Yes, I seem to remember when I was setting it up the Google home was one of
the choices. It cost is around $100 to $125.

Hi all I am blind and live alone and I find this discussion very
interesting. Are you able to use this air fryer with the Google Home since I
do not have an Alexa. Also how much does this air fryer cost? From mich
Verrier from new liskeard ontario Canada

I’m nearly positive you can. My son and I were looking at this just the
other day and his take on it was that you could likely put a tactile dot
just above or below each function. Or, if you don’t have sighted folks in
the house who will care, you could stick them directly on top of the
function. I personally used one of the little circle labels that come with
the Pen Friend, but I didn’t bother labeling it since it’s the only one on
the unit. One could certainly use them for the other various settings and
use the Pen Friend to label each one. Or, if you have a good memory, you
could use any kind of small sticker or tactile dot and simply place them
just above, below or on top of the settings themselves. This is on the
Cosori unit, by the way.
We did actually wind up in a situation where I couldn’t use the internet
to access the air fryer, and it was miserable. LOL I will probably go ahead
and label more functions on the unit itself for this very reason. We had a
pipe burst due to the winter storms that rolled through Dallas last week and
the flood in our house destroyed the modem.

That is a great question.
I suspect so, but I’m heading off to the dentist shortly but will see
what my wife and I can sort out.
I should have thought of this myself as last week, around here we lost
internet for 3 days.
However, my Sonos speakers worked so since we did not lose power, the
Fryer may have worked had we had it then as ithe in-house wi-fi seems to
have worked.
But, a good question since it would be a shame to not be able to use
it if the internet was out.

Just to play Devil’s advocate, is it possible to mark the device for
use if you lose internet service? Using the app or the Echo is fine but I
also want something I can operate manually.

Hey Kay, thanks so much for the tip! I tried telling Alexa to “start
air fryer,” but it didn’t work. I’ll try telling it to “”resume” next time.
:-) And yes, even though my husband had no warning before I bought the
thing, he is using it to air fry just about everything now. LOL It’s
fantastic.

Hey Jenny,
If you have an echo or dot and you have it connected to the air
fryer, you can tell it to resume the air fryer after you have the recipe
programmed in and even though you haven't started it yet, it will start the
fryer. We have Highmarks just below all of the buttons, but we rarely use
them. I love that air fryer.

Hi Richard,
Wow, I actually have one of these air fryers myself, having just
purchased it within the past couple of weeks, and I still loved your review.
LOL I’ll just say that my family and I use ours pretty much every day. We
have cooked a wide variety of things in it so far, cinnamon rolls, biscuits,
pork chops, chicken tenders and nuggets, several types of fish, pizza rolls,
etc. We have also reheated several things such as leftover pizza and even
shepherds pie. I did put a tactile dot on the start/stop button, because
apparently even if you try to start cooking through the app, which is pretty
well accessible by the way, it still requires a press of the Start button on
the touch screen. But for the most part, I use Alexa for most functions. I
loved your whole chicken recipe though, and am tempted to try it myself. LOL
I am also curious about how steak would turn out, but I digress. :-)

My wife and I have been thinking about an air fryer for a long
time. She decided to do some shopping via the internet. She came across
one called:
COSORI Smart Wi-Fi Air Fryer 5.8QT(100 Recipes), Digital
Touchscreen with 11 Cooking Presets for Air Frying, Roasting & Keep Warm
,Preheat & Shake Remind, Works with Alexa & Google Assistant,1700W
It is $107.99 at amazon.
The user guide is a fully accessible pdf that you can download
from the Cosori web site.
The setup could probably be done with the app without sighted
assistance because if you have the app open when you first plug it in, you
can select add a device, pick your model from the list and it walks you
through connecting it to your Wi-Fi network.
It even noticed we have an eligible Alexa device and connected
it.
From a blindness perspective, the iOS app could use some
adjustments, so I decided to do my first experiment, using Alexa, which
worked well.
Before your first use, you remove all tags, remove the basket,
wash the basket and the pan that the basket sits in, wipe off the surfaces
of the air fryer inside and out. After drying the washed basket, insert it
again into the air fryer.
I told Alexa, to preheat the Cosori at 400 degrees for 5
minutes. It did.
The air fryer is not any noisier than our microwave oven.
After 5 minutes, it beeped.
You pull out the basket and set it on a heat resistant surface
and let cool for at least 5 minutes.
Then, you put it back in and tell Alexa you want to cook a
steak for 5 minutes at 400 degrees. (leave the basket empty, this is just a
test.)
When it is done, remove the basket and again set it on a heat
resistant surface and let it cool for 10 to 30 minutes.
It did not take 10 minutes to cool.
You are then ready to cook your first dish. we decided to
cook bacon.
Note, I let my wife put the bacon in the hot pan as I haven't
gotten my silicone gloves yet.
We use thick sliced apple wood smoked Hempler bacon.
You preheat it to 320 degrees for five minutes.
Remove the basket and place the bacon in the basket with at
least 1/4 inch of space between the pieces. 6 slices fit with 5
left-to-right and one vertical.
There is a bacon preset that cooks for 6 minutes at 320
degrees, we ended up doing 8 minutes which had it done, but not burnt, and
there was very little grease.
(interesting factoid: bacon fat’s smoking temperature is 374
degrees. So keeping it at a lower temperature reduces the smoke.)
We are hooked. Tonight, we did a whole roasted chicken.
It does not have a rotisserie attachment, so you cook it in
the basket and flip it half way through.
It says a 5 to 6 pound chicken will take one hour at 320
degrees.
Our chicken was a little over 5 pounds.
I used a herb and brown sugar dry-brined that is from the Once
Upon A chef web site that was designed for a 12-14 pound turkey. I cut the
recipe in half.
You do not need to preheat the air fryer for the whole
chicken.
You put it in the basket and either set it for 1 hour at 320
degrees or tell Alexa to cook for 1 hour at 320 degrees.
Half way through, you pause the cooking and flip the chicken
over.
After it is done, you let it set for 15 minutes.
Let me just say that I will never use the regular oven for a
whole chicken again!
It was perfect. Very moist and the skin was quite crispy, but
not burnt.
When my gloves arrive, I will be able to do the whole process
indepentently with Alexa.
Happy eating,
Richard
