What could be nicer than sitting at home in front of the TV and as you watch a movie with your partner or kids to eat some popcorn as well. Yes you could pop a packet into the microwave. But having an electric popcorn popper allows you to make this great tasting and healthy snack in just a matter of minutes.
Today you will find that there are a number of different models of this machine to select from. Some look very basic whilst others are replicas of the types of popcorn poppers or kettle popcorn maker you would have seen in a cinema back in the 1950’s.
Although these machines look very complicated to use, this isn’t the case. In fact your children will find them as easy to use as you. If you are intending to let your children use them it is worth considering opting for the versions that use hot air rather than oil to cause the kernels of corn to pop.
So what sorts of electric popcorn poppers are available for you to consider purchasing? Below we take a look at a few models.
Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper
This one as you can see by the name uses hot air rather than oil to make great tasting popcorn quickly. As well as making much greater tasting low calorie popcorn for you than the kind you put in the microwave it allows you to make more. In just 2 1/2 minutes this machine allows you to make as many as 18 cups of popcorn for you and your family to enjoy. This machine comes with a butter melter that can also be used for measuring out the cups of popcorn that you wish to make.
Back To Basics PC17589 Electric Popcorn Popper
This one comes with a base that is non stick but to further ensure that the kernels don’t stick and are constantly moving it has a motorized dasher. What is really great about this particular model of popcorn popper is that it comes with a well in the middle in to which butter can be placed. Then as it melts it will be added to the kernels as they are popping ensuring that everything is coated consistently with its flavour.
Plus to help ensure that the popcorn remains crisp and dry there are vents in the clear lid allowing steam to get out. Then once the kernels have finished popping then there is a snap on cover that goes over the vents. Also this machine comes with extended handles so the task of flipping the base and lid to allow the popcorn to be emptied into a bowl is far easier.
Toastess TCP-388 Electric Popcorn Popper
This one as with the first model we looked at uses hot air to make 16 cups of delicious healthy tasting popcorn in around 3 minutes. The special air flow design incorporated into this particular electric popcorn popper allows the kernels to pop much more quickly and you will find that it is much puffier. It comes with a measuring cup that can be removed and so allows you to melt butter to add to yours if you wish.
