Drexel Food Lab Names Cosori Best of 10 Air Fryers After 2-Month Test

3 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Jul 23

Summary

  • Drexel Food Lab ranked the Cosori Iconic Stainless Steel 6.5Q the best overall among 10 air fryers after about two months of testing crispness, preheat speed and noise.
  • Twenty participants preferred food from the top air fryers over a standard Electrolux convection oven, with vegetables, fries, wings and nuggets coming out browner and crisper.
  • Texture-analyzer tests on up to eight fries per machine backed the sensory results, while the Typhur Sync preheated fastest and Cuisinart’s combo model was quietest at 45 decibels.
  • Other category winners included Philips 3000 Series as best budget pick, Our Place Wonder Oven Pro as best combo model, Typhur Dome 2 as best splurge and Ninja Crispi for casual cooks.
  • The Philadelphia-based lab said it will keep tracking long-term performance over the next few months as students take home the remaining machines.
