Showerthought: I preheated my air fryer for 5 mins for 8 months and then read the manual
So I was at my sister's place in Omaha last weekend and she just tossed frozen wings straight in, no wait. I almost said something, then looked at the manual for her model and realized mine says preheating is optional too. For 8 months I've been burning 5 minutes of time and a bit of power on nothing, and my wings come out the same either way. Now I'm torn. One side of me says preheating gives you a steady start and crispier skin on things like fries. The other side says the basket and coil heat up fast enough that it's just habit and wasted time. I tested it twice this week with the same bag of frozen fries and honestly could not taste a difference. Has anyone actually measured cook times with and without preheat, or are we all just copying each other here?
