Why does nobody talk about preheating ruining air fryer fries?
My brother told me I was wasting time by not preheating the air fryer for 5 minutes before making frozen fries, and after 2 weeks of following his advice I ended up with burnt edges and raw centers on every batch. Turns out the cold start helps them cook more evenly because the oil on the fries melts slower instead of getting blasted with heat right away. Has anyone else dumped the preheating step and gotten better results?

Oh man, "burnt edges and raw centers" hit so close to home, that's exactly what happened to me too. I ditched preheating last week and my fries actually got crispy all the way through for once.
