      A lot of them do in the oven. They’re way better that way.

        I think an air fryer has distorted my perception of cooking times, heh.

            Remember when it was called “warming”? Ya know, for centuries prior? Yeah… right up there with “prepurchase”. In that vein, if buying isn’t owning, why would “food” be lawfully required to be, I dunno, edible? 💁🏼‍♂️

                “Preheat” is a bullshit marketing word we’ve all blithely swallowed and memed. Much like “prepurchase”, “expiration date”, etc. ¿Claro?

                  How is “preheat” a marketing word? Every time I’m preheat the oven, I won’t go “suddenly I feel an overwhelming urge to go buy a new oven.”

                  If I’m shopping for an oven for whatever reason, I don’t go “Oooh, this one has a preheat function!”

                  It’s literally the word that I’ve used my entire life to describe the stage between turning on the oven and it reaching the set temperature. Language evolves, deal with it.

                  I’ve never heard of “prepurchase,” what does that even mean? Like a free demo or something?

                  Expiration dates are approximate at best and occasionally only there to avoid liability, but I wouldn’t say it’s a “marketing thing.” More like a “regulatory thing.”

                  What’s claro is that you seem to be bent out of shape over nothing, for the love of being miserable.

        Air frying.

        450F ~10 minutes is a lot already. 20 would turn nuggets into black crumbs, heh.

            Way shorter than what the instructions say, for pretty much anything.

            As long as it says to, ±1-2 minutes…

            turning halfway through, of course

      to make them delicious, yes.
      Also maybe you need less time if you’re only making 4 in an air fryer, but us sane people make 8.

      That’s the joke. You don’t have to cook them because it’s mechanically reclaimed mulch and probably already sterilised.
