My dad told me to stop preheating the air fryer and I'm still mad about it

Last Sunday my dad came over while I was making frozen chicken tenders (the Tyson brand, nothing fancy) and he watched me preheat my air fryer for 3 minutes like I always do. He just shook his head and said 'you're wasting electricity, just throw them in cold and add a minute.' I tried it with a batch of french fries yesterday and honestly they came out almost the same. Has anyone else tested this theory or am I just being stubborn about my routine?

That "add a minute" advice is actually legit for most frozen stuff. I tested it with fries and nuggets and couldn't tell the difference. You're just stubborn about your routine like the rest of us.

Wait, you actually ran a side-by-side test with fries and nuggets... that's more effort than most of us put into dinner, honestly. I've been telling myself that extra minute thing is just for people who don't care about their food, but now I'm wondering if I've been the stubborn one all along. Maybe I'll try it on my next bag of frozen popcorn chicken, see if it really makes that much difference...
