Debate: Should you preheat your air fryer or just toss food in cold?

I skipped preheating last night and my frozen chicken wings came out soggy on one side, but my buddy says preheating wastes electricity and dries out his veggies - what's your move when something fails like that?

Oh man I preheated once and forgot I left my garlic bread in there lol.

I mean after the soggy wing incident id just call it a win that my kitchen didn't catch fire like emmam89's garlic bread situation. Honestly maybe the air fryer just wants us to suffer either way.

Just toss them in cold and flip halfway through, works fine for my wings.

Whoa I always preheated but you might be onto something.
