Revolutionary Air Frying Technology
The COS-58AFAKSS uses advanced rapid air circulation technology that surrounds food with superheated air moving at high speeds, creating the Maillard reaction that produces crispy exteriors while keeping interiors tender and juicy.
Rapid air circulation creates convection currents that cook food evenly from all angles, eliminating the need to flip or turn items during cooking while ensuring consistent browning and crisping across all surfaces.
High-speed air movement at temperatures up to 400°F creates the same chemical reactions as traditional frying but without submerging food in oil. This process achieves similar textures and flavors with dramatically reduced fat content.
Even heat distribution ensures consistent cooking results throughout the food basket, preventing the hot spots and uneven cooking that can occur with other cooking methods. Every piece cooks at the same rate for uniform results.
Moisture removal through the circulating hot air creates the crispy exteriors that make air-fried foods so appealing while preserving the natural moisture inside foods for optimal texture contrast.
Oil reduction of up to 80% compared to traditional frying methods means you can enjoy crispy foods with significantly fewer calories and less fat while maintaining the satisfying textures and flavors you crave.
