Have you used your air fryer to dehydrate foods? What did you dehydrate? Here's the Cosori Dehydrator → amzn.to/3xmCzGo (they also have this smaller one: amzn.to/3DRwLXS) and of course, my favorite air fryer, → amzn.to/2QtgPHq
To be fair though, you can't try to dry it at that temp in an air fryer and expect good results. You need to test it at much lower temp at longer time. This test seems too skewed to give reliable results
correct this is skewed the apples in air fryer are thick ... this is just to promote the dehydrator !!! what a shame to do this to your esteemed subscribers !!!
I feel like you were a bit unfair with the air fryer because you were given the dehydrator. I think someone else mentioned in the comments that you should have turned down the air fryer to 170 and let the apples cook for six hours like the dehydrator you probably would have gotten a similar results. I’m sure that your dehydrator especially a brand new one is much better than an air fryer…but for those who do not have a dehydrator we’re hoping that the air fryer would work. 😊
I don’t think she was unfair, she was just unbiased. Given the amount of time, she was fairly generous with the airfryer but dehydrator just takes the cake, in which is fine too. Both serve their purpose but of course an actual dehydrator is better
Just a little tip I learned years ago when I got a dehydrator. You can use any lemon/lime soda instead of lemon juice (which is pretty pricey) and water to keep your apples from browning. You can use diet if you're watching your sugar.
I'm unboxing the one that I won on your Live and today I'm doing organic lemon peels for lemon powder because we use a lot of lemon zest and tomorrow I'm doing a bunch of organic shitake mushrooms to make a mushroom powder for a umami type spice additive and avocado to make avocado powder for avocado cilantro lime greek yogurt dressings. It seems that whenever I have the craving for that dressing, I never have avocados - so I'm going to experiment. And I'm not a fan of the texture of the frozen so... Then when I was shopping I got 5 lb bags of frozen organic cherries for $4 each so you know those are getting sliced and done Monday & Tuesday for snacks! I LOVE that you commented multiple times that it's so quiet since I'm using it in my office. I'll let you know! And Thanks again. You and Corsori are so amazing!
Yay Tammie! So glad you got it!!! You sound like you're having quite the adventure over there! :) I think you'll love how nice and quiet it is! Come back and let me know how it goes for you!
I have an air fryer that also dehydrates.(it's the oven style) I haven't used the dehydrator yet, but this gives me ideas. I know I love it as an airfryer.
I have a Pampered Chef airfryer and have used the dehydrator option on it for doing parsley and dill. Low temp for a few hours and worked wonderful. The way you feel about your Cosori I feel about my Pampered Chef.
I have a Presto digital dehydrator. They're ~$80 on Amazon. Things I have dehydrated: Apples-use a peeler-corer-slicer gizmo. Soak slices in lemon water to prevent the apple turning brown. I sprinkle slices with cinnamon with/without sugar before dehydration....yum! Frozen veggies-They are already blanched. Dehydrate straight from the bag still frozen...simple! I've also done jerky and fresh veggies - mushrooms, celery and carrots without blanching. Favorite snack (sounds weird) is shredded, fully cooked chicken sprinkled with bullion powder...low calorie crunchy, salty snack. Can also be added to soups and casseroles that call for cooked chicken. Dehydrated marshmallows for hot chocolate is fun too. When food is completely dry can store in air tight container. Purposeful Pantry here on YT is the queen of dehydration information. For storing dehydrated food with O2 absorbers, watch her videos. P.S. I love your videos! You are the grand Diva of air fryers. Your videos are not only fun, but I've learned a ton from you. Thanks!
I haven't tried dehydrating in my airfryer because of the amount of time needed to run it. According to my cookbook it's anywhere from 5 to 24 hours depending on what I am dehydrating. In my opinion, For the amount of electricity it would cost to run the airfryer I can just purchase what I want.
@@empoweredcooks I am not against families dehydrating things, that makes sense, but when it's just 1 person, I have a different mindset. Does that make sense?
Air fryers and dehydrators are AMAZING for people who want to effortlessly gain weight. It hyper-concentrates the calories by removing the water. Our brains are hard-wired to desire higher calorically-dense foods. Removing the water creates a stronger dopamine response - that’s what tasting good is 🤗
Cathy apples oxidize quickly when peeled or sliced. Try coating the apple slices lemon juice or lime juice. That might help the color from turning brown.
The main problem with using an oven or air fryer to dehydrate is the lowest temperature (170F) is still way too high, thus destroying the food enzymes. Dehydrators and combo units typically go as low as 90 degrees F; the internal food temp of dehydrating food needs to remain below 117 F so as not to destroy the food enzymes only to get empty sugar calories. I see that Cosori makes a couple of different combo units with a dehydrator function (Premium 5.8 Qt 12 in 1 Combo & 7 Qt 14 in 1 Large Combo Oven) in addition to air frying (and even microwaving), but living outside of the country have not been able to source the 5.8 Premium one yet... and very much would like to do so. I really want to use the low temp dehydrator setting for yogurt and kefir more than dehydration. Thanks for your reviews and demonstrations. They've been very helpful and from everything I've seen, I'd really like a Cosori unit, but may have to go with the lower quality/lower price GoWiseUSA 229256 air fryer with dehydrator, if I can't find anything else.
I have purchased a freeze food dryer. Which you can dry food and it will last 25 years . They have been taking 6-12 weeks for delivery. It is made in USA it just they are on high demand. When I finally get it and have done some food I will post again. Thank Kathy for that very interesting test Thank family too!
We are 6 weeks out and we are ready with the spot it will be put with a dedicated circuit for it to plug into. I too am getting excited to freeze dry my food.
@@goldensmammaOMG you must be so excited. It was a little harder for me. I'm in a smaller apartment and this is going to be used to start a small business. So we had to rearrange the living room a bit so that it could have it's own outlet! I'm hoping it only needs 1 outlet and not 2 dedicated. And I so would have bought the large but it needed 220 and I couldn't install that in the apt. I hope you have so much fun with yours! I'm steadily preparing.
@@tammiemonahan9644 we are getting a Havestlife it’s expensive we bought the large one and it was about $ 3500 . It needs a delicates 30 amp outlet. These food freeze dryers will run 12-18 hours . We are just preparing for any disaster as we life on the Gulf coast.
The short version is: If you want to air fry, use an air fryer. If you want to dehydrate, use a dehydrator. If you don't have a dehydrator, you can use an oven. I own both of these products and I like them a lot.
Hi Cathy!!! I enjoyed your video today. I have never dehydrated anything ever.I have this function on my AF but never tried. Also I have a dehydrater somewhere. Prob up my attic. I think I will try Apples one day. They look pretty good to me. Great video my friend!!!
OMG after your live I was looking at dehydrators to buy. NOW I am wanting one so bad! I was hoping to do it in my air fryer but your video convinced me otherwise. I volunteer with a service dog organization and it would be great for making training treats! I'll be sale stalking the Cosori!
What a great purpose for your dehydrator! I need to learn more about dog treats... my dog would probably love it if I did! :) It really produced excellent results!
I dehydrated Cara Cara oranges. They came out perfect. 170 degrees for 3 hours. I just had to reset it after every hour. I just set my timer to remind me to reset.
I am not sure what this comparison is trying to sell. The author needs to learn the basic fact that all dependent variables must be controlled in order to compare two products.
Never thought to soak the apples in lemon water first! I do slice them from the end to end (remove stem but do not core), so that I get a really pretty "star" in the middle.
You didn’t compare different machine with both same temp and time. Respectfully you don’t seem to have any real dehydrating experience to know what you are doing.
I am lucky! Thanks Susan! And YES I did pick a winner and I just updated my pinned comment. You can see her comment here: czcams.com/video/Baza4rmA2_c/video.html&lc=Ugwqo45XQD53rSF7q1R4AaABAg
Bought my Cosori dehydrator last year and love it! Did you see the new Cosori indoor smokeless grill? It sure looks tempting! thank you for your video :)
The reason the dehydrator takes six hours, is because it runs at 40C, Xiaomi's air fryer support this as min temperature, since you always set the temp to max, I've no idea if your machines can duplicate that, maybe you should have read up on what the dehydrator does so you don't look silly?
Hmmm i got my air fryer today! I mainly wanted it for dehydrating roma tomato slices. If you've never had them, your life is incomplete. Sooo...after watching this I am wondering if my air fryer is the right appliance.
At least you gave it a try, right? Still I would be curious to see your beef jerky in the dehydrator, but again, the dehydrator is built for it. Interestingly enough, Alton Brown made beef jerky in “Good Eats” with some A/C filters, a box fan & bungee cords. It actually works.
You can’t dehydrate in such a short time it’s not a fast process no matter what equipment you use the shortest time is 6-8 hours. This is not about dehydrating.
I have an oven style air fryer and have dehydrated in it.it does work,but not efficient for large portions and makes alot of noise running the air fryer for hours .
I’ve been following your channel for a little more than a year now and I just finally got the cosori air fryer last month and last night it just stopped heating up. Do you have any insight? I’ve looked it up and I haven’t had any luck. It won’t preheat or heat anything up, I think it’s the element but it’s brand new though
(Harry here) You know I never even thought about it. What a great idea... But then I'm not really a cook I leave that up to Wendy (wife) I do make a great bowl of steam though.... !
Oh that's great! Really I feel like you can dehydrate almost anything- especially if you love it as a snack! Fruits and vegetables are my typical go-to!
Hi Kathy thank you for your very helpful videos I find the 5.8 qt small and now consort has a larger one the 12 in 1….do you have any videos on it? Comparisons?
very high temps and short cook times…. the opposite of how dehydrating works in an air fryer or anywhere for that matter. mine works great, but i have an Xl pro oven
@ Fabulessly Frugal .. We just purchased the same Cosori air fryer you have. Our first 2 things we cooked gave off a bad chemical smell in the air and food, Is this going to go away ??
Hey there! I have not had this issue (I own two!) - but I recommend running a bowl of water and vinegar with a tablespoon or so of lemon juice in it for 10 min at 400˚. That should do the trick!
I been watching some of your videos thank you! But yes I been making mistakes using my instant vortex plus in Bake lol not in air fryer lol burned a couple of meals. I want to buy some accessories what do you recommend. Thanks 😊
I haven't tried the Power XL Air Fryer Steamer, but I do like keeping my appliances separate... sometimes you want to use a steamer AND an air fryer at the same time! (or pressure cooker and air fryer). Just my two cents! :)
@@empoweredcooks thank you so much it does make sense to keep them separate I think I am going to go with cosori. I was also thinking that the power XL might stop working more quickly due to the fact that you are putting water into it🤷
I have a dehydrator for dehydrating, and an air fryer for everything else. ;-) Their functions are different for a reason, I guess. For the plastic mesh trays in a dehydrator, I just use sheets of plastic canvas - it's the same thing! I just cut my canvas sheets down to size.
Too many side notes. Been watching for 8 months - getting too chatty. Too many references to technical equipment- let be you - but getting too loose!!!!! I know that is part of your charm -- but growing out of hand.
Hi 👋 Have you use a COSORI Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo 7 Quart, Up to 450℉, 14-in-1 Customizable Functions - Roast, Toast, Bake, Dehydrate, with 7 Accessories to dehydrate foods on its dehydrate setting????? I’m looking for an air fryer and this model gets my attention for its dehydrate setting😢

LOVE the pretty star!
This is the video I wanted to see but wish we used the over air fryer and see how it worked out against hat lol Thanks for your work
11:22 "it's like a smoothie inside of a fruit leather" 😂
Is it safe to leave the dehydrator running while you are out did the house?
Dehydrating apples at 300 degrees?!!🥴🥴 I'm pretty sure that's baking
You didn’t compare different machine with both same temp and time. Respectfully you don’t seem to have any real dehydrating experience to know what you are doing.
Hi Kathy!
Have you given the air fryer away yet from the replay of your live?
You are so lucky to have them send you things to review!

Yeah... my kids inhaled it!! I loved how easy it was! :)
Our airfryer has an dehydrate setting:) we make alot of dried fruit
That's awesome! What fruit is your favorite to dehydrate?
Bought my Cosori dehydrator last year and love it! Did you see the new Cosori indoor smokeless grill? It sure looks tempting! thank you for your video :)
Hey there! I did notice that new indoor grill - looks cool!
I'm thinking the oven version would do much better than the basket version anyway.
If they go lower in temp and have more room with racks, yes quite possibly!

Hi Daniel - sounds like you got a lemon! BUMMER! I 100% recommend you contact Cosori - they'll help you out! cosori.com/contact-us
Can you try drying flowers in the air fryer? I want to see if arts and craft is possible with the air fryer!
Hmm, it seems like flowers would just be way to light weight.
like i said before i love watching your children rate the outcome !
Glad you enjoy it!

I am buying a dehydrator just to make handcrafted potpourri!!
Like donuts, if the middle isn't cooking, take it out first.
(:
Potpourri is so beautiful! I was really impressed with the Cosori dehydrator! More than I thought I would be! :)
Do you have a link to the larger Cosori dehydrator?
This one? amzn.to/3RqbcHa
Needs to be at 170 for at least 3hrs.. too low time
could also lower the temp to 135 for 8hrs
My air fryer has an dehydration function.
I need serious help, I can't figure out my Corsi, someone help me
I have the dehydrating button function on my pro crisp and air fryer but what is good to dehydrate
Oh that's great! Really I feel like you can dehydrate almost anything- especially if you love it as a snack! Fruits and vegetables are my typical go-to!
Why are you not using the dehydration setting on your air fryer? My air dryer starts at 8 hours not minutes. Not a very good test.
This particular air fryer did not have a dehydration function.

Comparisons?
I do not have that one! Send me a link!
very high temps and short cook times…. the opposite of how dehydrating works in an air fryer or anywhere for that matter. mine works great, but i have an Xl pro oven
I wish you tested an air fryer with a dehydrator function vs Cosori; however, Cosori gave you the machine and sponsored you sooo, what’s the point lol
I have seen other people doing the apples in the air fryer and they got really dry and crispy, but they cut them much thinner than yours
I do prefer thicker and chewy, but maybe you really do need to go thin if you want to do it in the air fryer.
A good glove a good air fryer and a good mandoline with 6 different cut options plus the right temp and time and we are gucci 😀
Yes you can. you just want to make sure that the temperature don't go higher than 212f or 100c
Anything more than that might cause the food to brown or burn.
Yes, not all air fryers go that low. The dehydrator was so much quieter and easier to work with!

You should have set the fruit in the air fryer at 170° for four hours and six hours. Why did you wank the experiment like that?
300 degrees is way too high
How about an apples to apples comparison? Cut the apples the same thickness, use the same temperature and time. You cooked the apples.
Oh that's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that!!
I just subbed.
Like 1 Hi friend that looks delicious so nice beautiful thanks for sharing 💛💛💛💛👈👈👈🌷🌷🌷
Thank you so much!
I have a dehydrator for dehydrating, and an air fryer for everything else. ;-) Their functions are different for a reason, I guess. For the plastic mesh trays in a dehydrator, I just use sheets of plastic canvas - it's the same thing! I just cut my canvas sheets down to size.
Oh good tip, Stephanie! Thank you!
None of that stuff was anywhere near done
Hi,can you email me your temperature guideline paper thankyou,William from Belfast Northern Ireland.

Too many side notes. Been watching for 8 months - getting too chatty. Too many references to technical equipment- let be you - but getting too loose!!!!! I know that is part of your charm -- but growing out of hand.
Thanks for the feedback, Deborah. 😊
