Collapsible Silicone Microwave Hot Air Popcorn Popper Bowl With Lid and Handles (Red)

Product Information

Electric air popper: As it pops, the popcorn shoots out through a spigot into your bowl. It is the healthiest way to make popcorn (no oil or butter is needed). Air poppers are available in fun colors that look great in your kitchen and they are easy to use and clean. They are more expensive than other types of popcorn makers. Most electric poppers have a measuring cup that doubles as a butter warmer as well for easy measuring and butter melting. There are three main types of popcorn makers — the differences are how the popcorn kernels are heated, whether or not oil is needed to cook and how much popcorn each can make: Will the popcorn machine of your dreams be supplying one person or ten? Is this for casual/personal use or is the plan to host an epic movie night with loads of mates? Keep an eye on the maximum load stats if you’re thinking of feeding a big group with your gadget. Are you looking for a healthy option?

If you've opted for a stainless steel stovetop model, you’ll simply need to wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth or piece of kitchen roll.

We love the retro design of the machine, and the traditional cinema-style boxes that come with it are a lovely added touch. I noticed just rinsing the bowl with warm water wasn’t enough to remove all the popcorn “dust” from the silicone, but washing it with a soapy sponge kept my popcorn maker looking like new.

The glass microwave popcorn popper is a unique piece because many microwavable kitchen gadgets are made with plastic. This durable and heat-resistant glass is easy to clean and pops the kernels evenly without burning. While watching the popcorn whizz out of a machine is a big part of the fun, it can be a bit of a safety hazard with little ones around, not to mention a bit of a chore to clean up if the bowl isn't positioned in the correct place.

Do be aware a couple of reviewers say they still found some of the popcorn escaped from the machine so make sure you don’t overfill it.It cooks up perfect popcorn and has convenient easy to grab handles. Save money and reduce extra trash the help of this useful device. For my test, I used Trader Joe’s Organic Popping Corn, which I’d cooked in a saucepan before. I found the silicone liner held about 2 tablespoons of popcorn, about the same amount as a single serving of the TJ’s popcorn. What’s more, when you make your own popcorn there’s no end of flavour options to choose from. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with a classic sweet snd salty combo, but when you’ve got the popping power in your own hands, why not try something new? Our editors selected the best popcorn makers on the market after hours of careful research and consideration of each model's material, capacity, and features. We then tested them side by side in our kitchen, rating them on a number of factors including ease of use and cleaning, as well as the texture and flavor of the final product. Since we know every home cook is different, we worked hard to recommend a range of options, from microwave to stovetop, that would work for different households.

Here is an affordable plastic microwave popcorn popper without any fancy features. It’s made in the USA with microwave safe plastic that is also dishwasher safe. Don’t forget to use a bit of anti-bac spray on buttons and handles too. How we chose the best popcorn makers Recommendations from real Mumsnet users Type: Air popper | Capacity: 60g | Power rating: 1200W | Dimensions: 28.5 x 29 x 30.5cm | Warranty: 3-year guarantee What we like The popcorn maker has a multi-purpose warming tray on top that can be used to melt butter or measure toppings to sprinkle over prepared puffs. To make a batch, simply flip the power switch on, watch the popped kernels fly out of the chute and into your bowl, and then turn it off once it's done popping. The chute and butter tray are both removable and dishwasher safe for a fairly easy cleanup.At some indeterminate point, dad retired that oil-stained device, replaced by the ease and efficiency of microwave popcorn. I never lost my intrigue for cooking the kernels myself, and during the last year I even tried my hand at cooking Trader Joe’s kernels in a saucepan. Popcorn in a saucepan isn’t too hard; it just requires some kernels, oil, salt, and butter if you want them, and 10-15 minutes or so of time. Still, the speed of the microwave is pretty nice. With the water removed, your popcorn won’t get soggy or chewy and will last longer if you don’t finish it right away. The Little Bambino popcorn maker includes a 2.5-ounce stainless steel kettle, a pull-out popcorn tray, and a warming light, plus measuring cups and popcorn bags for serving. The kettle features a stirring system for consistent popping and can produce up to 16 cups of crunchy puffs. 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? The stay cool handles make the popper easy to handle, and the base nests inside the bowl for compact storage. Overall, this is a quality product with a multi-functioning design and a name brand that guarantees repair or replacement.
