I am finding that it really depends on the food, whether you need to preheat. In pan cooking, for a steak you preheat and get the pan really hot, because you want to sear the outside of the steak so it will taste good and be juicy on the inside. For eggs, not so much. In oven cooking, you preheat for biscuits or other baked breads, preheating is important. But for a casserole that takes 45-60 minutes to cook, you can put the food in and let it come up to temperature with the oven, so no preheating is necessary. So for the air fryer, I think the same principles apply. For bacon maybe preheating helps. For other foods, you can add minutes to cooking time and sometimes you won’t even have to do that. Good testing, Doug!
If you time it preheat it’s not for five minutes it’s only a minute
Good just purchased a Insta Vortex yesterday!!!
Boils down to preheat if you want. If there was a notable difference in TASTE it may be worth a discussion. Seems there in not.
The only reason I got it vs Cosari is dehydrator
I have the Vortex and never preheat and the turn-out is always great!!
Love to see another cook off between them 2 air fryers, I'm swing to cosori… What are other people's opinion ? I believe the cosori may have more air flow as basket in basket 🤔
If you're putting on spices and salt and pepper and doing all your seasoning, isn't that pre-seasoning? Or do we not preseason now? I mean at what point is it stupid? You don't just walk into your refrigerator, take out a package of something, throw it in an air fryer, and walk away. You do have to open the package. You do have to do some prep work. When I preheat the thing what is the big damn deal in this I don't get it? You don't have five minutes? If you've done all the spices to salt pepper seasoning open the package, throw it away for packaging, got everything set up. Five minutes done. Your life goes on..
Sometimes I preheat and sometimes I don’t. I agree that it doesn’t make much difference..
I love the sound of u crunching on the fries lol
You made me hungry. I just bought a vortex air fryer.
It's recommended that you should preheat all the time with all Air Fryers. I always pre heat when I'm prepping my food.
Um, Doug sir, I’m hungry now. What time is dinner again??🤤
Do you put the time according to the directions on bag of fries?
Strongly considering the Instant Vortex 6 qt air fryer.
Although I've read about some issues with chipping and peeling.
Is it just user error, or a legit manufacturer defect ?
I love my Instant Vortex Mini Air Fryer. It was a gift for Christmas & I have made single serve lasagnas, single serve meatloaves, shepherds pies and stuck them in the freezer for reheating when I'm in a hurry. I bought tiny foil pans and cook in those so it makes clean up a breeze and can be heated in the same pans when I am ready to eat. I also got The Instant Coffee pot for Christmas & love it as well.
Well if you have a great estimation of time that you can be sure of then you don't have to preheat because you become your own imbedded timer and then you don't have to preheat because you have made up for any time lost.
I preferred the preheat… Enjoyed your comparison…4-5 mins isn't that big of a deal…For me anyways
My question is what is so important about the 5 minutes that you're worried about losing?
Just about every air fryer recommends to pre heat…you have to pre heat an oven, you have to pre heat a traditional fryer…why wouldn't you have to or want to pre heat an air fryer?
I habs a VORTEX by INSTANT POT. When preheating I can hear when the element reaches temperature as the power cuts off to heating. There are so many amps drawn from household current that it causes a flicker in the kitchen, ever so slight. Preheat only takes a few seconds, 45 seconds as Doug says.
I just bought this vortex today. Im glad I ran across this video. Because I wanted the cosori after always seeing Mz Brazell using it but the store only had it online so I got the instant air fryer. Do you have any problems with the basket sticking and hard to come clean. This was the last issue I had with an air fryer.
Fun you say. More like this review Pointless !
The preheat is maybe three minutes Max. I don’t mind the wait, I love the results!!
Why is this even a video? .. you do what the manufacturer tells you whats 3 mins out of your time ? I don't get it
Preheat 3 mins. Big deal, does it really matter that much?
