Most air fryers still need to preheat for a few minutes for best results.

Also some ovens now have an air fryer setting.

I have owned several air fryers. This is not true of any of them.

I've also owned a few different brands and it is true for most of them. They even say in the instructions to preheat for 1-5 minutes depending on the brand.

Thank you for your anecdotal evidence. It's also not hard to just Google and see that you are wrong. Trying doing that next time before you look like a fucking dumbass.

The instructions may recommend preheating, but with the two air fryers that I've had in my life, for both of them I found myself taking off last minute or two because it tends to overcook. Doesn't matter if it's anecdotal, directions are words on paper and they can't understand the reality of the rules they set.

The people who write directions aren't thinking of use, they're thinking of legal consequences. Any company that makes an air fryer would rather have you burn your food than eat it undercooked.

Not really. 9 times out of 10 a recipe will give a minute range. Like 9-10 or 17-19 minutes. Very rarely will a recipe say do exactly x minutes.

Preheating isn't mandatory, hell it's not even mandatory on an oven, it just provides best results and consistent results. If you put something in there that requires 15-18 minutes. You either can put it in cold and do around 17 or 18 minutes, or you can preheat for a minute or two and do 15 minutes.

The fact people are arguing that preheating doesn't do anything is the stupidest fucking argument I've ever heard. It's simple physics. An air fryer is not instantly at cooking temperatures.
