Ecolution Patented Micro-Pop Microwave Popcorn Popper, Glass, Red

Product Information

Popcorn is naturally high in fibre and the healthiest way to eat it is to have it as it comes, without adding any flavourings. Many of our featured products can cook popcorn without needing to add any oil or butter. If the idea of plain popcorn doesn't appeal though, there are ways of enhancing the flavour without adding too much salt or sugar – see our section on flavouring popcorn below for more information. Can you use butter or oil in a popcorn machine?

The clever design has a lid which sits inside and rises with the popcorn and the container can collapse to just over two inches in height when not in use, meaning this is an excellent option if you’re short on space.Any part containing an electrical component can't be submerged in water so you’ll need to wipe it down separately. Often the attached bowls on air poppers or microwave options are dishwasher safe too. My family has used this popcorn maker for over 20 years, and it's as good as it was on day one," says Allison Wignall, staff writer for The Spruce Eats. "It became a staple of family reunions and birthday parties, faithfully popping batch after batch without issue. It may take slightly longer to pop than other models, but to me it is well worth the wait. And careful around the kettle, it gets pretty hot!" Yes, this durable aluminum popcorn maker and a basic stovetop pot have a very similar mechanism for making popcorn, but we did love the final popcorn's slightly toasted flavor and the popper's ability to leave no unpopped kernels behind. For an interactive, old-school experience, this is a good choice. The only potential downside is that you can't put any type of fat in the pot, even after cooking, which means more dirty dishes when transferring it into another pan or bowl to add butter or oil.

What sort of popcorn are you hoping to produce with this machine? Your choice of machine will determine the type of popcorn you can make, and you need to weigh up the benefits of tasty oil-based popcorn makers versus the healthier air-popped variety. How much space do you have in your kitchen?This machine doesn't make a lot of mess, which is good because all the parts need to be washed by hand. You can simply dump any kernels and crumbs out of the chamber and just rinse any crumbs out of the lid. The butter warmer is the only part likely to need soap, and it just needs a wipe with a sponge. It's important to note that you can't put anything but plain popcorn into this machine; seasonings can only be applied post-popping. (In other words, it's not usable for kettle corn.)

Cost: If you just plan on using the popcorn machine on the odd occasion there's no need to spend a lot of money and a cheaper option will do the job. If you’re going to be using it more often then you may need to pay a little more. A good start are the microwave versions as they tend to be cheaper than the air popper machines.

This is a pan with the addition of a rotation device. It is placed directly on the hob and, as the popcorn is heating, you turn the handle to operate the rotation device which keeps the popcorn moving so it cooks evenly. What to look for in a popcorn maker Storage: Our selected popcorn makers vary significantly with regards to the amount of space they take up. Many of the microwavable options fold down to take up little space and some smaller streamlined models still produce a good amount of popcorn in a short space of time. This will depend on the type of machine you buy. Most of the air poppers offer a simple one-touch operation. A microwave popcorn maker comes with a vented bowl to put the uncooked kernels in. The bowl is then placed directly into the microwave and cooked for the time specified by the manufacturer. If you opt for a stovetop one, it's likely you'll have to turn a handle to rotate the kernels. Are popcorn makers safe? a b c d e f "Famed moonshiner gets 18 months". Times-News. Associated Press.

Firstly, it’s more enclosed than some other models so is less likely to fire popcorn around the room. It also comes with a flip design so once it’s done the dome can be turned upside down to create a large bowl for your popcorn - this design feature also means it will take up less space as the base plate can sit inside the bowl when stored away. The bowl is dishwasher safe too so cleaning up afterwards is much less of a task.

Hamilton Beach Electric Popcorn Maker: This popcorn maker had several things going for it, including its easy setup and great-tasting results, though its popcorn texture could have been crispier. The dealbreaker was that the butter melter drips right into the piping-hot machine, causing it to burn and make acrid smoke. Satterfield, Jamie (December 13, 2010).

It can also be popped in the dishwasher after use, so it's ideal for busy families. In testing, the Stir Crazy approached perfection, leaving behind just a single unpopped kernel in one batch and none in another. Plus, it did so in less than four minutes, faster than any of the similar models we tried. Another advantage of the self-stirring format is that you can add salt and other seasonings during cooking to get distributed evenly among the popped kernels. You can also pop the corn using most any type of oil, which helps expand your flavor options. Of course, you can buy popcorn that’s ready-made but it’s often covered in an excessive amount of sugar and salt and it's not as fun as making your own. Making it yourself means you have control over what’s added to it while filling your home with that lovely, cinematic popcorn smell. Waco 20 Years Later: The ATF Raid - Dallas News | myFOXdfw.com".
