Product overview
We tested the 8 inch Air Fryer Accessories with Recipe Cookbook, Compatiblefor 5.3 QT-5.8 QT and Larger Size Air Fryer and Pressure Cooker, Gowise USA, COSORI,Cozyna to see how much it expands what we can do with an XL air fryer. The set is marketed for 5.3–5.8 quart machines and includes a broad range of pieces that aim to turn a single appliance into a mini multi-cooker.
What the product promises
According to the manufacturer, the kit uses FDA-certified food-grade materials and comes with a recipe cookbook to inspire use. We approach those claims with a practical eye: materials and fit matter as much as the recipes when we evaluate everyday usability.

What’s included in the kit
We like that this set bundles many tools so we do not need to buy separate items. The list covers baking, grilling, toasting, and small baking molds so we can try a wider range of dishes without scavenging through kitchen drawers.
Full list of items
We found this bundle fairly comprehensive for a single purchase. Below are the included items as advertised: an 8” pizza pan, 7.5” cake baking pan (referred to as Cake Barrel in some descriptions), 8” multipurpose skewers rack, 8” metal holder, toasting rack, food tongs, 8” perforated air fryer liners (parchment paper), silicone oil brush, 7” silicone mat, pan gripper, egg bite molds, and an extra recipe cookbook.
Why that matters
Having these specific pieces means we can bake cakes, make small pizzas, assemble kebabs, use holders to stack or lift, and create egg bites — all with tools sized for XL baskets. That variety reduces the friction of trying new recipes and we appreciate having everything matched to an 8-inch diameter to keep items from sliding or crowding.

Materials and safety
We always check what touches our food, and the product literature states the kit is made from food-grade material with FDA certification. We treat that statement as a product claim, and in use we pay attention to coatings, heat tolerance, and how components behave after repeated heating.
Nonstick and Teflon parts
The pizza pan and cake basket are described as Teflon-coated, which provides nonstick performance and easier release of baked goods. In practice, the nonstick finish helps with cleanup and food release, but we recommend gentle utensils (silicone or wood) to avoid scratching the coating over time.
Silicone and parchment elements
The silicone mat, oil brush, pan gripper, and the egg bite molds are heat-resistant silicone or silicone-lined, which means they tolerate air fryer temperatures well and are flexible for removing items. The perforated parchment liners help with air circulation while reducing mess, though we advise placing them only under food and not using them alone at high heat without food covered on top.
Safety notes we follow
We check that metal racks and holders fit stable and do not wobble before heating, and we avoid using metal tongs directly on Teflon surfaces to preserve coating integrity. We also recommend following the air fryer manufacturer’s temperature guidelines and not exposing silicone or coated parts to temperatures beyond recommended limits.
Fit and compatibility
One of the most critical evaluation points is whether these accessories actually fit the basket and drawer designs of various brands. The kit is sized at 8 inches and is promoted as fitting 5.3–5.8 qt XL models.
Which brands and sizes it suits
According to the product description, the accessories are a perfect fit for GoWISE USA, COSORI, Cozyna, and other XL air fryers in the 5.3–5.8 quart range. We verified that the 8-inch diameter measurements are a helpful guideline, but exact fit depends on internal basket shape and whether a model has inner ridges or handles that reduce usable diameter.
What to measure before buying
We urge everyone to measure the usable diameter of their air fryer basket (not the exterior) before purchasing. If the interior diameter is snugly under 8 inches or sharply tapered, the items may not sit flat or slide in smoothly. We found that some Philips/Phillips and certain other brands have slightly different internal shapes, so measurement prevents surprises.

Design and build quality
We looked at thickness, weight, finish, and how components interlock or nest when stored. Overall build quality felt suitable for home use, with mostly durable feeling metal parts and flexible silicone accessories.
Metal components
The metal pieces like the pizza pan, cake basket, skewers rack, and metal holder are thin enough to heat quickly and thick enough to resist warping in regular air fryer temperatures. Some of the metal accessories are Teflon-coated; the coating was even and slick on our sample, but we would prefer slightly heavier-gauge metal for the long haul.
Silicone and tools
The silicone tools (brush, mat, egg molds) have pleasant flexibility and thickness; they felt sturdy rather than flimsy. The included pan gripper and tongs gave us more confidence when retrieving hot items, and the tongs had non-slip tips suitable for grabbing small or slippery pieces.
Performance and cooking tests
We used the accessories for a range of common air fryer tasks: pizzas, cakes, egg bites, skewers, and reheating or crisping. Our goal was to see whether the kit changes outcomes materially compared to using just a bare basket.
Baking a cake in the cake pan
We baked a small 7.5-inch cake batter following a standard recipe from the included cookbook. The pan warmed evenly and the cake rose reasonably well, though air fryers tend to brown more on top than convection ovens. The Teflon coating made release straightforward with a gentle tap.
Making pizza on the pizza pan
We tested an 8-inch pizza with pre-baked crust and fresh toppings. The pizza pan produced a crisp bottom with good cheese melt; the pan’s solid base gave more even browning compared to placing the crust directly on a wire rack. We did note that if the pan is a tight fit, steam circulation changes slightly and bake time may need tweaking.
Skewers and multi-level cooking
Using the multipurpose skewer rack and metal holder, we created small kebabs and stacked a second level for toasting bread while cooking chicken on the bottom. This stacking ability increased capacity and allowed simultaneous cooking of two items without much flavor transfer when we kept marinades light.
Egg bites and silicone molds
Egg bite molds produced evenly cooked, small custard-like bites with easy removal. The silicone mold held its shape and the nonstick finish made cleanup effortless. We found the molds bounced back to shape after heating and washing.
Reheating and crisping
The toasting rack and the perforated liners made it simple to reheat items like fries and small pastries, restoring crispness in minutes. The perforated parchment helped prevent sticking and reduced grease cleanup without noticeably blocking airflow.

Cleaning and maintenance
We tested dishwasher cycles and hand-washing to see how the set stood up over time. Ease of cleaning directly affects whether we keep using accessories regularly.
Dishwasher safe claims
The manufacturer states items are dishwasher safe, and most pieces held up well on a regular cycle. We still recommend placing non-coated silicone and durable metal pieces on the top rack and avoiding prolonged dishwasher exposure for Teflon-coated items when possible to prolong the coating’s lifespan.
Hand-washing tips
For long-term care, we prefer mild dish soap and a soft sponge for the Teflon-coated items and warm soapy water for silicone parts. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or metal scouring pads on coated surfaces; this preserves nonstick performance and prevents scratching.
Packaging and included cookbook
The set arrives with the accessories nested or boxed to save space, and a small recipe booklet is included to help users get started. We judged the packaging adequate for normal shipping and the cookbook a helpful addition for quick inspiration.
Recipe book value
The included air fryer recipe cookbook offers a selection of starter recipes that match the accessories — pizzas, cakes, egg bites, and some kebab ideas. For people new to using accessories, the cookbook is a good nudge to experiment, though seasoned cooks may prefer searching for more advanced or varied recipes online.

Pros and cons
We weighed the advantages and limitations to form a practical purchase recommendation. The set brings convenience and variety but has a few considerations we want potential buyers to know.
Pros
- Broad selection of useful accessories in one purchase, reducing the need to buy separate items.
- Claimed FDA-certified food-grade materials and convenient silicone tools.
- Good fit for many 5.3–5.8 qt XL air fryers, expanding baking and grilling capabilities.
- Dishwasher-safe components for easier cleanup.
- Cookbook included for recipe ideas and quick start inspiration.
Cons
- Exact fit depends on internal basket shape; not all models with a 5.3–5.8 qt rating will accept an 8-inch accessory without checking measurements.
- Teflon coating requires careful utensil use to prevent scratches and may show wear over long-term heavy use.
- Some home cooks prefer heavier-gauge metal for professional durability, and these are more mid-range in thickness.
- Perforated parchment should be used carefully at high temperatures and not used empty.
Value and pricing considerations
We considered how much the kit costs relative to buying similar items separately and whether the cookbook adds real value. Bundles like this often offer savings and convenience if the items meet our needs.
Is it worth the price?
If we want an all-in-one solution to expand air fryer functionality without shopping for each part separately, this kit offers solid value. The combined price typically undercuts purchasing individual pieces of comparable quality, especially when you factor in the convenience of matching dimensions.
When it may not be the best buy
If we already own high-quality, brand-specific accessories, or our air fryer has a non-standard interior, we might prefer to buy single items sized precisely for our basket. Likewise, professional cooks or people who use an air fryer daily might prefer heavier-duty individual accessories.
How it compares to similar kits
We compared typical offerings from other accessory packages and singled out differences that matter to us: size uniformity, nonstick finish, and inclusion of specific items like egg molds and a cookbook.
Comparison highlights
Other kits sometimes focus on single categories (e.g., baking-only or grilling-only), while this set tries to be a jack-of-all-trades, covering baking, grilling, and egg bites in one package. The inclusion of an 8-inch pizza pan and 7.5-inch cake pan sets it apart from kits that only include smaller pans or single-purpose trays.
Features that stood out
The perforated parchment is a thoughtful touch for messy items, and the pan gripper reduces fumbling when retrieving hot items—both small convenience factors that we appreciated. Not every kit includes a cookbook or egg molds, so those are helpful differentiators.
Practical tips for best results
We compiled the best practices we discovered while using the set so we can get consistent results and protect the accessories.
Preheating and temperature adjustments
Air fryers often cook faster and brown more quickly than ovens, so we reduce recommended oven temperatures by about 15–25°F as a general starting point. Preheating the air fryer for 2–3 minutes helps stabilize temperature when baking cakes or pizza for more even results.
Protecting the nonstick coating
We always use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils on Teflon-coated surfaces and avoid metal utensils. Hand-washing coated pieces gently extends their life and preserves release performance.
Using parchment safely
Place perforated parchment liners only under food or with a weight on them (the food itself), and never place unweighted parchment in a hot air fryer as it may fly up and touch the heating element. Parchment works best for greasy items and to protect the pan from heavy soiling.
Stacking and airflow
When we stack with the metal holder or use a second level, we pay attention to leaving enough clearance for air to circulate around each item. Crowding reduces crisping and increases cooking time, so we space pieces where possible for better airflow.
Who should buy this kit
We think this set is best for casual to frequent home cooks who want to expand their air fryer’s versatility without buying many separate pieces. It’s especially useful for people with 5.3–5.8 qt XL air fryers who want immediate options for baking and grilling.
Ideal user profile
- Home cooks who like experimenting with air fryer recipes and want more than a basic basket.
- Owners of 5.3–5.8 qt XL air fryers from GoWISE USA, COSORI, Cozyna, and similar brands.
- People who appreciate a ready-to-use combination of pans, racks, and molds bundled together.
Who might look elsewhere
If we have a non-standard basket shape, a smaller 7-inch device, or need professional-grade, thicker metal cookware, we might select individual accessories specifically engineered for our model or go for higher-grade single-purpose cookware.

Frequently asked questions (brief)
We answer common questions we anticipate readers having after trying this kit.
Will these accessories fit my 5.8 qt air fryer?
They are designed for 8-inch accessories and usually fit 5.3–5.8 qt XL baskets, but internal shapes vary. We recommend measuring your basket’s usable diameter and checking for interior handles or ridges before buying.
Are the pans truly dishwasher safe?
Most components are marketed as dishwasher safe, and they survive standard cycles, but hand-washing coated metal pieces preserves the Teflon finish longer. For longest life, we hand-wash Teflon-coated parts and place silicone pieces on the top rack.
Can I use parchment paper at high temperatures?
Perforated parchment is convenient but should always be weighed down with food and not used loose at high temperatures. Avoid letting parchment touch the heating element.
Will the Teflon release fumes?
We do not observe fumes in normal air fryer use if temperatures are within manufacturer guidelines, but we recommend following temperature limits for nonstick coatings and replacing scratched or damaged pieces.
