me. I have an air fryer/toaster oven with a glass door and I am constantly Burning my fingers on the glass door when I grab the handle. Thank you for a great review and save me some money.
I am not too comfortable buying a Teflon airfryer so if you can please do a review on all the good square ceramic airfryers, that would be really great!
Literally everything in life is exposure to some kind of chemicals that can affect us. As long as you aren't damaging the teflon coating nor is it flaking off.... you're fine.
Thanks for your reviews. I enjoy reading them. I'm still searching for the best non toxic fryer. Is it possible for you to review Philips Air fryers as well?
I have an older Paula Deen air fryer and you will have to pry it out of my dead hands, I love it so much. It doesn't get hot on the outside so it is disappointing that the newer one has that concerning flaw. The ceramic is the winner and although I did buy the Cosori too, I hate the standard coating and cleaning mess and do not use it. Good review. I love your channel.
Cosori for the win. I prefer a crisp bacon 🥓. Which visually the cosori did look to be crispier. I enjoy your air fryer comparison reviews. Ty for sharing.
Thank you for all your videos. They are great. You mentioned teflon, I didn't know there was teflon in air fryers. I thought teflon was prohibited to use, especially in cooking utensils. How about reviews in stainless steel air fryers. If they have teflon, I will change to stainless steel.
Great review. Heck, all your videos are good. A request when you're taking an internal temp. Could you please say what temp it should be after you show what it is. That would be helpful. Thank you.
Just an FYI about the smokey bacon. I am still getting used to my Cosori air fryer but did read somewhere that when making bacon to put a tablespoon of water or so in the bottom and that will not happen. So far my Corsoi and are are becoming good friends.::))))
Thank you for your air fryer reviews. I have a request, please include where the air fryers are made, the parts, and the assembly. I'd be very curious.
@haselbasil2488 in this video (see transcript) she says "7:51 nice side note little education if you 7:54 have the Dual Blaze and it ever smokes 7:56 like this because of all the fat all you 7:58 have to do is hit the broil button and 8:00 that turns off the bottom burner so it 8:02 won't like smoke up and like overheat 8:05 all of that oil at the bottom of it all
Hi Cathy!!! I liked your review today. I hope my AF doesn't go out soon because I won't know what one to purchase next!!! So...many new ones came out since I got my Ninja AF. I do enjoy you doing these comparisons. Thank you my sweet friend...Great Video!!!...🦋
I had a Paula Deen air fryer for about a year. The first problem I had was it would not shut off running unless you unplugged it. My husband, the fixer of all things, did manage to fix that problem. Great, I loved that air fryer! Then just two months later, the whole display died. I was so upset and frustrated at this point because it wasn't very old, and I just threw it away and got something else. I will never buy anything Paula Deen ever again.
I love my Paula Deen 6qt airfryer its cooked everything as I like including baking. Im sure if this one I have broke Id buy that new 10qt model. One of my favorite things is the control panel being on the front not the top of the machine as I am handicap and that would work for me better.
Good morning Cathy! Maybe Paula’s bacon needed to be cooked (no pun intended) in the higher rack setting. Other than that, why pay more money for less features? I’ll keep my Cosori thank you very much, and I think it’ll be spatchcocked chicken for dinner tonight, since I have my 6.8 quart back. Totally yummy!
I love the idea of a ceramic cover as I moved to an internal ceramic covered microwave and not only are they brilliant for cleaning but it’s never rusted at all.
Good afternoon from Connecticut I think most of us if you remember with the non stick fry pans we don't like Teflon material I know it took few years before they fixed that so for me I may choose stainless steel interior instead
I love how big the Paula Deen is! I’m thinking it needs something underneath it to protect the counters if it gets really hot. (I just got new countertops so I’m very conscious of preserving them).
Extremely important point- some use a dedicated line for the higher wattage- others who dont know have problems , even melt outlet , and write bad reviews
I love my Bella pro series 9 QT Trizone air fryer. I can take out the middle part or leave it in and do two different items at the same time with different temps and times. It's very easy to clean and if I like that if I decide to air fry a whole chicken, duck or even turkey, I can. It air fries, bakes, roasts, broils and it's got a dehydrator and I like the reheat function as well. I use it a lot now to make healthy non processed meals.
I think if you raise the rack up in Father Deen air fryer it would get a better cook time like the cosori because remember Paula's is deeper and cosori has a double burner something to take in consideration
The larger size and ceramic coating are very nice features and worth $50 bucks more. But nothing beats the dual blaze having both burners. I got mine during the recall because I could not be without an air fryer for two days let alone the 2 months it took to get a replacement. Still it was a win win for me because I like the dual blaze so much more.
I don’t think comparing the dual blaze with ANY air fryer that only has one burner is a fair comparison. Apples and oranges. A more accurate comparison would have been between the single burner Corsori vs the Paula Deen. Also, all ceramic air fryers get hotter than Teflon but worth it in my opinion. Thanks
One of the reasons i love my first air fryer is how cool the outside/front is after use. Less heat going into my small kitchen. A hot outside is worrisome for my circumstances and delicate skin.
I have a cermac air fryer and would not want anything else. It was expensive, but really aren't you worth it. Protect your health people, you are irreplaceable.
Would love you to do a full review on the new model for 2024 the cosori dual zone with 2 baskets and clear windows and lights i have one coming in a few days im still loving my Dual blaze best ever airfryer ❤
Would you do a comparison or review of the Yedi Evolution 6.8qt air fryer? I ordered one before tripping onto your channel, and am hoping I didn't make a mistake by going for this one.
I’m brand new to your channel, where did you get your cheat sheet ,times and temps. I was wondering what you thought of the dual zone air fryer by Emeril with the French doors. .
Are all Consori Air Fryers PTFE- PFOA free? I'm good with an air fryer as long as its not those chemicals. My biggest issue? I need a BIG airfryer 3 boys wife and I. I'm digging the dual blaze.... is it PTFE/PFOA free?
You have to be careful still because if it's sorayed on ceramic which uses chemical compounds to adhere to the basket then it's just as dangerous versus an actual ceramic plate and or basket. Not all ceramic is created equal
Good Afternoon Cathy, I just found your channel because I have finally made the decision to purchase my 1st air fryer. I was initially interested in the french door type of air fryer simply because they had a window with a light to see what you are cooking. However, it seemed more difficult than just pulling out a drawer full of food, and pouring the fries, etc. into a bowl. I think I have decided on the Instant Vortex Plus 6qt Air Fryer with ClearCook - Black... But, I can't seen to find an answer to my question on this air fryer. It says it tells you on the screen when cooking half way to done and to shake the basket, but is that just on the screen OR is there an audible beep ? Also, someone told me that this air fryer does not have just a normal plug, do you need an upgraded electrical outlet ? Also, my "total budget" for this item is no more than $100.00, will be waiting and watching for BLACK FRIDAY SALES... Thanks
The Dual Blaze double burner is a great feature - no pre-heating, no flipping, which you didn’t point out, but my favorite is it’s so much easier to clean than previous models. The basket doesn’t have holes in it which is a game changer. On the Paula Dean, I don’t like the combo metal & black exterior = fingerprints on the metal. But even if her AF was better, wouldn’t buy her brand.
I’m really curious if the ceramic last longer or is easier to clean. My Teflon one with a lot of use is pretty much toast after about six months. The finish just hasn’t held up well.
What is your opinion of the Chefman TurboFry® Touch Air Fryer, XL 8-Qt, compared to the Cosori Dual Blaze 6.8 Q? Can you do a review of the Chefman or a comparison?
I'll stick with my Cosori. I would eventally like to get the dual blaze model. I hand wash usually, but like that I can put the Cosori basket in the dishwasher if it's really greasy. Is the ceramic easier to clean on the Paula Dean?
My Cosori dual blaze has all the presets illuminated and the mode you select turns orange. Maybe it's been resolved in a firmware update. I love mine..full chicken and steaks in it are amazing
I prefer staintess steel and ceramic coating instead of forever chemicals. There are always particles emitted when the unit heats up... even without scrathes on the surface
I had dual blaze and wasn't impressed with all the hype. I now have Paula Deene AF in red and love it. Its beautiful and cooks fast imo. I usually follow cooking times that I see on yt but have to shave off a few mins bc it cooks faster than the times given. Plus I love the size.
Definitely more ceramic, stainless or anything but teflon test. I really want an air fryer but I flatly refuse to buy one coated with teflon and I couldn't careless what so called "experts" have to say about teflon not releasing any toxins unless it reaches 500 degrees. Before I knew any better back 30 to 40 years ago and got sucked into buying a teflon pan I think we all know that teflon does not last, it wears down quickly and starts to flake but long before that like literally every time you use it from day one its releasing micro-particles onto the food in the same way that we get micro-plastics and even a cast iron pan releases micro-particles of iron, enough that if you cook with cast iron you should get plenty of iron in your diet. So it doesn't matter how gingerly you treat it, its still going to release micro-particles of cancer causing chemicals into your food, its inevitable and theres no way around it. So they can make the claims all day long that teflon is safe but that is clearly either a lie or they're seriously ignorant. So, the only air fryers I have any interest in are ceramic, stainless and glass, and obviously if these companies had anyone working for them worth a ratz arse then they would make an air fryer basket and grate out of carbon steel which is just as non stick as teflon and gets better with age with zero toxicity. One that looks promising right now is the "Paula Deen" 8.5qt ceramic and stainless air fryer, the one that just has a knob on the front that adjust the temp and the time and thats it. and its only $50
This doesn't seem like a fair fight though. The Cosori has a double burner while the Paula Deen has just one. A better comparison would be the Paula Deen vs the Cosori II.
I was very curious about this review. I have had this Paula Deen air fryer over a year and a half and it’s been the best air fryer I’ve ever owned. Just FYI it cooks bacon just fine! And FYI it cooks the best burger I’ve ever cooked. Plus it’s an air fryer and of course it’s going to get hot, children shouldn’t be around the air fryer anyways. Really glad I tuned in so I could support Paula Deen in this comparison; because she as real as she is on television. By far all her products are all so good! Teflon is bad for your health too so why would you want to cook with a Teflon air fryer for your family anyways! Paula Deen by for won this comparison; really disappointed your channel was for the other air fryer! I won’t be watching anymore of your productions.
I think im going to buy a Ninja air fryer in another week or so, or MAYBE on Prime day! I really like my Ninja Foodi and the fact that they don't use Teflon.
I met a woman in the small appliance isle a few weeks back getting ready to buy a power xl oven door type cooker. I immediately told her I used to have one years ago and they are junk.

Definitely would like more information on ceramic air fryers
I would appreciate additional ceramic air fryer reviews. Thank you.
Me too!! I'm more confused now than ever. I'm wondering does the ceramic wear off and if so does it wear down to Teflon.
THANK YOU so much for conducting a comparison review including the Paula Deen Ceramic Air Fryer. It has been on my wish list for a long time.

I read that Ninja Air Fry's were ceramic coated.
ceramic coated isn't nessairly better for health as their is zero transparency telling consumers whats in the coating.
I think the fact that the outside case gets very hot would be a dealbreaker for me. I have an air fryer/toaster oven with a glass door and I am constantly Burning my fingers on the glass door when I grab the handle. Thank you for a great review and save me some money.

I am not too comfortable buying a Teflon airfryer so if you can please do a review on all the good square ceramic airfryers, that would be really great!
Teflon in an air fryer is not a concern for me. Paula Deen not impressed I love my Dual Blaze elements top and bottom , is a winner for me.
@@thatgirl626why isn’t it a concern for you?
@@lucylu0615 it’s just not, I doubt any Teflon of today is seeping in your food. Teflon has come a long way, improved, I don’t believe opinions.
@@thatgirl626 thank you I appreciate your reply.
@@lucylu0615 I read that Ninja Air Fryer's were ceramic coated (whatever that means)
Love your comparison air fryer video. I would like to see you compare more of the toaster oven style air fryers. Thank you
I wish I knew they had ceramic coated ones. I kinda worry about exposure to non-stick chemicals.
Literally everything in life is exposure to some kind of chemicals that can affect us. As long as you aren't damaging the teflon coating nor is it flaking off.... you're fine.
That’s why I clicked. I’d like safe and small.
Me too!! I heard that Teflon (and aluminium) can be toxic if it leeches or peels into the food, but I prefer an airfryer and not an oven type.
I read you are suppose to the air fryer toaster ovens be the trays are stainless steel. Cosori, Cuisinart and Breville are the top rated ones.
You mean your worried about forever chemicals in the non stick material.
Thanks for your reviews. I enjoy reading them. I'm still searching for the best non toxic fryer. Is it possible for you to review Philips Air fryers as well?
Thank you Cathy for doing these test. Saves us soooo much money.

Yes, I would loveto hear more about ther ceramic options
Please do a video on other ceramic air fryers.
I love your comparison video's...keeps me in the loop and I will be sticking with my Cosori.....thanks for sharing!
So do you have a recommendation for an air fryer that is ceramic and has the dual elements top and bottom?
i have a ceramic one and love it
Cosori for the win. I prefer a crisp bacon 🥓. Which visually the cosori did look to be crispier. I enjoy your air fryer comparison reviews. Ty for sharing.
I love Paula Dean and watch both of you. Thank you for trying out both air fryers and showing the differences in a classy way❤
Thank you for all your videos. They are great. You mentioned teflon, I didn't know there was teflon in air fryers. I thought teflon was prohibited to use, especially in cooking utensils. How about reviews in stainless steel air fryers. If they have teflon, I will change to stainless steel.
Good comparison video :) Thanks for all the effort you go to ❤
hi kathy can you do more videos for airfryers bpa free non teflon and stainlees steel and creamic and wondering is corsori cp 168 bpa free thanks
Great review. Heck, all your videos are good. A request when you're taking an internal temp. Could you please say what temp it should be after you show what it is. That would be helpful. Thank you.
Just an FYI about the smokey bacon. I am still getting used to my Cosori air fryer but did read somewhere that when making bacon to put a tablespoon of water or so in the bottom and that will not happen. So far my Corsoi and are are becoming good friends.::))))
Thank you for your air fryer reviews. I have a request, please include where the air fryers are made, the parts, and the assembly. I'd be very curious.
Ty for the review, do not need it hot on outside on counter!
I have a cosori dual blaze and I am over the moon with it. It makes a bid difference having the extra element. Good review
I am hoping they have the Blaze on sale during Prime Days.
When I bought mine it was 180 pounds, the next week it came down to 160 pounds. It's well worth the money, i hope it's in the sale for you
Do you find that it burns grease or anything else having a burner on the bottom ? Can you turn off the lower burner for all cooking ?
@haselbasil2488 in this video (see transcript) she says "7:51
nice side note little education if you
7:54
have the Dual Blaze and it ever smokes
7:56
like this because of all the fat all you
7:58
have to do is hit the broil button and
8:00
that turns off the bottom burner so it
8:02
won't like smoke up and like overheat
8:05
all of that oil at the bottom of it all
Good video. Thank you.
I'd like to have your thoughts on the safety of the teflon vs non-teflon fryers.
Hi Cathy!!! I liked your review today. I hope my AF doesn't go out soon because I won't know what one to purchase next!!! So...many new ones came out since I got my Ninja AF. I do enjoy you doing these comparisons. Thank you my sweet friend...Great Video!!!...🦋
Sometimes paying for the name is worth it, other times not so much. Great comparison Cathy 😉 thanks again for keeping it real.
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks from England.
Please make a review on air fryers with borosilicate glass baskets.
Cathy, Do we know if putting down parchment liners in our teflon fryers protects us?
I had a Paula Deen air fryer for about a year. The first problem I had was it would not shut off running unless you unplugged it. My husband, the fixer of all things, did manage to fix that problem. Great, I loved that air fryer! Then just two months later, the whole display died. I was so upset and frustrated at this point because it wasn't very old, and I just threw it away and got something else. I will never buy anything Paula Deen ever again.
Nice video. How about the glass air fryer? What do you think of them?
Great comparison, I’ve not been disappointed with my Dual Blaze yet! Cosori got it right! Thanks for the JOY! ❤🎉
Yes, please do a ceramic air fryer comparison.
Yes, I would love more air fryer reviews.
Great review! I actually thought the frys from the PD AF looked overly crisped. And for the difference in price, I'll stick with my Cosori Gen 2.
I love my Paula Deen 6qt airfryer its cooked everything as I like including baking. Im sure if this one I have broke Id buy that new 10qt model. One of my favorite things is the control panel being on the front not the top of the machine as I am handicap and that would work for me better.
Can you review the new Ninja Flexdrawer air fryer please? It seems to be similar to the instant versazone with a removable divider.
I just bought the Aria Ceramic 5Qt. I love it!
Good morning Cathy! Maybe Paula’s bacon needed to be cooked (no pun intended) in the higher rack setting. Other than that, why pay more money for less features? I’ll keep my Cosori thank you very much, and I think it’ll be spatchcocked chicken for dinner tonight, since I have my 6.8 quart back. Totally yummy!
Hi Cathy you should try ground up corn flakes to bread chicken it’s really good
thanks for this idea! @michelpirier731
I love the idea of a ceramic cover as I moved to an internal ceramic covered microwave and not only are they brilliant for cleaning but it’s never rusted at all.
I like the video, May I suggest to purchase a digital non Contact Infrared thermometer to measure the temp of the outside surface.
I like the idea of ceramic vs teflon for food safety..what are your thoughts on that? What about stainless steel baskets? Thanks!
Yes please on ceramic air fryers! Also Cosori makes an air fryer oven.
How about reviewing the ninja double basket
Thanks Cathy - I’ll save my money for a dual blaze.
Good afternoon from Connecticut I think most of us if you remember with the non stick fry pans we don't like Teflon material I know it took few years before they fixed that so for me I may choose stainless steel interior instead
I love how big the Paula Deen is! I’m thinking it needs something underneath it to protect the counters if it gets really hot. (I just got new countertops so I’m very conscious of preserving them).
I have mine on a cutting board with handles and those felt rounds on the underneath. I can move it in the counter very easily.
1750 Watts will pull about 14.6 Amps from the typical 120VAC 15 Amp kitchen circuit. If you pull any higher current, breakers will start tripping.
Extremely important point- some use a dedicated line for the higher wattage- others who dont know have problems , even melt outlet , and write bad reviews
Since you’re the expert on air fryer, Can u please do a video on the healthiest air fryer?
I love my Bella pro series 9 QT Trizone air fryer. I can take out the middle part or leave it in and
do two different items at the same time with different temps and times. It's very easy to clean
and if I like that if I decide to air fry a whole chicken, duck or even turkey, I can. It air fries,
bakes, roasts, broils and it's got a dehydrator and I like the reheat function as well.
I use it a lot now to make healthy non processed meals.
I think if you raise the rack up in Father Deen air fryer it would get a better cook time like the cosori because remember Paula's is deeper and cosori has a double burner something to take in consideration
Can you do small air fryers, like 2 quart ones?
The larger size and ceramic coating are very nice features and worth $50 bucks more. But nothing beats the dual blaze having both burners. I got mine during the recall because I could not be without an air fryer for two days let alone the 2 months it took to get a replacement. Still it was a win win for me because I like the dual blaze so much more.
I think I would like the dual blaze feature when I'm looking for a new AF...🦋
@@DianeC. it costs more but It has been worth ir
Is the Cosori Ceramic coated?

Love all of your videos, tips & recipes!
Maybe yhe paula dean preset is like a radio preset. Hold the button?
And most def would want to see a few ceramic air friers, also durability
You have to be careful still because if it's sorayed on ceramic which uses chemical compounds to adhere to the basket then it's just as dangerous versus an actual ceramic plate and or basket. Not all ceramic is created equal

I would love for Cosori to get your input for a new air fryer model.
That would be fun!
Can you review the Kyvol AF600 ceramic coated? It’s only 1350 watts but has an FDA carcinogen/65 warning none.It’s also smart with an app!
I'll stick with my Cosori. I would eventally like to get the dual blaze model. I hand wash usually, but like that I can put the Cosori basket in the dishwasher if it's really greasy. Is the ceramic easier to clean on the Paula Dean?

Definitely more ceramic, stainless or anything but teflon test.
I really want an air fryer but I flatly refuse to buy one coated with teflon and I couldn't careless what so called "experts" have to say about teflon not releasing any toxins unless it reaches 500 degrees.
Before I knew any better back 30 to 40 years ago and got sucked into buying a teflon pan I think we all know that teflon does not last, it wears down quickly and starts to flake but long before that like literally every time you use it from day one its releasing micro-particles onto the food in the same way that we get micro-plastics and even a cast iron pan releases micro-particles of iron, enough that if you cook with cast iron you should get plenty of iron in your diet. So it doesn't matter how gingerly you treat it, its still going to release micro-particles of cancer causing chemicals into your food, its inevitable and theres no way around it.
So they can make the claims all day long that teflon is safe but that is clearly either a lie or they're seriously ignorant.
So, the only air fryers I have any interest in are ceramic, stainless and glass, and obviously if these companies had anyone working for them worth a ratz arse then they would make an air fryer basket and grate out of carbon steel which is just as non stick as teflon and gets better with age with zero toxicity.
One that looks promising right now is the "Paula Deen" 8.5qt ceramic and stainless air fryer, the one that just has a knob on the front that adjust the temp and the time and thats it. and its only $50
yes, please - more reviews of the advertised "non-toxic" air fryers.
This doesn't seem like a fair fight though. The Cosori has a double burner while the Paula Deen has just one. A better comparison would be the Paula Deen vs the Cosori II.
I was very curious about this review. I have had this Paula Deen air fryer over a year and a half and it’s been the best air fryer I’ve ever owned. Just FYI it cooks bacon just fine! And FYI it cooks the best burger I’ve ever cooked. Plus it’s an air fryer and of course it’s going to get hot, children shouldn’t be around the air fryer anyways. Really glad I tuned in so I could support Paula Deen in this comparison; because she as real as she is on television. By far all her products are all so good! Teflon is bad for your health too so why would you want to cook with a Teflon air fryer for your family anyways! Paula Deen by for won this comparison; really disappointed your channel was for the other air fryer! I won’t be watching anymore of your productions.
I think im going to buy a Ninja air fryer in another week or so, or MAYBE on Prime day! I really like my Ninja Foodi and the fact that they don't use Teflon.
