Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Whirley Pop Real Theater Popcorn with 6-Quart Stovetop Popcorn PopperCustomer Review: And I am not a popcorn lover Summary: 5 StarsGreat popcorn, more quickly than microwave and because you use your own ingredients you make it as healthy as you want. A review below called this flimsy. It does appear flimsy (thin aluminum), but this is our two-year old's favorite helmet, space saucer (he sits in it while we spin him around), drum etc. The thinness improves the ability of the pot to heat evenly without scorching and after four years of frequent use and abuse it still is in great condition. It can definitely take a beating. I never liked popcorn (either too oily or no flavor), and my husband is thrilled that this machine has gotten me "into" the stuff. I even crave some of the recipe flavors at times.
Description of Whirley Pop Real Theater Popcorn with 6-Quart Stovetop Popcorn PopperThe most significant difference between popping corn in an average saucepot and in the Whirley-Pop is that the latter's aluminum construction heats the corn to a high temperature faster and uses less oil. Instead of shaking the pot across a burner to facilitate popping, just turn the wooden hand crank attached to the aluminum lid. The crank rotates a stirring mechanism that moves the kernels along the pot bottom, distributing unpopped kernels evenly and preventing popped corn from burning. The lid clamps securely to the base, though one end remains open as a steam/pour vent. Wear oven mitts when popping: while the vent prevents popped corn from escaping, hot oil may spit through. When the crank gets difficult to turn, popping is complete. The folks at Wabash Valley Farms, makers of this popcorn popper, are Midwestern popcorn growers, and it's clear they know and love their corn. The information booklet they include with the popper provides not only interesting popcorn recipes but also a comprehensive history of the ancient art of popping corn. The popper also comes with four packets of movie-style popcorn. --Carol Gnojewski
