Popcorn Butter Tubs (128 oz) - 5 Count Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These were just what I expected, only bigger! LOL Just like what you would get at the movies. I used them to make move-themed gift baskets for Christmas. I used the container to hold a DVD, a package of popcorn, and 2 packs of hot chocolate. I wrapped it all up with cellophane and a bow. It was beautiful! And they can use the container for their popcorn. I was very happy with the product for the price.

Nostalgia Electrics OFP901 Popcorn Popper, Red/Gold Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)At first everyone was oooing and aahhhhing but wouldn't consider this a classic or anything, since now (2 months later) we barely use it. It's cute, no doubt, and it works. The kernels are air popped, so not as fluffy which I didn't know before, but some people seem to like it that way. I expected it to be a little bigger looking at the picture. The wheel doesn't work, just there for decoration. It wasn't the greatest present to give for my brother's birthday.... but It'll do..

Paragon Spin Magic 5 Cotton Candy Machine with Plastic Bowl Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this machine but was a bit weary as I had purchaced the smaller ones for sale which were very very disappointing. The small ones basically just spit the melted sugar all over the place and it was more like shards of glass then cotton. This one on the other had made floss like a champ and a lot of it very quickly! I was very impressed. Clean up was easy and quick as you can break the entire machine/head down. I'd say the quality of the floss is just like the cotton candy you get from the fairs/carnivals/circuses (very soft and fine) and if you like cotton candy and can afford it, I highly suggest you pick one up. This machine is supposed to be a beginner/enter level machine but it made more cotton candy faster then I could bag which is awesome! I wonder how much the high output ones produce. The only thing I could find wrong with this product is that the power cord for the unit is some what short at about only 4-5 feet which can be annoying when you try to stretch it outside. You can always use an extension cord though but it will have to be a fairly thick one for saftey. Over all, I'd have to say this machine has exceded all of my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone which can afford it.

Nostalgia KPM-508 Old-Fashioned Kettle Popcorn Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The biggest issue of this popper is that unpopped kernels tend to fly out of the container, like hot air poppers which blow many of the good kernels out. You should monitor it and shake the handle when popping starts to minimize waste. Quality gourmet popcorn like Orville Redenbacher's is a larger kernel and will yield bigger, fluffier popcorn per batch.
Naturally, you will have to wipe out the inside before the first use to get any dust and loose styrofoam out. Then rinse and dry the kettle, plug the kettle in, slip on the mount, and screw in the handle counterclockwise.
Instructions say to run the kettle empty 3-5 mintues just to heat up BEFORE you add 2 teaspsoons of oil and popcorn. The instructions get fuzzy at this point. It says, "... add _ cup of popcorn..." Cup of what? I called and found out just one scoop - equal to 1/4 cup. Don't double it or you risk burning and stuck kernels. It yields 2 quarts which is pretty good. Measuring spoons are provided for oil and popcorn, but no scoop. But the door and opening tray should make popcorn retrieval easy enough.
The sound of the motor spinning is much quieter than hot air poppers which sound like rattling blow dryers. This should let you make more popcorn mid movie with less distraction. This unit is more work for popcorn. However, we live with the trouble because we want theater quality popcorn, right?
As I understand, theater's use coconut oil. I use peanut oil because of the high burn temperature, it will never smoke and hydrogonate. You can make batch, after batch, of delicious popcorn, but sooner or later, you have to turn it off and clean the kettle. Unplug the unit, wait for it to cool, unscrew the handle, unplug the kettle and remove it. Then a nice soak in hot soapy water. Again, done for the love of popcorn.
There is even an overhead light to help you see the popcorn, but this appears to be an ordinary lamp. It is decorative and in no way keeps the popcorn warm. Just like the wheels which are decorative and do not spin.
The unit is fairly large, and takes up under 9 x 12 inches of counter space. Roughly 18.5" tall. Easily, twice the size of a hot air popper. Home theater owners won't mind the space, otherwise, you may need to make room.
It normally comes in the nostalgic classic red, but I have seen green available, and I bought mine in a pleasant black. Certainly, more trouble than normal for popcorn, but the quality is great.
Health conscious people may bally hoo the oil aspect, but that depends on how healthful an oil you use. Healthful fat in your diet, like olive and peanut oils, are better than no fat at all.
In short, if you are a popcorn lover who tires of the over salted bag popcorn, the dry hot air popcorn, or the burned microwave popcorn, this is for you. But, it's a lot more mess. Just remember to clean it regularly to keep it from smoking. Otherwise, start stocking up on Jiffy Pop.
Thanks for your vote!

Make hot, fresh, delicious popcorn just like at the movie theaters with this easy-to-use carnival-style popcorn cart.

For foolproof batches, a measuring spoon for oil and a measuring cup for popcorn kernels come included.
