Default what's the best way to defog the windshield without using AC?

ahh winter is upon us. i recently inherited a beater, but unfortunately, it has no AC. it's cold, and it's been raining hard lately too. so anyways, what's the best way to defog the windshield while it's raining outside? hot/warm air? cold air? or should i just hold my breath?

some oberservations:
i noticed that hot/warm air will defog the front a bit, but the side windows become fogged up. and when i use cold air, the front gets all fogged up while the side windows get clearer. the best results so far are to have my defogger on as soon as i start the car and have it on consistently. anyhoo, does anyone have better suggestions?

Vent open. The interior won't warm up as quickly, but it should fog up less as well.

Also keep a small towel handy in the car
