Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been using my Whirley Pop for three years now. I eat a lot of popcorn, and I've tried every method known to man for making it. This device wins the prize: it makes a full pot of fluffy, crisp corn using a minimum of oil, leaving essentially no unpopped kernels.
But you have to pay attention to the directions and leave your preconceptions behind.
1. Don't use high heat. Yes, with the usual heavy pot you use high heat and shake vigorously. With Whirley Pop, you should use medium heat, and just crank the crank.
2. Don't use too much oil. 1-2 tablespoons is plenty. Use canola oil and you have a low-fat, low-cholesterol snack that tastes delicious.
3. Use good-quality popping corn. Orville's is good, but I've also gotten fine results with bulk popping corn for 50 cents a pound as well. Just know your source. And store it properly, sealed, dry, and cool. I've tried several exotic and (expensive) varieties and usually achieved results inferior to Orville's.
4. DON'T USE HIGH HEAT. Really. Most of the problems people seem to have with the Whirley Pop can probably be traced to setting the burner to High.
I don't really recommend any of the other products - corn, oils, flavorings - sold along with this popper, but the popper itself makes perfect popcorn, the best I've every had. You just have to pay attention to what you're doing and follow the instructions.
