My mom swore her air fryer hack would save me time, I should have listened sooner

She told me to preheat the basket for 3 minutes before adding chicken wings, said it makes them crispier and saves cooking time by about 5 minutes. I ignored her for like 6 months because I thought it was just extra work for no reason. Finally tried it last night and honestly the skin came out way crunchier, has anyone else noticed a difference with preheating?

Preheating is a game changer for sure. I started doing it with my frozen fries and it cut the cook time by like 4 minutes and they came out way less soggy. Just gotta be careful not to burn yourself on the basket when you dump the food in lol.

Preheated my basket once and the frozen fries exploded into a greasy volcano when I dumped them in. Ended up with a hot fry stuck to my forearm and a kitchen that smelled like a fast food joint for the rest of the night. Now I just toss them in cold and add an extra minute, way less dangerous for my dumb luck.
