Serious question, my wife thinks you should always preheat an air fryer, but I read a recipe that said not to bother for frozen foods.

The recipe was for frozen french fries and claimed skipping the preheat gave a better texture. I tried it and they were crispier than usual. What's the general rule here?

Tried skipping preheat for frozen onion rings and they came out way crispier too. Some foods just work better that way.

What makes you think that's a good general rule? My fries always get soggy without a preheat, and @julia843's onion ring trick probably only works for a few specific items. You should just follow your machine's manual, it's not that hard.
