very nice little popper, fast, yummy!!!!!!
it works well, fairly fast as well its faster than my older good one I am saving.. pops most all kernels
only 2 semi cons, well maybe this isn't for most size kernels however with jumbo kernels the kind you use for candied corn or caramel corn the chute gets clogged, your first urge is to shake it BE CAREFUL THERE ISN'T HOT BUTTER INT HE DISH FIRST!
easier to poke a butter knife in there, once the initial jam is free it wont clog up again, like I said it may only be on these massive jumbo kernels I get from the Omish on the Zon.. very tasty corn oh boy..
other con is and maybe this isn't more of a warning... you may be tempted to move the popper while its working if it walks a little and you want to re position it, again BE CAREFUL if its cup has hot butter in it, THE FEET ARE STICKY and it will tip over!
it walks cuz the vibration of the convex spinning up so fast, and it may move,your first instinct is to grab it by the waist and move it back, DON'T the feet are sticky, grab a towel and use both hands pick it up like 1/4" off the surface then move it, set it back down..be careful not to spill your hot butter..
my best advice is to do a few dry runs with no hot butter, see how it works on your surface where you have are going to use it, mine is slippery, maybe yours isn't, best to do a few break in runs and toss that popcorn, get the new smell out and break it in some, see how it works, see if your corn is going to clog and how you want to handle that, see if it dances?
mine was so happy it danced across the counter, right towards the hot caramel and nuts I have in the sauce pan waiting for the jumbo popcorn to immerse itself in, OMG I made some better than store bought or carnival caramel corn..
TRY ADDING BACON BITS AND CASHEWS!!!!! fry some fresh bacon up in bits, add it to your caramel corn recipe, OMG!!!!
enjoy some healthy popcorn, this thing works and works well, may have a few quirks but the healthy popcorn is what we are after and it delivers... front and center and it may do a dance for you?
enjoy...
