My mind changed on preheating after a dinner party fail

I used to skip preheating my air fryer all the time. But last Saturday, I had friends over for wings and they came out uneven and kinda soggy on one side. My buddy Mike watched me throw them in cold and said "you gotta let it preheat, man, it's like a real oven." So I tried it next batch with a full 3 minute warm up and the difference was night and day... crispy all over. Has anyone else noticed a big change when they actually preheat?

Did you ever have that moment where you just kinda stare at the food halfway through and know it's gonna be a miss? I did the same thing with frozen egg rolls last month, tossed them in cold and ended up with a sad, chewy mess.

Oh man, is there anything worse than that moment when you know you've committed to a bad meal? I did the same thing last week with some taquitos, threw them in the microwave and they came out all soggy and sad. I mean, at that point you just gotta eat it and hope for the best, but it really bums you out.
