More and more air fryer recipes are storming the nation, as air fryers basically work like “feature-packed” amped-up countertop convection ovens, meaning they do a fantastic job at cooking up frozen foods that are meant to taste deep-fried. Air fryers can quickly cook frozen foods like frozen french fries or frozen chicken wings by circulating hot air around the food via a convection mechanism, working just like a traditional convection oven. One of the best air fryers that’s currently available on the market is the Cosori Premium 5.8-Quart Air Fryer.
The Cosori Premium 5.8-Quart Air Fryer (CP137-AF1) is a Smart WiFi Air Fryer that can substantially shorten both your preheating and cooking times, no matter what recipe you decide to follow.
Furthermore, it features 360° Air Circulation Technology, allowing it to cut down 85% of fat content during cooking. This basically means you can get healthier meals in a short amount of time. Instead of getting super greasy fried food, you can get a much healthier option that comes with 85% less fat content.
This air fryer also comes with an inner removable cooking non-stick basket that’s dishwasher safe, meaning you can spend less time cleaning and more time cooking. It also features 11 different original cooking presets, which ensures that you’ll never run out of ideas on what to cook next.
Lastly, this air fryer features a One-Touch LED Panel that’s super easy to use, which allows you to make perfect home-made dishes every time, no matter what recipe you decide to follow next. All you have to do is select a cooking preset, while the Cosori Premium 5.8 takes care of the rest, including both time and heat calculations.
Let’s take a detailed look at this amazing air fryer and check both its design and tons of awesome features.
DESIGN
The Cosori Premium 5.8-Quart Smart WiFi Air Fryer (CP137-AF1) measures exactly 11.8 inches long by 11.8 inches wide by 12.6 inches tall. Thanks to its bulky size, the “chef” in your house can easily serve between 3 to 5 fried-dish lovers by using the air fryer’s Detachable Outer/Inner Basket combo, which features a 3.7 Quarts (3.5 Litres) capacity.
The Cosori Premium 5.8 features a simple, yet stylish and futuristic design that allows it to easily blend in with all the rest of your kitchen appliances, furniture and kitchen countertop. It’s screams “technology” while also giving you a new cooking assistant that you’ll never want to part ways with, ever again.
At the top of the air fryer users can find an Air Inlet, while at the very back of the device, close to the center of that side you’ll find the air fryer’s Air Outlet. These allow for a great air circulation while cooking. Right under its Air Outlet you’ll find the air fryer’s Power Cord.
At the very bottom of the air fryer, users can find two Housing Handles, one on the left side of the unit, and one on its right side. These allow you to move the entire unit from one place to another with ease, which is great whenever you’re looking to free up some space within your kitchen countertop.
At its front side, right under the unit’s Control Screen (Touch Panel Interface + Display Screen – discussed further ahead) you can find the air fryer’s Detachable Outer Basket, which also contains a smaller, Removable Inner Nonstick Basket.
This Removable Inner Nonstick Basket features a sturdy Basket Handle that’s very easy and super comfortable to hold, which comes equipped with a Sliding Button Guard that makes it easier for you to pull/slide out the unit’s Detachable Outer Basket, as well as a Basket Release Button that allows you to easily detach the air fryer’s two baskets (inner and outer) from each other.
This sturdy handle also allows you to bring both baskets (when integrated/attached together) to wherever you’re preparing the rest of your food, which should offer you some extra convenience.
Since the air fryer’s Removable Inner Basket features a nonstick surface, foods are as easy to take out of it as they were to put in. This nonstick surface also results in less residue left behind, which in turn, makes cleanup a much easier job.
Furthermore, both of the air fryer’s detachable baskets are also dishwasher safe, which ultimately makes cleaning the Cosori Premium 5.8-Quart Air Fryer a super easy task.
All you have to do is pull both baskets out (when integrated together – right after cooking with the air fryer), then slide the Sliding Button Guard forward and press the Basket Release Button to detach one basket from another. Then just chuck both of them inside your dishwasher and you’re done.
Lastly, the basket materials are also PFOA-free (Perfluorooctanoic Acid-free), which means both baskets were made without the use of the chemical PFOA during their manufacturing process.
This basically means that you’ll have nothing to worry about when mixing the rest of your dishes with the air fryer’s baskets in the same dishwasher load.
INTERFACE
As mentioned before, the Cosori Premium 5.8 Air Fryer also comes equipped with a Control Screen (located at the front of the unit) that consists of a Touch Panel Interface and a generously large 6.8″ by 3.5″ Digital Display Screen.
This Control Screens offers users a super intuitive operation, as all you have to do is select any setting on the air fryer’s easy-to-read LED panel-buttons with just a tap.
This awesome Control Panel features a ton of Bonus Settings that are not often found in other air fryers, including Function Buttons like Preheat, Keep Warm, Auto Shutoff, Memory function, °F/°C Temperature-Switching, and Shake Reminder, as well as Preset Buttons like Steak, Chicken, Seafood, Shrimp, Bacon, Frozen Foods, French Fries, Vegetables, Root Vegetables, Bread, Desserts.
All these buttons work as One-touch Selections, so all you have to do is give a simple tap with your finger on any LED Button and the air fryer does the rest.
This ultimately means that you’ll have no need to calculate your meal’s cooking temperature or cooking time, as the air fryer’s 11 different original cooking presets contain all the cooking math pre-configured to them.
Function Buttons
The Keep Warm button allows you to have the air fryer producing a gentle heat that keeps your food fresh until it’s ready to be served.
The Control Panel’s unique Shake Reminder button works like a built-in cooking assistant that tells you when you should shake the air fryer’s baskets once again (to even out your food’s fried sides).
Toggling the Temperature & Time button allows you to freely adjust either values to your preference. This lets you adjust the cooking temperature between 170°–400°F (75°C-205°C) and/or cooking time between 1–60 minutes so that you can ultimately achieve the perfect bake.
Digital Screen’s Display Messages
The Control Panel offers three different display messages.
There’s a Cooking Preset Duration Message that shows you when your Cooking Preset has ended, a Timer Message that works as a Timing Reminder to shake or flip your food, and a Preheat Temperature Value Message that shows you the exact temperature value of your preheated air fryer, letting you know that it is ready to start cooking.
COOKING SPECS
The air fryer works at 1500 W and features a AC 220-240V – 50/60Hz Power Supply.

FEATURES
Rapid Heat Circulation – Faster Preheating & Cooking Times
The Cosori Premium 5.8 can substantially shorten both your preheating and cooking times thanks to its Rapid Heat Circulation, no matter what recipe you decide to follow.
Preheating only takes you 5 minutes, and its featured 360° Air Circulation Technology allows the air fryer to cut down 85% of fat content during cooking, as well as to cut down on cooking time when compared to cooking in a traditional oven.
This ultimately allows you to get healthier meals in a short amount of time.
Fry with 85% Less Fat
Not only can the air fryer’s 360° Air Circulation Technology substantially shorten both its preheating and cooking times, but using an air fryer also allows you to cut down 85% of fat content during cooking when compared to traditional deep-frying, as air frying recipes require no more than 1 tbsp of oil.
The air fryer’s highly effective air circulation evenly cooks your food within while keeping your meal’s textures as crispy as they can be.
This means that you won’t need to fire up an entire oven anymore, which saves you both time, money in energy consumption and oil. With little-to-zero oil you can cook healthier/family-friendly foods faster, and then serve healthy low-fat meals for 2-3 people.
11 Different Cooking Presets for the Ultimate Cooking Convenience
As mentioned before, this air fryer offers a total of eleven (x11) different Cooking Presets, making it a one cutting-edge machine.
This includes Steak, Chicken, Seafood, Shrimp, Bacon, Frozen Foods, French Fries, Vegetables, Root Vegetables, Bread, and Desserts Cooking Presets.
From all of its presets, the air fryer will always manage all the cooking temperature and cooking time calculations, but as mentioned before, you can also adjust both values (Temperature between 170°–400°F and Time between 1–60 minutes).
Lastly, it’s worth to mention that if you ever find a tiny amount of steam rising from the air fryer’s top side whenever cooking with high-fluid fruits, there’s no need to worry about it, as this is perfectly normal and it won`t bring any damage to the device.
100 Brand-New Recipes w/ Helpful Details
While the typical included free air fryer cookbooks contain around just 30–40 recipes, the Cosori Recipe Book will start you off with 100 original, in-house recipes.
