Unpopular opinion: my cousin told me to never preheat my air fryer and I think she was dead wrong
She said preheating just wastes time and dries out food, but after I tried her way with frozen chicken tenders they came out soggy vs my usual crispy results so who’s actually right here, has anyone else tested this?

Preheating is totally the way to go for crispy food, hands down.

A buddy of mine tried skipping the preheat on his air fryer once with frozen fish sticks and ended up with a sad, greasy mess. He compared it to cooking bacon in a cold pan, it just doesn't get that instant sizzle that locks in the crunch. I'll stick with preheating, especially for frozen stuff, it makes a real difference.
