My sister swore I didn't need to preheat my air fryer, and she was dead wrong
My sister Lisa has been using an air fryer for like 3 years, so when I got mine last month I asked her for tips. She told me not to bother preheating because it "saves time and cooks the same." So I tried making frozen chicken wings at 400 degrees for 18 minutes without preheating, and they came out soggy on one side and almost burnt on the other. I tried it again with a 3 minute preheat and they were perfectly crispy all over. Has anyone else found that preheating makes a huge difference for frozen stuff?

Preheating's a total game changer for frozen stuff.

3 minute preheat makes a huge difference for frozen wings, trust me.

Honestly that sounds about right, people always skip little prep steps and act surprised when things don't turn out well. It's just like not letting a pan heat up before searing meat, same concept applies here.
