To conclude, Hacchando's frozen takoyaki can be deliciously baked in a COSORI air fryer at 200°C for 14 minutes.
This time, I used the frozen food mode with preheating.
I baked them as they were without turning them over halfway through.
It takes longer than a microwave, but the result was slightly crispy on the outside and perfectly creamy on the inside.
I tried baking frozen takoyaki in an air fryer.
I bought takoyaki made with domestic ingredients that I found at the supermarket.
It is made by Hacchando.
They are a well-known manufacturer in Fukuoka.
When I see their name in the store, the boy and the music start playing in my head.
Frozen takoyaki can be eaten immediately if you heat it in the microwave.
That is fine, but I want the outside to be crispier.
I decided to try and see what happens if I bake them in an air fryer.
Arrange only 12 pieces with space between them
There were 24 pieces in the bag. Since that is too many, I will bake only half, which is 12 pieces.
I arranged the takoyaki in the air fryer basket with space between them.
It seems easier for the heat to circulate if you leave some space rather than packing them too tightly.
I am using the COSORI 6L model this time.
I was able to arrange 12 frozen takoyaki with space between them.
Since an air fryer cooks with hot air, it seems better to leave a little space rather than packing them in tightly for a better result.
If you want to try frozen takoyaki, fries, fried chicken, or baked sweet potatoes all at once, I think the 6L size is easy to use.
The settings are,
Frozen food
200°C
14 minutes
I preheated it before putting the takoyaki in.
I was a little hesitant about whether to turn them over halfway through, but I decided to try baking them as they were first.
After 14 minutes, the surface was a bit firm
When I opened the basket after it finished baking, the surface had a light golden brown color.
It looks a bit firmer than when heated in a microwave.
It doesn't fall apart easily even when held with tongs, and it feels like the outside has hardened slightly.
I arranged them on a plate and added takoyaki sauce and dried green seaweed.
I decided to put the mayonnaise and sauce on a small plate and dip them as I eat.
You could pour it all over the top, but it's easier to adjust the flavor if you dip them.
Just by adding the sauce and dried green seaweed, it feels a little bit like a festival.
Crispy on the outside, and just the right amount of creaminess on the inside
When I tried eating it, the outside was crispy.
It's not as intensely crunchy as deep-frying.
However, it has a light texture that is hard to achieve with just a microwave.
The inside was nicely creamy.
If I can get this result with frozen takoyaki, I am quite satisfied.
When you add sauce, it goes well with the slightly crispy exterior.
Adding a little mayonnaise gives it that familiar snack-like feel.
I will definitely do this again.
The outside is crispier than in a microwave.
If you want to eat quickly, I think a microwave is sufficient.
With an air fryer, it takes a little time, including preheating.
However, the texture of the outside improved as a result.
Unlike deep-frying, the basket hardly gets dirty.
Cleanup is easy, so you can make it without any hassle.

If you bake half of the 24-piece pack at a time, you can enjoy it twice.
For 12 pieces, it was the perfect amount for a weekend snack rather than lunch.
Since it's frozen food, preparation and cleanup are easy.
Arrange, bake, and add sauce.
That's all it takes, so it's stress-free even on the weekend.
If I see them at the supermarket again, I will definitely buy them.
There are days when I just use the microwave, but on weekends when I have time, I want to eat them cooked this way again.
Frozen takoyaki in an air fryer.
This has now entered our household snack rotation.
The air fryer I used this time is here
▶ COSORI Air Fryer 6L
I felt that frozen takoyaki goes very well with an air fryer.
■ Rakuten (Ryohin Seikatsukan)
■ Amazon
▶ Spray & Pour Oil Bottle
It is convenient to have one when you want to reduce excessive oil usage.
With a 2-way design featuring a spray and a pour spout,
this bottle is easy to use depending on the dish.
It can be used for oil, as well as soy sauce, vinegar, and more,
making daily cooking a little faster.
Here is a cooking example I actually made using the COSORI air fryer.
