Review: Popcorn perfection! - I love this popcorn popper!!! I've been using it a couple of times a week for over a month now, and no problems whatsoever, other than "user error." The first week I used it, I followed the instructions and started out on medium heat on my electric range. I popped corn twice that week, and it turned out absolutely delicious and crunchy, with not even one unpopped kernel. The next weekend, I forgot to start out on medium heat, and used my "over-easy egg" temperature of medium-high instead. Big mistake! I had a small volume of totally black popcorn, and a house full of smoke. I scrubbed forever, and never did get all the burnt popcorn off the bottom of the pan. Nevertheless, the pan still works great and I have popped perfect popcorn every week since then with no trouble whatsoever, and not a single old maid yet. I didn't experience any problems with a loose lid. In fact, it was quite difficult to snap on when I first received the popper, and I resolved never to remove it. However, I had to remove it after the burnt corn incident, and have removed it to wash it thoroughly several times since then, and have had no problems reattaching the lid. No problem with both sides popping open when pouring the popcorn out either. I love the solid, sturdy stainless steel construction, not to mention the fact that I don't have to worry about leached aluminum. I listened to another reviewer and only turn the crank clockwise, and have had no problems with the cranking mechanism either. I don't understand the methods of those who claim it takes 15 minutes to pop their corn either. I use just barely a tablespoon of oil to 1/3 to 1/2 cup of kernels, set it on the burner, cranking occasionally until I hear the oil start to sizzle. As soon as I hear a kernel pop, I turn the crank continually, and have a pot full of perfect popcorn within less than 2 minutes of that time. In the old days, we popped corn in a kettle by shaking it over the burner. Very tiring and noisy! With mixed results. Also, hard on those electric ranges! Mine now wouldn't stand up to that friction without the burner becoming detached. The crank makes popping corn a breeze! Later on, I received an air popper as a gift, and decided very shortly that air-popped popcorn wasn't even worth eating. I tried microwave popcorn quite a few times, and found it fairly tasty, but have issues with the health concerns of both the chemical coatings of the bag and the effects of microwaving. Haven't owned a microwave in over two decades. At that point, we switched to Jiffy Pop, which I actually liked quite a bit. However, the results were very uneven. We always had tons of old maids, and frequent burned popcorn or low volumes. Finally, I switched to pre-popped organic popcorn in the bag. This stuff, I actually like quite a bit, especially the cheddar variety. And nothing is easier than just opening a bag and pouring melted butter over it. However, I wanted to be more sure that I was getting organic corn and to be able to buy my own organic toppings. I was actually shocked at how much better popcorn from this popper is than the organic pre-popped. Or anything else I've tried. It rivals and beats out the theatre popcorn, which now has so many additives that it tastes artificial and makes my mouth burn. This popcorn is so much crunchier and tastier! I tried it with organic coconut oil the first two times, but didn't like the flavor. Also tried it with the Amish popcorn, which was OK, but I prefer yellow popcorn. Since then, I have been popping the Eden Organic popcorn, also available on desertcart, and using corn oil. I top it with plenty of fresh butter from pasture-grazed cows, Frontier organic cheddar cheese powder, which I also bought from desertcart, and Himalayan sea salt. Absolute popcorn heaven! Now all I have to do is find some organic corn oil. I must say I treasure this popper so much that I have ordered another one, so that I can have a pristine one without all the black burnt spots on the bottom. After being spoiled by the ease of pre-popped popcorn, I thought it would be too much of a chore for me to ever pop my own on a regular basis, and continued to have my doubts after I ordered this popper. But this is so incredibly easy and so quick, and so incredibly tasty, that I am sure I will never eat any other popcorn again! I've doubled my popcorn consumption since I received it, but feel great about eating a healthy snack popped to perfection!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is the popcorn popper made in the USA using all USA materials and labor?**
A: To the people who couldnt care less where it was made.............the workers in China do not have the same standard of living we have here and are do not have the same working conditions we have here so they are paid less than our USA counterparts, putting people here in YOUR country out of work! Your taxes pay for unemployment benefits for these unemployed workers..........so your not saving any money. Buy American and stop worrying about your hard earned dollar.  Or OUR standard of living will fall too.

**Q: does anyone have a great recipe for kettle corn that works on this Great Northern popper?**
A: I just made kettle corn with my Great Northern popper last week using the following recipe and it turned out fantastic; without the burning that many people complain about. 2 Tablespoons regular olive oil or vegetable oil, 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, 1/2 cup corn kernels, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/3 cup sugar. Heat the oil, butter, salt and sugar over medium heat till hot then add the corn. When the kernels start to pop start turning the handle and continue until the popping stops. Pour into a large bowl and break up any large clumps. Be careful because the corn will remain very hot because of the sugar. Enjoy!

**Q: Is the pot stainless steel or just the stirrer**
A: With all due respect to other reviewers, and a half-century in engineering, this popper is 99% "stainless steel". The handle and crank knob are wood, the two gears are zinc casting alloy, and the four rivets and pin (opposite the crank) are aluminum. That's why it's not 100%.

I'll also add that "stainless", "surgical", "food", "aircraft", etc. grade steels and/or aluminum, are only advertising terms, not technical terms (although even engineers are known to use them). Another point is that "stainless" steels are actually called Corrosion Resistant Steels (CRES), and they can and do rust, making the term "stainless" totally inaccurate.

**Q: I have a glass cooktop.  Tried different heat settings & popcorn but still have lots of us popped kernels. Any suggestions??**
A: I have found that a recipe of 50gms Orville Redenbacher popcorn + 10gms Olive oil on med heat (#6 on my glass top) and seasoned salt to taste before popping -  works every time.  I add popcorn and oil to cool pan and stir constantly once I hear the first kernel pop.  I think it is necessary to buy quality popcorn for all to pop.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVE this Popcorn Popper -- STAINLESS STEEL
*by S***B on November 23, 2024*

This review is for the stainless steel version, not aluminum. We make popcorn a lot, sometimes daily. We make it in the microwave in a pinch, but I believe in making popcorn on the stove. This popcorn popper makes better popcorn than our heavy-bottom pot and is a lot easier to handle. It's lightweight and the hinged top makes using it a breeze. For large batches, you can keep one side unhooked, give the pot a shake and dump popped popcorn into the bowl then continue popping the rest. If you're even slightly into cooking, using this popcorn popper is as easy as the microwave and the result is 1000 times better. Worth the money and will last -- we bought ours almost 4 years ago and have given it plenty of use. It's still shiny and pumping out perfect popcorn. Highly recommend. UPDATE: Another year has gone by and we're still making great popcorn with this almost fail-proof popper. We actually found that some popped kernals would get stuck under the stirrer so we removed it and just shake the pot as we go. Still really loving this piece of equipment. One of the most-used items in our kitchen.
