It’s no secret that an air fryer can save a busy weeknight. Instead of waiting for an oven to preheat, dousing breaded chicken or diced potatoes in a scary amount of oil to ensure they crisp up, and baking said ingredients for half an hour or more, you can make dinner in a third of the time — and using a third of the oil — using an air fryer.
Since news came out almost a year ago that cancer-causing flame retardants were found in black plastic utensils and food storage containers, some companies have started making glass air fryers, like the Ninja Crispi. This is a great solution, but it comes with its own concerns about durability and longevity. Cosori took a different approach with its new Iconic Air Fryer.

The stainless steel body is sleek-looking and tough, while the touchscreen on top is tempered glass for style. Additionally, the basket is lined with a ceramic coating that’s both nonstick and free of PFAS and BPA, according to the brand. Like the TurboBlaze air fryer, which is one of our favorite air fryer models, the Iconic is also equipped with five fan speeds and a temperature range of 90°F to 450°F. After use, you can even pop the basket and the crisper plate in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.
Clearly, there’s a lot to love about this air fryer. It incorporates the best parts of the TurboBlaze but minimizes exposure to plastic thanks to its stainless steel body. While the reduction in plastic is definitely something to applaud, one of the most exciting features is its compatibility with the VeSync app. Not only does it include guided recipes, but you can also sync the app to your air fryer to control bake times and temperatures. Whether you’re proofing bread, roasting chicken, baking muffins, drying fruit, air-frying potatoes, or simply reheating a dish you made yesterday, you’ll love having the ability to monitor the progress of your food from afar with the app.
Now that Cosori dropped this sleek stainless steel air fryer, we’re excited to get rid of our outdated black plastic models. It looks great, cooks efficiently, and even has a 5-year limited warranty if something breaks.
