Want to take your air frying game to the next level? Preheating your air fryer is the secret weapon for achieving that perfectly crispy texture we all crave! While not *every* recipe requires it, preheating ensures consistent cooking temperatures and prevents food from sticking. Think of it like preheating your oven – it gives you a head start on even cooking.
So, how do you actually preheat an air fryer? It's simple! Most air fryers have a dedicated preheat button. If yours does, just press it! If not, don't worry. Set your air fryer to the temperature the recipe calls for, and let it run empty for 3-5 minutes. That’s it! A quick and easy step that makes all the difference. Check your air fryer's manual for specific instructions, as times may vary slightly. Get ready for deliciously crispy results every time!
