My air fryer can only be set in 5 degree increments.
I guess I’m screwed.

Burn em or get food poisoning. Your choice.

I erred on the side of going higher and went with 360. The bag said 9-12 minutes and they weren’t nearly crispy enough to my liking at 12 minutes.

356 degrees Fahrenheit equals 180 degrees Celsius.
So, the question is why in the hell are you eating commie tater tots, especially with the 4th coming up?

They were Wal Mart store brand. I suspected there might have been some stupid Celsius tomfoolery at play here, though.

The problem I have is the tots are plenty oily on their own, on the surface, but still stick. I still have to use spray oil to keep them from sticking.

Set it to 710 degrees and they'll be cooked in a little more than half the time.

I thought the whole point of an air fryer was that it didn't have to be preheated?
I have an air fryer setting on my oven but i never use it. Mainly because i don't understand how air frying works. If i put frozen nuggets in a cold oven, for 350 for 6 minutes, how does that cook the food properly?

It takes like a minute versus say 10 or so for the regular oven. It doesn’t make much appreciable difference if you do or don’t do it, I find.

We have a smaller countertop one, and it takes a very short time to preheat. It has a temp dial and a timer. I just set the timer to the shortest time to get it to turn on, which is like 3 minutes, and after that I pull the tray and put my food in. Honestly I don't use it often because I like cooking, but for quick stuff like nuggets or tots for the kids, it is great.

Air fryer is simply convection oven. You have a fan in your oven that circulates air.
Restaurants always use convention ovens. Most toaster ovens can airfry too. It's really just a marketing name. Older ovens call it convection or "speed bake " newer call it air fry. .

I never preheat mine for anything. Works just fine.

That's what i always thought. My oven, however, has a conventional, convection, and air fry setting.
