Do you really preheat your air fryer or just shove food in?

I keep seeing folks skip preheating and then complain about soggy fries, but my $30 Cosori heats up so fast I never bothered until last week when I timed a batch at 10 minutes vs 12 with no warm-up. Which side are you on, does the extra 2 minutes actually matter for texture or is it all hype?

The extra two minutes is like brushing your teeth before the dentist visit, it feels pointless until you skip it and notice the difference. I have noticed people cut corners on the small prep steps in cooking and everything else, then blame the tool or the recipe when results fall short. Soggy fries are just the food version of that same impatience showing up on your plate.
