We recently purchased a Cosori 5qt airfryer. We bought the airfryer to mainly do vegetables. We followed the cooking instructions to the letter and found that all of the vegetables we cooked were crisp on the outside but hard/raw on the inside. We like our vegetables medium soft on the inside. Any advise would be appreciated.
Hi Laverne, this post has a lot of different recipes for vegetables included. What recipe did you follow and I can help out a bit more. One reason this could happen is if the basket is too crowded, but I am not sure if this was the case unless I know what vegetable you were looking to cook.
