Unpopular take: stop preheating your air fryer, its a waste of time
I read a thread last week where everyone swore preheating was essential for crispy results. I run a small electrical shop so I know a bit about how heating elements work. My unit hits temp in under 90 seconds, that barely matters for a 15 minute cook. I tested wings twice with and without preheat, same crisp level, same internal temp at 375. The only difference was my kitchen stayed cooler and I saved about 5 minutes per batch. Has anyone else tried skipping preheat and noticed zero difference?

Man, I get where you're coming from, it's frustrating when people act like there's only one right way to do things. Your test sounds solid, and saving time and keeping the kitchen cooler seems like a win to me.
