The COSORI TWINFRY is a mid-range 9-quart air fryer, which can be sectioned off into two independent 4.5-quart baskets using the provided divider. Each ceramic-coated basket has its own heating element and fan, so you can cook two dishes at different settings. There are separate air frying, roasting, baking, broiling, reheating, and drying functions, along with a separate sync function that adjusts cooking time across both chambers so that both baskets finish cooking at the same time.
Our Verdict
The COSORI TWINFRY is a decent choice for cooking French fries. When using both halves of its cooking chamber, it can cook up an impressively large batch of fries in one go. It also cooks smaller foods like fries very quickly, so you can serve a large number of people in a hurry. Fried food quality is decent overall: a large batch of fries will come out evenly browned and crispy, with very few being burnt. That said, you might notice a fairly large number of soggy, undercooked fries. It's also worth noting that this is a bulky appliance that takes up a lot of counter space.

Preheats very quickly.
Cooks smaller foods quickly.
Most fries come out well-cooked.
Temperature oscillates drastically once setpoint is reached.
A noticeable portion of fried foods can come out undercooked.
The COSORI TWINFRY is a good option if you regularly cook proteins like chicken wings. It doesn't do the best job of circulating air throughout its cooking chamber, so a portion of foods like wings will only be browned on one side. They also lose a lot of fat while cooking and can end up dried out by the time they're done. While the unit preheats quickly, it does take a relatively long amount of time for it to cook foods with a higher moisture content. On the upside, if you don't use the included divider, its cooking chamber is quite large, and you can cook a large batch of wings all at once.

The COSORI TWINFRY delivers satisfactory overall air frying performance. Most smaller foods like fries or tater tots cook pretty evenly, but a noticeable portion is likely to end up undercooked. It's a similarly mixed bag with proteins like chicken wings, with a noticeable amount of them only being browned on one side. Proteins also lose a lot of fat by the time they're done cooking and will come out dry. That being said, this unit does offer a multitude of additional features, with a variety of different cooking modes. Its low minimum fan speed and temperature make it a good fit for tasks that don't require much heat, like proofing dough or dehydrating food.

The COSORI TWINFRY's cooking capacity is impressive. The combined capacity of both halves of its cooking chamber is sufficient for large batches of fries or even a whole fish. Dividing the cooking chamber results in far smaller, less usable cooking chambers; however, it does allow you to cook two dishes simultaneously.

The COSORI TWINFRY's cooking speed is good. It preheats very fast, allowing you to put the food in the cooking chamber soon after setting your desired temperature. While it cooks smaller foods like fries quite quickly, it does take quite a while for it to cook thicker proteins or foods with a high moisture content.

Popular Air Fryer Comparisons
The COSORI TWINFRY is a mid-range air fryer with a split-basket design. Rather than the Ninja DualZone Pro DZ950's true dual-basket design, the COSORI has a single large chamber that can be divided into two halves, giving you greater flexibility when it comes to cooking larger items, though it doesn't fry food quite as consistently. Meanwhile, the Ninja Foodi DZ201 has less usable cooking capacity per chamber, but maintains more consistent temperatures and cooks fries more evenly. Compared to other models within COSORI's lineup, the TWINFRY offers a large cooking area and a wide variety of cooking functions, but the COSORI Iconic or COSORI TurboBlaze are even more versatile. The TurboBlaze, for instance, has much wider fan speed range than the TWINFRY, allowing it to brown food faster and more effectively.

The Ninja DualZone Pro DZ950 is a better air fryer than the COSORI TWINFRY. The COSORI has a larger cooking area, with a single basket that can be divided into two, instead of the Ninja's separate baskets. That said, the Ninja produces more evenly browned French fries, maintains more consistent cooking temperatures, and cooks proteins like chicken wings even faster.
The Ninja Foodi DZ201 and COSORI TWINFRY each have their own advantages. The COSORI has a larger cooking chamber that can be divided into two, rather than two truly distinct cooking baskets, making it a better option if you frequently cook larger items like a whole fish or chicken in your air fryer. That said, the Ninja is noticeably more compact, and it maintains a more stable temperature once the setpoint is reached, promoting more even cooking.
The Ninja DualZone DZ801 and COSORI TWINFRY each have their own advantages. The COSORI has a larger, more usable cooking chamber and a wider fan speed range. It also does a better job of evenly cooking proteins like chicken wings than the Ninja, with fewer coming out un-crisped or only crisped on a single side. However, the Ninja produces more evenly cooked French fries, cooks food faster, and does a better job of maintaining your desired temperature.
Test Results
This unit has an impressively large overall cooking area. Removing the divider gives you enough room to spread out a bag of frozen French fries or even a whole fish. That said, when using the divider to section off both cooking chambers, space is pretty limited and might not provide enough room for food to be spread over a single layer, resulting in less consistent cooking quality.
The crisper plates are coated in ceramic, which could be a selling point if you have concerns about the use of PTFE in cookware. The flip side of ceramic coating is that the surface isn't quite as easy to clean.
The COSORI TWINFRY has an impressively large cooking chamber, with over 9 quarts of total capacity, enough to feed four to five people. Unlike the Ninja DualZone Pro DZ950, this unit has a single large cooking chamber with a divider that you can slot in for cooking smaller batches of food.
This air fryer is impressively versatile. For an air fryer, it's particularly well-suited to tasks that require a more delicate touch, like reheating food, proofing dough, or dehydrating foods. Both its minimum fan speed and temperature are quite low, which can prevent it from drying out leftovers or baked goods. Its broil setting gets very hot, but its somewhat low maximum fan speed can keep food from browning as fast as it would in an air fryer with a higher max fan speed.
There are six different cooking modes, with different cook time and temperature ranges:
- Air Fry: 250 °F–400 °F, max cook time of 60 minutes
- Roast: 250 °F–400 °F, max cook time of 240 minutes
- Bake: 175 °F–400 °F, max cook time of 240 minutes
- Broil: 355 °F–465 °F, max cook time of 60 minutes
- Reheat: 95 °F–400 °F, max cook time of 60 minutes
- Dry: 95 °F–200 °F, max cook time of 48 hours
The TWINFRY's cooking chamber can be sectioned off into two halves, and you can set different settings across each section. The Sync function automatically compensates for differences in cook time so that food in both halves is ready at the same time, while the Match function copies the same settings across both chambers.
The COSORI TWINFRY produces satisfactory fried food quality. A good chunk of each batch of food comes out crispy and well-cooked, and very little gets burned. That said, a good portion comes out soggy and undercooked.
This air fryer does a decent job of cooking meat and poultry when using its Broil function at 465 °F. Chicken wings come out moderately crispy overall, with a little under half a batch coming out crispy on both sides. A slightly larger number are only crisped on a single side. Unfortunately, proteins like wings also lose a lot of fat and come out somewhat dry by the time they finish cooking.
Using the Air Fry mode and lowering the temperature to 400 °F results in slightly more consistent crispiness, but no real change in terms of how moist the wings turn out:
- Wings Crisped On Both Sides: 44.4%
- Wings Crisped On One Side Only: 55.6%
- Wings Not Crisped On Either Side: 0.0%
- Rendered Fat Lost: 21 g
This unit cooks decently quickly overall. It's good for getting a batch of smaller snacks like nuggets or French fries on the table quickly, but it'll take quite a while to cook and serve thicker cuts of whole proteins or denser vegetables.
This air fryer heats up very fast, so you won't have to wait very long between setting your desired temperature and placing food inside the cooking chamber.
This unit delivers decent temperature stability performance. Its high power draw enables it to recover to your desired setpoint after you add food, which is great for foods that don't require a long cook time at high temperatures. That said, temperatures can oscillate pretty dramatically around your desired setpoint, which can result in less even cooking for foods that benefit from a consistent application of heat over a longer period of time.
