What Is The Best Stove Top Popcorn Maker

By Movie Girl | Popcorn Makers , Stove Top

When we think of popcorn we think of fun. Popcorn is synonymous with movie nights, family fun and parties. It is also a fiber filled, gluten free, whole grain snack, and recent studies even tout popcorn as an antioxidant rich food.

Popcorn is also economical, you can feed a lot of kids with a batch or two of popcorn. Making homemade popcorn with a stove top popcorn maker is healthy, inexpensive, and delicious. You may remember your grandma using a whirlybird popcorn popper, which has a crank that turns and keeps the popcorn from burning.

In case you are wondering how to use a stovetop popcorn popper, just set your burner to low heat, add oil and 1/2 cup of popcorn then let it pop. They are also easy to clean, just wipe out with a paper towel. You can also add butter and other seasonings in with the unpopped kernels for extra flavor.

Here are 4 great options for choosing the best stove top or whirly popcorn popper.

Wabash Valley Farms 25008 Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper

This six quart aluminum pan has a wooden hand crank that turns the stainless steel stirring system, which keeps the popcorn moving across the bottom of the pan. This provides even distribution of heat and oil. The lid clips on and is vented to let the steam escape to keep the popcorn crisp and dry.

This is the original whirly-pop stovetop popcorn maker. It is economical and easy to use and clean. Making delicious buttered popcorn in this is a given, but there is no limit to what flavored popcorn treats you can create with this popper. People have even been known to use it for roasting coffee beans. Some even think this is the best popcorn popper for coffee, just be sure to roast the beans outside so that you don’t smoke up your house.

• Makes 6 quarts of popcorn in about 3 minutes
• Stirring mechanism prevents sticking and burning
• Easy clean up: Just wipe with a paper towel
• 25 year warranty on all moving parts

Whirley Pop Stovetop 6 Quart Popcorn Popper Color: Red

 

This popcorn popper is similar to the original whirly pop stove top popcorn maker, except that this whirly pop popcorn popper has the fancy red color. The pan is still aluminum and holds 6 quarts. Like the original it is lightweight and easy to use. Cleaning is as simple as wiping the whirly popcorn popper with a paper towel.

You can pop the corn with a bit of oil or you can get fancy and add butter and salt right to the pan. For a healthier version, you can use organic popcorn, coconut oil, and grass-fed butter. For a delicious treat try making homemade kettle corn.

Easy Kettle Corn Recipe

• 1/2 cup popcorn
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup oil
• salt before serving

Great Northern Popcorn Original Spinner Stovetop 6-1/2-Quart Popcorn Popper

 

 

Great Northern also makes a quality spinning stove top popcorn maker. This one is aluminum and the container is 6 1/2 quarts, which should make batches of 5 quarts of popcorn at a time. With the non-burning spinning mechanism, it is easy to churn out batch after batch of homemade popped corn within minutes.

The Wabash popcorn poppers have plastic gears, which should hold up fine with gentle use. Some of the Great Northern makers have plastic gears, some have metal. If you are concerned with longevity or think your popcorn maker will get rough use, try to find the sturdier metal gear models.

• Makes 5 Quarts of Popcorn in Minutes
• Spinning Stirrer Prevents Burning
• Real Wood Knobs and Handles
• Easy Clean Up – Just Wipe and Go
• Lightweight Aluminum

Great Northern Popcorn Original Stainless Steel Stove Top 6-1/2-Quart Popcorn Popper

 

If you are looking for a better quality popper or are worried about the adverse health effects of cooking with aluminum, this stainless steel option is a good choice. This Great Northern popper is similar to the previous popper except that it is made of stainless steel and has metal instead of plastic gears.

Stainless steel is heavier than the aluminum. It can also stick more, but with the oil and the stirring spinner that shouldn’t be an issue with this popper. Some customer recommended popping tips on this model are to use medium or medium high heat, but try not to get it too hot. Use a small amount of oil and cover the bottom of the pan with kernels. If you use too much popping corn the pot will get too full and the stirrer won’t turn.

• 61/2 Quart popper makes about 5 quarts of popcorn
• Stainless Steel Pot
• Metal Gears
• Wood Handles
• Easy clean, wipe and go

Another Kettle Corn Variation

• 2 Tablespoons Oil
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 1/2 Corn Kernels
• 1 Teaspoon Salt
• 1/3 Cup Sugar
• Heat everything until hot, then add popcorn kernels.
• Turn the handle and stir when popping starts.
• Enjoy!

West Bend Stir Crazy Popcorn Maker

By Movie Girl | Electric , Popcorn Makers

When I was a kid I had an electric popcorn popper, and I absolutely loved it. I even got to bring it to my 4^th grade classroom when we were stringing popcorn to decorate our class Christmas tree.

I know things have changed a bit since those days, but give a kid a popcorn popper and they will find all kinds of fun uses for it. I used mine for slumber parties, afterschool snacks, and movie nights. My Mom even used the popping bowl for a mixing bowl. It was just that useful.

West Bend 82505 Stir Crazy Popcorn Popper, 6-Quart

This West Bend Stir Crazy popper is a little bit fancier than the one I had, but it would still be as fun. This popper has a motorized stirring rod, so there are no burnt kernels.

It also has a place on the top to put butter. As the popper heats up the butter melts and drips onto the popcorn. After you are done popping, just put the lid over the butter area and then you can flip the popper over and use the popping cover as a serving bowl.

West Bend 82306X Stir Crazy 6-Quart Popcorn Popper

This is the original Stir Crazy Popcorn Maker. It comes with the stirring rod, and the melting lid, and butter drip station. You can also put the cover over the butter area and then flip it over and serve the freshly popped corn in the popper cover.

This popper is the original and has received rave reviews. In our opinion, the previous popper is the newer model and probably a better purchase, but it is hard to go wrong with a classic. West Bend has been making electric popcorn poppers for a while now, and they know what they are doing.

West Bend 82386 Kettle Krazy Popcorn Popper and Nut Roaster

Here is another stirring popper from West Bend. This one has a sturdier stirring rod and it has two settings, one for popcorn and one for roasting nuts.

I actually assumed this popper was for making kettle corn because of its name, but it is just a popper. Although that won’t stop me from making kettle corn in it.

To make kettle corn, pop in coconut oil then add butter, salt and sugar. Now you have kettle corn. If you want to make it really authentic, purchase some mushroom popcorn for that true kettle corn experience.

The nut roasting is also a nice feature of this popper. Fresh roasted nuts are yummy and it is easy to make different variations with salt, sugar and spices.

This popper has an older retro look, but is still a popular model.

Popcorn Maker Machine Popper by Paramount

The electric popcorn popper isn’t by West Bend, but it seems like a similar contender. This machine by Paramount has a fun black and white design and a stirring mechanism.

It also has the serving bowl butter melting top, which is also dishwasher safe. The heating element is 1000 watts for fast popping and the popping plate is non-stick ceramic. This popper is Teflon free.

This is actually a nice popper and definitely gives the stir crazy popper a run for its money. You can use up to 6 ounce packet of corn with this popper. This popper has received positive reviews and seems like a good choice in electric popcorn poppers.

Glass Microwave Popcorn Poppers

By Movie Girl | Glass , Popcorn Makers

Nothing says modern kitchen convenience like a microwave. Still, pre-packaged microwave popcorns contain a lot of strange chemical ingredients and artificial flavors, which makes home popped popcorn very attractive.

Many of us are also short on counter space. If only there was a way to make home-made popcorn without having to find a spot for another appliance. The answer is a microwave popcorn popper. We have reviewed plastic microwave popcorn poppers, but this review is about glass microwave popcorn poppers.

Catamount Glassware 1-Quart Personal Popcorn Popper

 

 

The Catamount Glassware 1 quart microwave popcorn popper is a personal popper. It only uses about ¼ cup of popcorn and makes small batches.

There have been some reviewer complaints about burning or unpopped kernels. Like all microwave popcorns you have to experiment with the temperature and time. If burning is an issue lower the temp or time. If unpopped kernels is an issue raise the temperature or time.

If your microwave has a popcorn setting, you should get good results with this popper if you use that setting. This is a cool little glass popcorn maker with a silicone lid. Made by a good company.

The Catamount glass company was started by a solo-entrepreneur in his basement. Now it is a US based company that has been going strong for over 30 years. This company takes pride in its products and quality assurance.

Laroma Micro 3 Quart Popcorn Popper

If you would like a larger serving of popcorn, you could get this Laroma Micro 3 Quart popper. This is also glass with a silicone lid. The lid also doubles as a measuring cup and a butter melting cup.

Like other microwave popcorn poppers, you have to experiment to get it to come out right. This popper received mixed reviews. Some folks love it, and others didn’t. The glass gets hot so be careful when removing it from the microwave.

Catamount Glassware Classic Design Microwave Popcorn Popper, 2.5 Quarts

Here is a 2.5 quart popper from our friends at Catamount. This one also has the silicone butter melting lid. Besides quality US made glass the ink used on the graphics is organic.

Put a ¼ of popcorn in this popper and microwave for 3 minutes and you should have delicious oil free microwave popcorn. This popper is also easy to clean.

Micro Pop Glass Popcorn Popper

Here is a cool shaped glass popcorn popper by Epoca. Some customers have reported good results with this popper, but be warned it seems to be very fragile. Also, we believe the glass on this one is made in China as are many of our kitchen gadgets.

Vermont Personal Microwave Popcorn Popper

The Vermont Personal Microwave Popcorn Popper is a cute personal popper with cute cow images painted on the side. It also has the silicone butter melting lid. This is a great looking popper.

This popper has that Vermont artisan charm, and it is actually made in Vermont because it’s from Catamount Glass. This is a personal popper, so it only pops small amounts. Not that it’s a huge issue, since it’s not too difficult to make a second batch.

Microwave Popcorn Poppers Reviews

By Movie Girl | Microwave , Popcorn Makers

Today we have 4 microwave popcorn popper reviews for you. Here at popcorn maker reviews we have popping corn down to a science, but some people just want a fast easy way to make some home made popcorn. This is where microwave popcorn poppers come into the picture.

Just in case you didn’t know, you can make microwave popcorn in a glass bowl with a plate on top or in a paper bag with the edge folded over. Your mileage may vary, but you can try these methods in a pinch. You could also check out some of these specially designed microwave popcorn popper.

Nordic Ware 60120 Microwave Popcorn Popper 12 Cup

This is very popular choice. This Nordic Ware popper is made from an unbreakable heat proof plastic called gemstone. It is dishwasher safe, and specially formulated to direct the heat from the microwave onto the popcorn kernels.

This popper also doubles as a serving bowl, but it is hot when it comes out of the microwave. Our testers thought the popcorn tasted great and most kernels popped. This popcorn seems to have a better texture than the air popped corn. It may have something to do with trapping moisture in the lid.

If you are wondering how to use the microwave popcorn popper, you may have to experiment a bit. The directions say pop for 3-10 minutes, but times vary depending on the temperature of your microwave. The lower the temperature, the longer it takes to pop.

Usually, around 3 minutes is enough, but if your popcorn is burning you may need to lower the temperature or the popping time. If you have many unpopped kernels you may need to lower the temperature and increase the popping time. Once you know your ideal time and temperature, you are good to go.

Presto 04830 PowerPop Microwave Multi-Popper

The Presto PowerPop is an interesting popper. It is actually a 4 part system. It comes with a dishwasher safe cover and popping bowl. Then it has a popping base that you insert a paper concentrator into. The base and the concentrator focus the microwave energy for superior popping results. Which means hardly any unpopped kernels.

The base is not dishwasher safe, but can be easily wiped off. The concentrators are disposable paper disks. These can be reused about 12 times if you add oil, about 24 without added oil. 8 concentrators come with this unit and you can easily order refills from Amazon.

This is a good popper and taste tested approved. You can add oil and salt directly to the popper before popping or go all natural and add nothing but popcorn kernels. This popper works great, but may a bit complicated for a microwave popper.

Lekue Popcorn Maker 0200226R10M017

This Lekue popcorn maker reminds me of something you would find in IKEA. Lekue makes innovative silicone products designed for healthier cooking options. This popcorn maker is a sleek simple design and is dishwasher safe.

This popper is simple and straight forward. It pops delicious microwave popcorn with or without salt and oil. It’s easy to use and easy to clean up. It also looks nice.

Microwave Popcorn Maker

If you enjoy simple silicone microwave popcorn makers, this is another great choice. This one isn’t as fancy as the Lekue, but it costs less and is similar. You can cook popcorn dry or with oil, and it is dishwasher safe.

Listen for pops when adjusting the time and temperature to get the right setting for this popper and your microwave. Be careful when removing because it will be hot.

It’s hard to go wrong with a red silicone popper with the words popcorn on the side. If you get tired of using it for a popcorn popper, you could always give it to the kids to use as a beach pail.
