With its basket able to be used as one large (albeit slightly narrow) space, or split into two separate zones, this is a versatile appliance that will make mealtimes much easier. What’s more, thanks to its handy app, you can control the device from your phone and set the two baskets to separate cooking times and temperatures. Thanks to Sync Cooking, you can even set two foods to finish at the same time, or with Match Cooking, set two baskets of separate foods to cook at the same settings. We largely had great results across this air fryer’s six cooking functions, but found a few disappointing outcomes with basics like vegetables. Considering this device’s hefty price tag, we’d expect close to perfection every time. Despite this, the Cosori Dual Blaze Twinfry 10L Air Fryer is a convenient, solid family air fryer – as long as you have the room for it. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw== (Image credit: Vic Hood) Cosori Dual Blaze Twinfry 10L Air Fryer: price and availability Price: £289.99 (about $380 / AU$560) Available in *** from This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Unavailable in US and Australia at the time of writing The Cosori Dual Blaze Twinfry 10L Air Fryer has an eye-watering price tag of £289.99 (about $380 / AU$560), putting it at the higher end of air fryer prices.

Whether that’s because of limited availability or air fryer enthusiasts snapping up stock, I’m not sure, but I found no mention of it on Cosori’s *********** and US sites.

If you’ve got limited counter space, you may find its size (accounting for the 13cm space requirement at the back) quite imposing in your kitchen. If you choose to store it away when you’re done, you’re going to need a big cupboard. The air fryer has a sleek, matte ****** design and an easy-to-use digital interface, where you can choose from one of six cooking functions and easily set the required temperature and time for its zones. The appliance’s basket is very versatile: you can use it as one large, 10-liter basket (the Grandzone), or two separate 5-liter baskets (Dual Zones) – with a divider breaking up the sections – or just use one of the 5-liter baskets. These sections are able to be controlled separately using the air fryer’s interface or via an app (which I explain more in the next section). data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw== (Image credit: Vic Hood) While the Dual Blaze TwinFry is easy to set up and use, I did have some gripes with its bulky design. For one, it makes it very frustrating to clean as, while the basket, crisper plates, divider, and included tongs are dishwasher safe, you need a pretty big dishwasher to fit that basket in. If you opt to hand wash it instead, you need to contend with its size – which I found very tricky. In addition, this bulk can make it challenging to get certain foods out of the basket/s, especially if you have two separate foods being cooked. While the tongs allowed me to easily pick up wings from one side, I had more difficulty finding the angle and device that would remove the chips from the other – without accidentally scraping the non-stick basket coating. Likewise, when I wanted to shake my roasties on one side, I accidentally shook my roasting beef ****** on the other. This air fryer definitely would have benefited from two separate baskets that can connect as one instead – and a window. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw== (Image credit: Vic Hood) Cosori Dual Blaze TwinFry 10L Air Fryer: performance Convent app compatibility Great results for most foods… …but some basics were a bit disappointing The Cosori Dual Blaze TwinFry 10-Litre Air Fryer is miles better than the manufacturer’s disappointing TurboBlaze – which I reviewed around the same time. While it doesn’t have the same number of functions, the results are (mostly) much better and it’s much more convenient. The Dual Blaze TwinFry can be paired with the VeSync app on your phone, which is easy to set up and allows you to control the time and temperature of the Grandzone and Dual Zones from your phone. While the app’s list of recipes is limited, and I wish it would give a bit more guidance on cooking times, its Sync Cooking and Match Cooking features are brilliant. With Sync Cooking, you can put one type of food in one basket and a different one in the other basket, then using the app, set each basket’s individual cooking times and temperatures. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw== (Image credit: Vic Hood) The air fryer then ensures the two baskets finish cooking at the same time, starting the one that takes longer first then automatically turning on the second when the first has its amount of cooking time left. It makes cooking a meal with different components much easier: just throw everything in, set the app, and track it from there. Match Cooking, on the other hand, lets you put different foods, with the same amount of cooking time and temperature, in each basket. Sync Cooking cut down the time of testing considerably, letting me add chicken wings to one zone and fresh fries to the other, with both finishing at the same time. The wings were crispy and succulent and my chips were crispy on the outside, but fluffy inside – perfection, with little hassle. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw== (Image credit: Vic Hood) Frozen fries, on the other hand, weren’t as successful, with smaller chips dropping through the crisper plate and the ends burning a bit on those that survived. Similarly, with the Roast setting, I found my broccoli florets had burnt ends, but my carrots worked well, and the Dehydrate setting left my oranges still pretty juicy after four hours. I largely followed the instructions of the included Quick Start Guide booklet, but it’s somewhat limited and I advise not always taking it at face value. While my broccoli was a bit disappointing, the Dual Blaze TwinFry really proved its worth when making a roast. I was able to pop potatoes for roasting in one zone and my beef ****** in the other, using Sync Cooking to ensure they finished around the same time. The beef came out to perfection, medium-rare inside but with a flavorsome crust on the outside, while my roasties were crispy on the outside but fluffy inside. Toast, too, was a breeze to make. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw== (Image credit: Vic Hood) And while the design is quite imposing, the air fryer isn’t that loud when on, clocking in around 62 decibels on average. It did mean we had to raise our voices a bit to talk, but no more than most kitchen appliances. Those with small children, or are clumsy like me, will be pleased to hear the outside of the air fryer doesn’t get too warm either, only around 25C – cool enough to touch without getting burned.

I tested all the air fryer’s various modes (including dehydrate, which I used to dry orange slices) and used all of the mobile app’s features. I cleaned the air fryer in line with the instructions provided in the manual. For more details, see how we test.
