I finally stopped preheating my air fryer and my frozen fries came out better
I used to always hit that preheat button for 3 minutes like the manual says, and my fries kept coming out dry on the outside and cold in the middle. Then a coworker told me she never preheats hers and just adds 2 extra minutes to the cook time. Tried it with a batch of Ore-Ida crinkle cuts at 400 degrees and they were crispy all the way through for the first time. Does anyone else skip the preheat, or is it just certain foods where it matters?
