6QT Stirring Popcorn Popper Maker with Nonstick Plate

Our daughter is obsessed with popcorn. We had been doing the microwave popcorn bags and thought we would try this popcorn maker. She loves helping to make the popcorn! She climbs up on her stool to watch the kernels spin around and start popping. She gets so excited watching the kernels pop. This popcorn maker does a good job of popping almost all of the kernels and doesn’t take too long to make a batch of popcorn either. It makes more than a microwave bag so there is more for the family to share. The black cap that covers the vent holes on the lid after the popcorn is popped so that that lid can double as a bowl does not like to stay on though, so we just put the popcorn in separate bowls. Everyone has more than enough!

I purchased this product for family movie nights and it has been a valuable part of our entertainment setup. It's a 6-quart size It doesn't heat up quick It pops the few cups I added well. I will not clean this in a dishwasher It's easy to use

We acquired our COSTWAY electric popcorn maker as a health play. While we LOVE traditional microwave popcorn, they come with those additives we occasionally vow to avoid. The COSTWAY couldn’t be easier to use! Add your oil, add your popcorn, fasten the lid, turn it on. That’s it. A normal batch has been taking about 5 – 6 minutes to prepare. After using it for several batches, I have these recommendations: Even though the instructions say to use two tablespoons of oil per cup of raw kernels, I find it better to use less than a full cup of kernels so the popped kernels have room to expand – something like 7/8 of a cup will do nicely. Also, don’t skimp on the oil. We tried one batch using less oil and it burned. The other recommendation is to turn the unit off when the popping starts to taper off. Don’t wait until there is zero popping or you’ll burn the batch. If you are adding some yummy flavors to your batch (butter, spices, etc.), you’ll do that in whatever bucket/bowl you dump your completed batch into – not during the popping. There is a little art to making a good batch of popcorn. We are better at this in batch six than the first batch. This was a really good purchase that is fun, useful, practical and easy to use.

Popcorn is a routine staple in our house. We often make it as part of our Sunday evening routine. We had been going the healthy route and making it with a microwave bowl to avoid using oil. We decided that we missed popcorn made with oil and tried out the Costway popper. We followed the directions exactly as stated in the user manual. The popper was very easy to use. The popcorn came out perfect, with only 2 or 3 unpopped kernels. The only reason I rated it a 4 is because the plastic lid, used to cover the air wholes after you are done popping, didn’t stay on very well. The lid is needed so you can flip the cover over and use it as a bowl. However, this is not not a big deal and won’t take away from making delicious popcorn.
