Shoutout to the guy who said preheat your air fryer basket

Last Tuesday I was rushing dinner after a 10 hour shift and threw frozen chicken strips in cold. They came out chewy on one side, burnt on the other. A coworker at the warehouse told me he always runs his basket empty for 3 minutes first, sounds dumb but it works. Now I do that even for veggies, and everything crisps up way more even. Has anyone else found a weird preheat trick that actually helps?

My Ninja took 4 minutes empty before I finally got the trick working, total game changer for reheating pizza.
