Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart CPM-900BK EasyPop Popcorn Maker, Black
Customer Review: Major dissapointment!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I own many Cuisinart products and was excited to find this item. I readily purchased it from bed bath & beyond. The excitement ended there. The first time I used it it leaked oil everywhere. The lid while looks pretty is a terrible design. It hangs over the edge of the pan so as oil splatters up on the sides of the lid it drips down the sides of the base. NOT GOOD! The lid fogs up really quick and you don't see much so the fact that it's clear doesn't help any. They need to redesign the venting at the top to allow more air to flow faster so that the lid doesn't fog up. The heating pan is also a bad design. The stirring arm motor is too weak and towards the end of the popping cycle it will not stir the corn so you'll get some burnt at the end. Also the pan has ridges all around the edge which match the lid design so uncooked kernels find refuge here and don't pop. Again bad design. I've used it about a dozen times and I haven't had anything break such as the handle locks as others have reported, but it's a mess to clean up due to bad lid/base design.
So since I was disappointed I began my hunt again for another popper. I found the Westbend Kettle Krazy and bought it from Amazon thinking hopefully the design is better. It arrived and I quickly washed it and set it up. I immediately noticed that the lid atleast fits inside the pan, thank goodness... I knew the dripping oil wouldn't be an issue anymore. I popped my first batch and it was amazing! I couldn't believe how different the two units functioned. The pan shape is so much better and the stirring arm is very strong and I think it would stir through anything! I then made kettle corn, yes that's right, kettle corn just like you'd get at the local fair. 3tbs corn oil, 3/4 C mushroom kernels, 1/3 sugar. Add oil, let heat for 2 min, add kernels. When first kernel pops add sugar, sprinkling evenly over kernels and quickly replace lid. Once popped, salt to taste and shake to mix. There you have it, perfect kettle corn. I tried this in the Cuisinart and it just burnt, mainly because the stirring arm motor isn't very strong and made a mess. It also was hard to clean the lid & the cooking pan. BUT the Westbend performed like a champ!!! There was almost no clean up at all. The teflon coating on the pan is amazing and nothing sticks to it. The coating on the EasyPop sucks and sticking is inevitable.
Go with the Westbend Kettle Krazy, You'll be glad that you did!!!
