kariannbradshaw says "great plain popcorn popper" about Presto Microwave Popcorn Popper - PowerPop Multi-Popper

kariannbradshaw — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:45:06 GMT

Presto microwave popcorn popper: great item! pops MOST of the kernels, the ones it doesn't pop you can leave in the bottom and re-pop to finish them off although it tells you not to. The only downside to it is that you can't put butter in it to get a good buttery taste. you have to melt butter separately and pour it over top if you want it. ...

jagreen says "Great popcorn, little waste, no microwave after-taste." about West Bend Stir Crazy - Popcorn Popper

jagreen — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 18:35:21 GMT

The West Bend Stir Crazy popcorn popper is the best popper ever! This popper makes 6 quarts of popped corn in about 6 - 8 minutes. I am not a fan of microwave popcorn because it always seems to have an after-taste. Air popped corn always seemed dry and had a Styrofoam-like texture to it. The Stir Crazy popper makes light and fluffy popcorn. It has a nonstick surface and a wire that spins in the bottom which helps prevent burning. I have been using this popper for the past 12 years and have never burned one batch. With the nonstick surface, clean-up is easy. As a true popcorn lover, I highly recommend this product to other popcorn lovers....

mtaylor82569 says "Presto PowerPop tastes more like popping it on the stove!" about Presto Microwave Popcorn Popper - PowerPop Multi-Popper

mtaylor82569 — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 01:37:31 GMT

My mother has a Presto PowerPop Microwave Multi-Popper and I always loved movie and popcorn night.....when I moved away from home popcorn never tasted the same unless I went through the trouble of popping it in a pan on the stove, or went to the movies and paid outrageous prices for it! For my Birthday recently my mom bought me one and she bought lots of extra paper trays for me also since they are harder to come by. We are a dedicated Presto PowerPop family---even my brothers have one! If you Love Popcorn you will Love it even more when you use this item---I Guarantee it!...

MrSeapig says "Toastermaster Popcorn Maker is King of DVD Movies!" about Toastmaster Popcorn Popper - TPC3

MrSeapig — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:09:52 GMT

I am not just a popcorn lover; I am a popcorn addict! Just admitting it feels good. Watching a good movie, or a bad movie for that matter, without a big tub of popcorn is just plain wrong. Watching a movie on DVD at home without popcorn is even more wrong. When you watch a movie you want popcorn, you need popcorn, you can't live without popcorn. You need the Toastmaster TP3 Popcorn Maker.

Don't burn yourself making the old-fashioned popcorn in a pot with lid; or while opening that super-hot bag of microwave popcorn! It's dangerous and not even made in the same room as your DVD movie! The Toastermaste TP3 Popcorn Maker makes quick popping light and fluffy popcorn almost as fast as you can feed it more kernels. Here's a good tip; I like to shake some grated parmesan cheese on the popcorn instead of salt. Yum!

When your double-feature is over the Toastmaster TP3 Popcorn Maker requies no cleaning and stores easily; until the next double-feature starts!

marthajane says "Never buy another bag of microwave popcorn!" about Presto Microwave Popcorn Popper - PowerPop Multi-Popper

marthajane — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 17:45:05 GMT

I eat popcorn at least three times a week. It is my snack of choice. I have enjoyed the convenience of the Presto Power Pop for over 20 years - -I am on my third one! The thing I like best is you can pop without oil and then add butter to your popped popcorn! Regular popcorn is MUCH cheaper than microwave popcorn, and with the Power Pop you get the convenience of microwave popcorn, the healthy aspect of air popping and the thriftiness of plain popcorn! The only thing I don't care for is having to replace the paper trays, but, again, if you don't use oil they last much longer....

jajochku3 says "Use it more than I thought I would!" about Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper

jajochku3 — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 21:42:34 GMT

I simply love movie theater popcorn. If I could have a movie theater popper in my kitchen, I would.

The Whirley-pop is insanely easy to use. It is priced very reasonably. Plus, it doesn't require any special corn or oil. I have been trying out different brands to find just the right movie theater taste.

Since it's so easy to use, I barely put ours away. If we sit down to watch tv, you can bet I'm making a batch of popcorn to enjoy too!

Socalbeachgal says "I love this popper - it works wonderfully!! " about Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper

Socalbeachgal — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 02:03:39 GMT

I must admit I was a bit skeptical when I first took it out of the box because I was expecting a heavy pot rather than super-thin aluminum. But once I tried it and found the right heat setting (on my stove: #7 - med-high) all concerns vanished. Plus - it was just as fast as the nasty microwave bags!

A couple of key things to keep in mind:

1. Do not use high heat. Seriously! This isn't grandma's 12lb. stock pot - the aluminum is intentionally thin to allow for quick, even heating and dispersion.

2. Because the aluminium is thin, add your ingredients BEFORE you turn on the heat and start cranking as soon as you do. It generally takes about 2 mins. until the corn starts popping and then only another minute or so to pop all of it. (You need to take it off the heat a little early if you love a few 1/2 popped kernels at the bottom like I do!)

3. Allow yourself a couple of batches to get the oil to corn ratio right. (2tsp of oil to 1/2 cup of good quality small kernel corn, 2 1/2-3 tsp. of oil......

AmyA says "A microwave popcorn popper that really works" about Presto Microwave Popcorn Popper - PowerPop Multi-Popper

AmyA — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 03:33:00 GMT

I received a Presto 04830 PowerPop Microwave Multi-Popper years ago as a gift and happy to see they are still making them. You can make popcorn with or without oil and either way the popcorn pops up great. The popcorn maker uses two innovations that helps microwave radiation onto the popcorn. First is a removable base that locks onto the transparent bowl. Second is a disposable paper tray that fits into the bowl's bottom. A package of eight cups accompanies the unit, and others can be purchased separately. Each is good for about 12 batches when used with oil or 24 without oil. Both bowl and lid are dishwasher-safe. I buy the disposable paper trays at Wal-mart and they have the popper as well (I always buy a few packs of the trays when I see them). I have had mine for about 6 years now and it still pops popcorn as good as the first day I had it. This popper has also been endorsed by Orville Redenbacher and that man new his popcorn! You can buy this for around $20 and it pays...

stef42678 says "Pour Popped Popcorn" about Toastmaster Popcorn Popper - TPC3

stef42678 — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 20:25:05 GMT

I have always loved to airpop my popcorn, so when my favorite popper broke, I ran out to get a new one and thought the Toastmaster version was a great solution. It does pop up your popcorn light and fluffy, but it spits out unpopped kernels and is very slow to pop a full serving of kernels. I followed directions exactly and filled the popper with the right amount of kernels and no matter what I did, it would pop some of the kernels and then spit out unpopped kernels. The popcorn it did pop came out tasting great, light and fluffy. However it was a huge hassle to dig out the unpopped kernels in the bowl to pour them back into the popper. There is no hinge on the popper to drop kernels in so you have to turn it off to add more which makes popping the corn a long chore. The popper sells for only about $20, but it still doesn't work as great as my last popper. When you finally do get a whole batch of kernels popped, the popcorn tastes great and is light and fluffy. All you have......

nemesis099 says "If you love popcorn you can now make it the way you like it!" about Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper

nemesis099 — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:28:14 GMT

I received a Whirly Popper as a gift and didn't use it as I had lots of bagged popcorn left. But when I tried it I was hooked. I liked the way it worked where you could control the oil and mix different types of kernals. I also liked the real butter I could put on the popcorn over the chemicals in the bags (which they are saying could cause problems now).

I did fine the unit a little difficult to clean and the first few times I made popcorn I didn't use the right oil but after I started doing some research I found ways to make it taste better and better.

You also have to be careful as the lid pops open sometimes while I'm pouring the popcorn out which can dump the popcorn all over the place. Also the metal they use heats up really quick so be careful not to touch it and burn yourself. If you have little kids I would not let them use this because of the danger of them burning themselves.

Overall I think it is a great product and continue to use and enjoy it. I still buy bag...

Traut says "Great popcorn" about Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper

Traut — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 13:50:39 GMT

I got this for Christmas and was excited to use this. I wasn't disappointed. I like the premeasured packs of corn and oil, which takes the guess work out. This setup makes great popcorn and enough to keep a family of four happy. The only negative and I can say is that the lid after several uses has become loose. ...

walley5 says "good old fashioned pocorn!" about Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper

walley5 — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 00:47:45 GMT

We've used this popcorn popper for years now - in fact, we have 2 of them that we use side by side every Sunday night for our family of 9. Pops up quickly and deliciously, and wipes clean fairly easily. We don't worry about cleaning every crack and crevice since we use it so regularly, but if you did, it would be more tedious to wash. We use coconut oil and salt and it makes for a wonderfully healthy, inexpensive snack. The only thing we have had problems with is the little window in the top, they have come off both poppers and we've replaced them with aluminum foil. If you look at the ingredients in microwave popcorn, you'll never want that stuff again......

Gwenelle says "Makes the best popcorn in practically no time." about Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper

Gwenelle — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 00:08:51 GMT

I agree with the other reviewers that the Whirley Pop makes great-tasting popcorn fast and easily without scorching. I've just had one problem with it, though, that prevents me from awarding it the full five stars. The screw holding the right-side lid handle on came loose and dropped into my popped popcorn while I was pouring it into the bowl. I was able to retrieve the screw before anybody could bite on it, but then I found that I couldn't simply put the screw back in and tighten it down hard (nor could I tighten up the screw on the other side of the lid) because Whirley Pop uses screws that have rounded heads with no slots to accomodate a screwdriver! Fortunately, I was able to find another screw to fix the handle, but the experience diminished the pure joy I'd known with this product up to that point....

The great taste of homemade popcorn that isn't fromt he microwave and doesn't have the hastle of making sure the popcorn doens't burn to the bottom of your good pan. It always tastes great and is very very easy to use. I would recommend it to any popcorn lover.

Raviolikid says "The best popcorn popper ever!" about Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper

Raviolikid — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 23:08:03 GMT

This is the best popcorn popper ever! The stirring mechanism insures that the popsorn doesn't scortch or burn and makes it possible to use high heat. The popcorn is done in no time and tastes great. It has a wonderful, natural taste - not the chemical taste of microwave popcorn or the stryrofoam flavor of air popped....

lbtrees says "The smell of popcorn in the air!" about Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper

lbtrees — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 22:09:58 GMT

WE have had the whirly pop for 4-5 years now. We have used it with regular popcorn and also the Theatre Box popcorn (which is so delicious) and both kinds work equally well. All of the popcorn pops and there are no kernels left in the bottom. The popcorn is quite fluffy. Enjoy some today.

jazzybean01 says "Air popped is better" about Toastmaster Popcorn Popper - TPC3

jazzybean01 — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 21:19:26 GMT

I love, love, love air popped popcorn. I bought one of these air poppers at a garage sale for $1 and it runs great. It pops fast. The popcorn is nice and fluffy. Just add your favorite flavorings and you're ready to go.

The only thing is the popcorn tray is not hinged and will spill the kernels everywhere if you try and drop it in. You have to take the lid off and pour it straight in. I also have to microwave my butter due to having no tray on this machine. These two things are nothing if you don't mind two extra steps in the kitchen. The popcorn is still great and it's quick and easy and ready for a movie. It's also cheaper than microwave popcorn.

Michael says "Fast great popcorn" about Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper

Michael — Sat, 19 May 2007 02:56:10 GMT

This is a fantastic popcorn popper. I used it tonight! Just add a bit of oil, put in popcorn and in a couple minutes you have perfect popcorn. There are typically very few unpopped kernels. The popcorn does taste like the movies. We like to use olive oil which makes it a bit healthier and that works great. My daughter also loves to watch us cook. We have an electric cook top and this works well on it - but I must say it worked even better when we had gas.

Buy one - they are inexpenseive and fun to use. They are also easy to clean, but hey - who likes to clean up? Not me.

The company that makes the Whirley Pop also makes salts, oil and has various breeds of popcorn. Their popcorn is great, but I am not a big fan of their flavored salts. The salts tend to be too much flavor and too fine in size for my taste.
