Aluminum Popcorn Pot, Black

I purchased this stainless steel popcorn popper to replace my old aluminum one after switching to an induction range. The design and style are exactly the same, which I loved, but the stainless steel construction makes it induction-compatible—and it works perfectly. I’m very impressed with the quality of this popper. It’s solid, well-built, and feels much sturdier than my previous aluminum version. Everything fits together nicely, and it has a durability that makes me confident it will last for many years. If you’re moving to an induction cooktop or just want a more robust, long-lasting popcorn popper, this is an excellent upgrade. I’m extremely pleased with this purchase.

I love popcorn. Air-popped, stove popped, even microwave in a pinch, but most of all, I love movie theater popcorn. I go to the movies, not to sit next to strangers coughing and talking, but because that is where I can get the best popcorn. Then I discovered that Disney World sells it, and you can buy a reuseable bucket for $10, and refill it with delicious movie theater style popcorn for $1.50 forever after. We live in central Florida and have passes, so bye-bye movie theaters as I could now get my fix at Disney almost weekly! Then....Covid-19 arrived, and months have gone by with no end in sight to my craving for crunchy, salty, tasty movie theater popcorn. Ugh! So I began to think that there must be something I can do about this. Thank goodness for Amazon! With a little bit of research, my dilemma was solved, crisis averted, and I can now sit at home getting happily fat on as much movie theater popcorn as my heart desires! Check out my other reviews for the future Keto bars and shakes I'll be living on once I get my fill of popcorn! Ha! Seriously, I hunted around looking for what would be the best system for achieving perfect results and flavor for specifically movie theater style popcorn. I already own 2 air poppers, which I love, but it's a completely different result. I looked at several types of popping devices and decided on this one because it looked like good quality, being stainless steel and heavier than the aluminum ones. I don't like burned popcorn. This popper is heavy, sturdy, and pops perfect popcorn without any burning. It is extremely easy to clean, just wipe it out after using (and cooling down) with a cloth and it's good to go. It has 3 places on the lid where it snaps on to the pot securely, and this is fantastic because as soon as the popcorn is finished, you can pick up the pot by the wood handle without needing potholders, and with the one unsecured flap on the top, you can dump the fresh, hot popcorn into a bowl. The top also has 4 little vents that face in toward the center of the pot so that as steam and little droplets of oil escape, it is kept to a minimum and doesn't spray out onto the stove, or the person making the popcorn. The top also has all metal gears, and a stirring mechanism for the bottom of the pot to stir the popcorn around as it pops so that you can avoid burning it. This works great for moving the popcorn. I have made popcorn 3 times in 2 days, and every time I get almost every kernal popped, and no burning at all. So, here is my perfect recipe for popcorn that tastes even better than movie theater popcorn. Better because of the quality of the actual popcorn with no hulls attaching to your teeth, and in my case probably a bit more oil than normal because I have no pump for adding extra oil on after finishing, so it's all with the popped corn - but trust me, it's the perfect amount! I'm not saying it won't kill you eventually, but if you have to go, death by carb loaded fatty popcorn is my choice! Anyway... 3 TBSP Butter Flavored Coconut Oil - I bought Golden Barrel Butter Flavored Coconut Oil ($9.97/amazon) scant 1/2 tsp Flavacol Popcorn Salt - This is necessary and the secret to perfect flavor - ($7.80/Amazon) 1/4 cup good quality popcorn - I bought Amish Country 2-2lb bags Purple Popcorn Kernals ($12.99/Amazon) Turn stove on high, add oil, salt and popcorn. When it starts popping, slowly turn the crank to move popcorn around and when the popping slows to just a couple still popping, remove and keep stirring for about 20-30 seconds to make sure you get as many popped as possible, then carefully pour into a bowl and enjoy. 1/4 cup of popcorn makes a perfect amount for 2 people (or exactly enough for me). The pot makes 1/2 cup at a time and the instructions will tell you that, and to make it along with 3 tbsp oil. I did that the first time and it was a LOT of popcorn! Good for a family of 4 (but yeah, I did eat it all but it took me about an hour and a half, lol). the next time I decided to cut the popcorn amount in half but keep the 3 tbsp oil, and it is the perfect combination. Happy popping everyone!

You can buy the super expensive ones, or purchase this fantastic stop popper. Bowl after bowel of consistent popcorn with non of the microwave junk with controlling the ingredients. Less wasted kernels. Heavy duty and cleans very well. Bit on the larger size, but it’s made so very well. I’m impressed deeply.

This popper is all good except that it is very hard to lift the release to get the lid off. I have to pry it off. Even so, I have made several batches of popcorn in it and they are delicious.

I had a hot air popper but I started eating baby popcorn. Unfortunately, the kernels just blow out of the air popper without popping and make a mess. Using a regular skillet is a pain having to constantly shacking the skillet to make sure the kernels don't burn. Plus my stove is glass top electric and shaking the skillet back and forth was scratching the finish on the glass stove top. This popper (Cook N Home 02627 Stainless Steel Stovetop Popcorn Popper, 6 quart, Silver) makes popping the baby popcorn a breeze. Put a splash of oil in the pan, add the popcorn, put the pan on the heat, slowly turn the handle, pop and enjoy. I make 8 to 10 batches at one time, storing the popped corn in containers to eat later. This is much easier to do now than it was with the hot air popper (it would over heat if I made more than 3 batches and I would have to let it cool down before using again besides the problem I mentioned earlier popping baby popcorn) or the skillet (my arm would get really tired shaking it back and forth after 2 or 3 batches). The popper is very well made. Good solid construction. Nice thick bottom that doesn't buckle or warp when it is getting hot and then cooling. I've had stock pots that are similar to the pan part of the popper that were made with thinner bottoms that you can hear buckling and warping. This is not something good to hear while cooking and with thinner bottomed pans you run the risk of burning and/or scorching your food. So, as long as you watch the heat (don't have the heat set too high), turn the handle and take the popper off the heat as the popcorn finish popping you won't have a problem with burning or scorching. Cleaning is a breeze. After everything cools down I simply wipe the pan out and lid off with a dry cloth. If you go sparingly on the oil the pan and lid won't be greasy (first time I used the popper I used too much oil and the pan/lid where greasy/oily; haven't made that mistake again). Hope you found this review helpful and after you buy this popper you enjoy making popcorn now as much as I do.

La mejor compra que he hecho, amo las palomitas y esta olla es excelente, se hacen rápido y truenan todos los maicitos. La tapa es un poco incómoda de limpiar, pero nada del otro mundo.

Ich bin absolut begeistert! Man kann mit dem Popcorntopf in 10 Minuten eine riesige Menge Kino-Pocorn (in drei Herstellungsprozessen) herstellen. Ich habe den Mais von Seeberger genommenen (jeweils ca. 80g), 1El Kokosöl, 1Tl Butter, 2 El. Zucker, 1Tl. Vanillezucker und 1kleine Prise Salz. Nach der Entnahme des Popcorns ist der Topf auch direkt wieder für eine weitere Runde bereit. Ich habe so lange nach einem Modell gesucht, dass auf Induktionsherd funktioniert, endlich hab ich eins und kann nun vollkommen meiner Popcornsucht frönen. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

...and he loves it! I effed up, as I didn't know you couldn't buy these in the UK, so it was late as it was shipped from the US. But it didn't take too long (week and a half-ish), and was several days earlier than estimated. I read the reviews on all models; I was concerned about a few things, so got the insurance, just in case. But I also made sure to get the one with metal gears, and even the mini-popping kernels get stirred, with no issues. Since it was a gift, I did buy a basket with gourmet popping corns, flavours, etc. We're N. American, so like buttered/salted movie theatre popcorn. But the gourmet ones are so lovely, just using good coconut oil (gives a creamy texture; you can smell it, slightly, but not taste it) and fleur-de-sel makes a beautiful, tasty snack. (Joe and Sephs' mini kernels are our favourite, so far); 1/2 cup makes a pot-full (large bowl). It's a quick and fun process. In a word: lovely. 😊

I used a lot of different air poppers and none of them operated well as they would leave unopposed kernels. So I decided to give this stove popper a try and I am so glad that I bought this style. The hand crank which stirs the popcorn works flawlessly and it pops ever kernel perfectly. I set my stove to to medium high and I add 1 table spoon of oil. The kernels come out light and fluffy. My popcorn finally surpasses what I get at the movie theatre. I bought the stainless steel version and the pot is generously thick and durable. I had to adjust the bottom stir wands a bit just by bending downwards so that all the popcorn would get stirred, minor detail that’s took 10 seconds to adjust. I will be buying more of these as gifts for next Christmas. 10/10 popcorn maker!

Cumple con su función. Me gusta mucho el diseño, y es fácil de usar y de limpiar. La volvería a comprar!
