My buddy in Phoenix laughed at me for preheating my air fryer, then he tried my wings
I always ran it empty for 3 minutes before cooking and he called it a waste of time, so we did two batches of wings side by side and his came out pale and soggy on the bottom. Same temp, same 20 minutes, only difference was the preheat. Now I'm wondering if that matters more for certain foods than others, like has anyone tested it with fries or fish?
