An old cook told me preheating the air fryer was optional. That was a lie.
I skipped preheating for 6 months because I thought it saved time. Last week, I tried preheating for 3 minutes before putting in frozen chicken wings, and they came out actually crispy instead of soggy. Has anyone else found that one simple step makes or breaks their results?

Ditch the preheat and you're basically just steaming your food for the first few minutes. That's why your wings come out sad and rubbery instead of crunchy. I learned that the hard way too after a year of wondering why my fries always sucked. Now I give it a solid 3-5 minute warm up before anything goes in. It's not about saving time, it's about getting that hot air moving right from the start. Trust the process on this one.
