How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a large stainless-steel crisping basket that drops into a COSORI 32-quart air fryer toaster oven combo and lets you cook a full tray of wings without flipping, choose GWY Air Fryer Basket; if you need a smaller nonstick grill plate that fits the COSORI 6.8-quart basket-style air fryer and lifts out by a handle for easy cleaning, choose ALJ Air Fryer Grill.
• GWY Air Fryer Basket — biggest strength: a big 14.1" x 11.8" stainless-steel mesh basket built for the COSORI 32Qt air fryer toaster oven combo, with 360° heat circulation so food crisps without turning.
• GWY Air Fryer Basket — biggest trade-off: stainless steel needs a preheat step before first use (300°F for 10 minutes), and it must be handled with care when cleaning — no abrasive cloths or metal scouring balls.
• ALJ Air Fryer Grill — biggest strength: a nonstick carbon-steel grill plate with a double-layer coating and a handle, sized around 9.3 x 9.3 inches for the COSORI 6.8QT air fryer.
• ALJ Air Fryer Grill — biggest trade-off: it only fits the 6.8QT basket-style air fryer, and its four feet need adjusting to sit snugly — it won't work in a large toaster-oven combo.
• Who each pick is for: GWY for owners of the big COSORI oven combo who want maximum tray area; ALJ for owners of the compact COSORI 6.8QT air fryer who want a lift-out nonstick grate.
The GWY Air Fryer Basket is a replacement accessory, not a standalone appliance. It's designed specifically for the COSORI CS130-CFH, CS130-AO 13-in-1, and CO130-AO 12-in-1 32-quart air fryer toaster oven combos, and the manufacturer notes it can also work with other air fryer toaster ovens of the right size. The basket measures 14.1 x 11.8 x 1.18 inches, so it's a full-width tray meant to slide into a large cavity — not a small round basket.
What it does best is airflow. The mesh design sits above the tray so heat surrounds the food from all sides, which is the whole point of air frying. In practice that means you can load up chicken wings, french fries, or a pile of vegetables and let the 360° circulation do the work instead of standing there flipping pieces every few minutes. The company frames it as versatile enough for grilling, baking, and frying, which matches the toaster-oven-combo format it's made for.
It's built from food-grade stainless steel, BPA-free, non-toxic and tasteless, and stated to meet FDA standards — a reasonable priority if you're cooking for a family and want to avoid coated surfaces over time. It's dishwasher safe and the manufacturer says it resists deformation. One important detail: because of how the stainless steel behaves, you're told to preheat the empty basket at 300°F for 10 minutes before first use, and skipping that step can cause warping or bending that shortens its life. Clean it gently — no rough abrasive pads or metal balls.
Buy it if you own the COSORI 32Qt oven combo and want a large stainless basket that handles big batches. Skip it if you have a small basket-style air fryer, or you want zero setup fuss — the preheat step and careful cleaning are real obligations.
The ALJ Air Fryer Grill is the compact counterpart. It's a crisper tray, grill pan, and grate rolled into one square plate sized at roughly 9.3 x 9.3 inches, made for the COSORI 6.8QT air fryer. If your air fryer is the pull-out-basket type rather than a toaster-oven combo, this is the shape you're shopping for.
The material story is different here. Instead of bare stainless steel, ALJ uses premium food-grade carbon steel with a double-layer nonstick coating, stated to meet FDA standards and be BPA-free, non-toxic and tasteless. The coating is described as resistant to flaking and high-temperature resistant for durability. The practical upside of that coating is release: food lifts off, and cleanup is quick. There's also a handle, which sounds minor until you've tried fishing a hot grate out of a deep basket with tongs.
ALJ includes a few thoughtful extras in the box: four silicone rubber feet that install on the grate, plus a kitchen nonstick cleaning cloth. The feet matter because the tray's four legs are adjustable — the instructions tell you to tune their tightness so the plate sits properly in your specific air fryer. That's a small bit of fiddling, but it means the fit isn't left to chance.
Buy it if you own the COSORI 6.8QT air fryer and want a nonstick lift-out grate for crisping smaller portions. Skip it if you have a large toaster-oven combo — it simply won't span that cavity — or you prefer uncoated metal and don't mind a seasoning-style surface.
• Best for large-batch cooking → GWY Air Fryer Basket. At 14.1 x 11.8 inches it covers far more tray area than the roughly 9.3 x 9.3-inch ALJ plate.
• Best for compact 6.8QT air fryers → ALJ Air Fryer Grill. It's purpose-built for that machine; the GWY basket is built for the 32Qt combo.
• Best for easy release and fast cleanup → ALJ Air Fryer Grill. The double-layer nonstick coating and handle make removal and washing simpler.
• Best for an uncoated, bare-metal cooking surface → GWY Air Fryer Basket. Food-grade stainless steel, no coating to worry about wearing through.
• Best for airflow-driven crisping without flipping → GWY Air Fryer Basket. The mesh design surrounds food with heat from all sides.
• Best for out-of-the-box convenience → ALJ Air Fryer Grill. It arrives with silicone feet and a cleaning cloth and needs no preheat ritual.
• Best for households cooking big family portions → GWY Air Fryer Basket. More surface area means more wings, fries, or veggies per run.
• Best for small households or single servings → ALJ Air Fryer Grill. A 9.3-inch grate is plenty for one or two people.
In my opinion, the decision comes down to which COSORI you own, not which accessory is "better" in a vacuum. If you have the 32Qt air fryer toaster oven combo, I'd buy the GWY Air Fryer Basket — the tray area and mesh airflow are exactly what that big oven is for, and the preheat step is a one-time habit worth accepting. If you have the COSORI 6.8QT basket air fryer, I'd buy the ALJ Air Fryer Grill — the nonstick coating, handle, and included silicone feet make it the more convenient daily accessory for that machine. Match the accessory to your appliance and you won't regret either.
