Hi! I'm Cathy Yoder - "The REAL Air Fryer Queen" 👑 👩🍳
As a busy mom of 8 kids who doesn't LOVE to cook, I needed a more inspiring way to feed my family--several times a day. That's when I had an "aha moment" and discovered I could use an AIR FRYER to cook real food, using real recipes, REAL FAST.
Now, I'm on a mission to EMPOWER everyday cooks (like me) to feel more confident in the kitchen. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, every air fryer recipe here will help you make delicious (and mostly nutritious) air fryer meals in minutes.
So, if you're ready to unleash the power of your air fryer, join me here at Empowered Cooks. We'll make recipes ranging from amazing air fryer chicken to salmon, steak, veggies, baked goods, and desserts in a fraction of the time it normally takes. Are you ready? Let's go! 🚀 - Jak na to + styl
So glad I always check out customer reviews and satisfaction when ordering from Amazon. I got the Corsori and we are so happy with it. We are retired grandparents and my husband does all of our cooking due to my disability. I'm loving your vlogs so I can share them with him and get ideas of how to use it for more than frozen foods. Your family is lovely! Thanks for your 🍳😊
I'm so thankful I came across your videos Kathy! I just retired from 50 years as a short order cook and received an air fryer for Christmas. It will be fun to experiment with all the different foods and techniques. You are a 'hoot' to watch (that's something us old folks say..it's a compliment 😉) and a great teacher!! AF on!!
Kathy, Your recommendations are spot on! I donated the mini-Breville toaster-oven style AF to charity and purchased the Cosori Pro II. The transition was easy. The new AF is very fast as compared to the Breville. I find that frozen food, I’d normally heat up in the microwave, tastes better when warmed up in the air fryer.
Air-fryer novice here. Excellent video. Thank you for the primer.
Thank You! I bought a 14qt air fryer at a black Friday sale and had no idea how to use it properly. So many questions. I found your channel 1st CZcams search and you hooked my husband and I. We are now ready to get air frying!
I'm a new bachelor and I'm new to cooking in the kitchen, especially with an air fryer. Excellent video! Thanks so much for the great info! I'll be watching more of your videos. Eric👍
Again, Cathy, you’ve knocked it out of the park!!! I watched this as an “old” Cosori user and an avid Cathy-ite!!! just because I look forward to your Saturday morning videos…each time you remind me of something I’ve forgotten in my Cosori usage and today was how to convert an oven recipe to an AF recipe…so thanks again and 🥰 love to you and your family!
😂 😂 😂 I love you Gail! Thanks for consistently showing up, I appreciate you! ❤️
I just have to say you are the best air fryer-review person on whole internet. I just found you short time ago because I was thinking to buy myself first air fryer (I'm still super scared of it especially now that you even said it with smoke/ fire alarm going off T_T) but the way you present it is perfection, it's authentic and you talk of experience, easy to understand and to remember, also with the free pdf and all it's really encouraging to experience cooking in a whole new way!
What a kind comment!! I appreciate that! So glad you're finding the freebie helpful!
I highly recommend getting a Cosori air fryer. Either the regular 5.8 quart (upper heating element only) or the dual blaze (upper and lower heating elements). It’s a great little machine. 👍👍
@@empoweredcooksis this Teflon?
@@judycroteau482Love mine 😊
Fantastic video! You are THE best at explaining everything. 💜
Thank you for thinking of us, foreigners, who use Celcius instead of Farenheit :)
I've checked for many videos to jelp me make my choice on my first airfryer, and I think that - even if not in my mother tongue - your videos are way much better than what I have found so far. Many thanks, I will watch them all !
I would have loved subtitles so I could understand better, but you are understandable enough for me to get 80% of what you say.
See, you are a WORDLWILD airfryer Queen !!
Cheers from France
I've owned the Cosori model shown in the video for several years and love it! I joined the Empowered Cooks course as soon as it came out, have the tips and tricks downloads and Cathy's cookbook is tagged with post-its for my favorites. 😉 As someone who's moving to a more plant based diet, I wish there were more recipes.
Wow! Thanks for all the support! Did you see my video about vegan air fryer recipes with Ali from @PlantWhys?
Thank you very much for this video. Very good jump start
I'm super grateful for your channel. I am expecting my air fryer to arrive in 2 days and I have been researching everything I need to know beforehand. Your channel is phenomenal. 🙏
Thank you so much!
Fantastic video, I am learning so much. Thank you.
Cathy …in March of 2020 I saw your video about Airfryers on You Tube and decided I needed one. I wasn’t quite 80 at the time but Went ahead and ordered one. I got the dial model (since recalled) so I have a replacement.
The next fall I went to Florida for 4 months and missed an Airfryer so much I bought the Cosori 5 qt and love it. It’s perfect for my needs. I use it almost every day.
I have followed your instructions for basics and also look up recipes online. Thanks for all your efforts.
I am so glad to hear that!
I have no idea why this showed up in my feed, but I am so glad it did! This is EXACTLY why this mom of 6 never got an air fryer! Thank you soooo much! I will get after Thanksgiving. This was so helpful!
You are so welcome! Before Black Friday I'll have an air fryer buying guide video to help you with your shopping! ❤️
Thank you so very much for this video!
I bought my first air fryer last night and am going to take your advice and cook french fries and then going to try bratwurst too. It’s a very yummy, EASY dinner.
Thanks for the unboxing and precooking directions.
Thanks again for this video and have a happy day today! 😊
Yay! Have fun with your air fryer! ❤️
Kathy I just found your channel! I just got my air fryer. I did research before I purchased it. I came across your channel and have watch several of your videos. I watched the 4 best air fryers for 2023 that you like. The Instant Vortex Plus 6 Qt. is the one I got! Love your channel. I already ordered your cookbook, cheat sheet, and a number of items from Amazon. Thanks! Great information.
Welcome! So glad to have you here! ❤️ You're going to have so much fun! 😊
Great introduction video. I’ve had mine for a while so I’m motivated to use it thanks to you! Greetings from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, 🇨🇦!!
Glad it was helpful!
I have the dual blaze air fryer, love it, I cook bacon in it, without the tray, leaves very little bacon grease, then I crack a couple of eggs and cook them in the little bacon grease. Yum!
Wow thank you for this video. I don't have
an Air Fryer. YET!! 👍🏼 But I have been thinking and looking into them. I'm now
going to watch your video on recommendations. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great tips , thanks Kathy.
Have a fabulous day. Sherry 😊
You are so welcome!
Great video. Thank you for all the tips and information.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Cathy 😅
Just got an air fryer for Christmas.
So intimidating for a geezer. You're the first CZcams video I watched and I feel so empowered.
So glad to hear it! ❤️
Great advice and presentation, thank you! Was so excited to order and receive my new air fryer…months ago!, Haven’t even used it yet😂. Now feel so much ready to do so…but on to your next video first. 😊thanks again.
My sister just sent me the me the exact same cosori air fryer you are demonstrating on. Just came upon your channel this very day. So happy. You explain things so well, cant wait to get started 😊
Welcome Kathy!
❤️ Cathy ☺
Thank you. This is very informative.
You're very welcome!
I received my Airfryer yesterday and found your site. I watched all the videos on how to use it and what to cook. The first thing I did was cook sweet potato fries. I watched your video and they turned out delicious. Thank you for your information. Keep up the excellent work. I bought the Cosori 5.5lt Airfryer from Amazon, which is the one you use.
Welcome aboard!
May 2024, Just went to Amazon and bought this Airfryer based on this video ! also subscribed to your channel so you can teach me how to use it !
Great video :) You covered everything from new - experienced. :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks to you I bought a Cosori dual fryer, use it every day, and cook steak, filet mignion, wow awsome I don't cook my steaks on BBQ anymore. thanks again and keep the videos coming...and yes I bought your Recipes book love it
Thanks Steve! ❤️
Glad I so happened to find your channel here. I subscribed right away and even purchased the same Cosori air fryer you suggested. Should be here tomorrow and can't wait to start cooking some great recipes. Thanks for all the great info and recipes!
Thanks hun got a chef man multifunctional air fryer. Its an oven type one so this helps
Hi Cathy,
I just received my Cosor TurboBlaze Air Fryer and can't wait to use it on the regular. Thanks a bunch for all the videos you've put out showing how to utilize this fantastic kitchen gadget and great "Hacks" as well. It took me a while before investing in an air fryer because at first they seemed somewhat intimidating. I owe it all to you with the help of your cheat sheets. I'll use my air fryer with confidence. I've been watching your videos for a long while and feel confident I'll make good use out of my Cosori TB Air Fryer. You've EMPOWERED me.😂❤ Sarah 🇨🇦
Super helpful video! I'm much more comfortable using my AF.
Yay! Glad to hear it!
Thank you! I will be trying to find the free chart. I am watching loads of your videos
You are so good at this! Upgrading my air fryer now that I know how much more it can do than I ever thought. On the oil, I use a non-aerosol avocado spray that only has avocado oil and nothing else. I tried one of the misters once, and maybe it was the brand, but it didn't work well. And I felt like I should wash it whenever the oil ran out, including the tube. I just never felt I got it clean enough.
I literally just cleaned my dual ninja airfryer. It just had some residue from water drying so I just rewashed it 😊. I love using my air fryer. I can't wait to get your cookbook from Amazon on Monday I'm so excited 😊.
Enjoy!
Cathy you are awesome! I got an air
fryer found you and I was so exited and followed you. Loved the ease of making meals. No splatter on my cooktop! I followed your directions for making steaks, best ever.
Then my daughter informed me of the dangers of the Teflon coating. Even though I know to not scratch it, and use silicone utensils.
She said they have ceramic air fryers, which are safe. I would love your opinion? Could you perhaps do a review of ceramic air fryer pros & cons?
Thank you for all your wonderful cooking inspirations. 👩🍳👍😋
I would love to see an informed reply to this question. I definitely don't want to introduce more "forever chemicals" to my world.
Haven't checked in with the Queen for a while 😂 Thank You for getting me started with mine! So many dishes are tastier and hugely easy
made my first frozen chips ! thankyou.
Thanks so much ❤
You're welcome 😊
I can’t help but think KC and The Sunshine band approve of the shake reminder.
😂 😂 😂
Thanks alot
never use one before it come today and your video come up i was just looking at the air fryer not knowing or shore how to use it so thanks for the vid wish me luck🤣 thank you👍
I think I’ve never-ever seen so amazing CZcams video 😅
I’ll grab my VISA and run to shop right now 😂
Gracias
I just received the Ninja Megazone for my birthday. Excited to have one again.
I just got your cookbook today. I already started using it too. I'm making the pizza bagels on page 174 😊
Those are yummy! One of my first faves!
I love my Cosori Pro ll because it has the presets and I don't have to try to remember all the different temps for food
I wish you had talked straight to the point.
I think it’s run by Cosori on the sly to get the average viewer.
Luv your vids. Just got mine. Can’t wait to use it. Txs. AnnieB
Great video, I got your cookbook
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm a single person so I dont cook as many fries, I find for the thin french fries I takes me 7mins at 200c
If I'm cooking chips, a thicker version of fries we have in the UK it takes 3mins longer.
Although zi've had my frier a ehile I haven't bern very adventurous with it so I'm still learning.
I joined the cult, a willing participant. Best thing I ever bought, saves on my leccy bill, easy to use, cook and clean and does some badass chicken.
I’ve been Rockin and rolling w mine since rt after getting my Gourmia a year ago at Costco. I’d def recommend getting the thin 100 pack of bowl sheets at removes any need for post fry cleanup
YES those help a lot! I talk about them in this video! czcams.com/video/pebswEvXsgQ/video.html
I’m making acorn squash in my Cosori today using your instructions
Oh YUMMY! You'll love it!
Thank you so much!!!! This is a great video. I have problems with highlighting and shadow a lot. I can pick and an area and make it right but when I start painting on the things around it omg… I make a mess I loose like the orientation of where my source of light is coming from. Do it make sense? Do you have a tip. I get frustrated because I can understand the video but when am coloring I just het all confused. Thank you
@cathy can you do the review for new cosori turbo blaze air fryer.
What a great tip on the fatty food, I have been avoiding that for bacon and beef burgers (which even in a pan) there is lots of fat. So I had avoided these in the Air Fryer.
You will love bacon!!
I like to collect the grease once it is cooled (but not solid yet) into a jar or bowl to keep in the fridge. Then I use it to sauté vegetables or other things when making pasta sauces etc. It adds flavour and reuses the leftover fat in other recipes.
Hi, I saw a link about your 6 month subscription cooking classes. Can you do a video on that service? I would love to check it out. I was curious the times you offered the classes live. Thanks
I just joined your channel since I finally broke down and bought a small air fryer to test out. Thanks for the tips and cooking temp guide! Why don't you recommend putting the fryer on the stove top? I have such limited counter space. I've used a Foreman grill that way numerous times with no problem.
Very useful information. Why change all the times/temps though? If the instructions on the packs are wrong then what is going on? Thanks.
HEY CATHY, Is the CUISINART a new air fryer that just that just came out. THANK YOU
For French fries I hit the fry button and adjust the time and temperature so I get the shake reminder.
Do you know anything about the 8 qt Chefman air fryer?
Vidéo fantastique ! Vous êtes LE meilleur pour tout expliquer. Je viens de macheter une friteuse a air. Mais svp lorsque vous dites de mettre un peu de vinaigre et citron dans un bol d'eau puis remettre dans la friteuse pour 10 min, dans ce cas, on utilise quel bouton sur la friteuse pour ce faire??
When it comes to bacon, I either put a parchment(not the one with holes but the one with the sides that go up the edge of the air fryer a bit) in the basket of the Cosori or at the bottom of the Cosori to catch all the grease. When it’s done, you can either leave it till it firms up again and then dispose of it, or you can carefully pick up the parchment and dump the grease into your tin can or whatever you use to collect used grease. I have the same Cosori as Cathy in this video. Not sure if this hack would work in a dual blaze.
Thanks for the tip! I tried that in the dual blaze and the grease still got everywhere. The parchment paper seemed to thin and maybe I didn't place it good. I've also done it with putting foil at the very bottom.
I love, love my Cosori!!! And the same thing goes with parchment with the sides…I’m a lazy cook and the parchment saves most of the cleanup when it’s used…just a hint, once it cools down just wad up a layer of paper towel and allow it to soak up most of the grease which also allows you to then pick up the parchment to dispose of it…(I’m 78 so look the other way if you want but I save my bacon grease for future yummy uses!🫣)
I just ordered an air fryer. I have been watching your videos and bought the pro II Cosori. I noticed you mentioned your 'cook' chart in one of your videos and I was wondering where I can get that. Thank you very much!
You can get it at PineandPepper.co!
Could you share us your thoughts on the aluminum parts of cosori air fryer?
I have a 4 or 5 year old Ninja Foodie. I have learned lots here, but since I do not have a shake reminded on my machine, I just use my kitchen timer.
That works!
I am very new to cooking with my new air fryer. But have you ever tried the Walmart Mainstay 2.2. size. Can you give me some ideas for cooking with it
I'm thinking of getting an air fryer, but to the uninitiated it is a minefield out there. Your videos are a good starting point, I'm learning.
Great video! What type of nonstick coating does the Cosori have? Would be interested in air fryers with ceramic coating.
Cosori is not ceramic. The Paula Deen is ceramic coated though!
czcams.com/video/wv-V0xo0O44/video.html
for chicken/meat, I'd suggest trying to make sure you hit the recommended temperature, cause that should be the point where the harmful bacteria die. I believe it doesn't matter too much how quickly you get there, but you want to hit that temp at some point for health reasons (so I hear, I'm a newbie at cooking)
Great vid. What oil sprayer and instant temp thermometer do you use and recommend please?👍
Hello! I have them here! amzn.to/46VJlnB
Kathy, I understand that you don’t use oven-style air fryers, but I was wondering if you could help me adapt your recipes for this type of appliance. I don’t have a basket-style air fryer at the moment. Is there a way to modify them for oven-style air fryers?”
Is the Teflon coating in air fryers safe ??
What is your favorite air fryer at the moment. I’m looking for one and am considering a ninja combo.
Would someone mind listing the exact Cosori Kathry is demonstrating on this video? Thank you so much.
💕QUESTION💕: is it okay to put parchment paper under the grill to catch the grease, let it cook and harden, and then toss it out?
Please, to fry chips , are we to use roast or air fryer
Cathy, I am totally averse to cooking with any non-stick/ Teflon coatings (toxic chemicals get into the body and the environment). Do you have any videos of stainless steel air fryers / toaster ovens? And, any comments about your experience with them? Thanks!
Would you be able to review the new Cosori Turbo Blaze and compare it to the other Cosori models?
I've been curious about that too!
can you use non stick spay
Anyone happen to know where I might find the micro switch ejector on my Cosori CP158 AF? Just bought it. Hasn't switched on since the initial warm up and cool down rounds. So Cosori support made all the suggestions of trying new socket, unplug and plug in again etc, all of which I've done. They intended to send me a photo of said switch but that was missing from the email. Its a days work to provide all the photos, videos and pdf of invoice they require so I'll maybe tackle that tomorrow or next month!
Having seen this video though I really want to get it working! Thank you for a fabulous clear instruction session.
I have 8 quart air fryer, a 4 quart air fryer & also a smokeless grill. All from Power XL.
Which one do you find you use the most?
@empoweredcooks The 8 quart because I can cook more stuff. I use the grill for the burgers & steak because it's easier when comes to getting rid of the grease.
Oh fyi - Ninja for the win.
Bonjour,je viens de recevoir mon. Cosori 5.5l que vous .
Comment éteindre le AF .
Bouton démarrage reste bleu .?
Merci pour votre partage .❤💐
P.S. I will rewatch this when I get mine.😃
I wish I had one of them one's. A family member got me a cheaper one & it stinks xx
09:40 Δ25°F = Δ13.9°C
Thank you for your teaching . I too am nervous using the air fryer. But, as I felt the same when I first used the insta, I’m sure it will be better after a few uses. Would it help if I placed the food I want cooked, on a sheet of parchment paper?
Blessings from Houston, TX
Hello! You got this my friend! You can use parchment paper, yes. Just make sure your food holds it all the way down. You might enjoy my slower paced Air Fryer Course... you can find it at empoweredcooks.com/air-fryers-unleashed
I have a question about the Cosori Dual Blaze. If I use the presets on the left do they all use the air fry function so that both top and bottom elements are firing at full? Compared to if I got bake or broil. Thank you ❤ love the channel and videos.
How do I get your famous cheat sheet 😁for cooking times and temps
Cathy what is your the best cosori. I came across your video comparing two different the pro 2 and duel. I was looking to get the pro2 but there are ones that say cosomi pro2 smart or Gen 2. Are they all about the same for all?
Hi Cheryl! I have an air fryer buying guide video coming SOON! The one I am using here is the Pro 2 version. I also have the Dual Blaze. I like both of them MORE than I like the the Pro LE 5 quart.
These are all the air fryers I like: amzn.to/3spUPkf
How do you like the Dreo Chefmaker against the Cosori
I like them for different reasons! The ChefMaker is slightly smaller than my Cosori Pro II. I love doing solid cuts of meat in the ChefMaker!
The conversion between F and C is not perfect, om my older (2018) Cosori it go up in 5 degree (Celsius) steps, so the max temperature is 400 F in America and 205 C in Europe, so 380 F can not be set on some European air fryers so you have to go down to 190 C and then just add some extra minute if needed, or go up to 195 C and maybe cut down some minute. But I can guarantee that the things you see hare is great and that the food get yummy and I often round down on the temperature and add some extra time.
Great show, great food and great personality.
Thanks for the helpful tip!
What is your opinion on the new COSORI 6qt. Turbo Blaze. Having got burned on their recall, I'm reluctant to try anything COSORI. But I want a quality air fryer.
I haven't tested it out yet! BUT starting next week I'll be live streaming each week and will do an air fryer test and review and that one is on the list!
What do you think of the Gourmia fryer from Costco
I tested it in this video! czcams.com/video/Wm_b6ypi9vg/video.html - I think iit does a decent job. I'm not sure about longevity since I gave it away after testing it. There were a few things I didn't care for, but overall it seemed to cook just fine!
