Nostalgia Electrics KPM-508 Old-Fashioned Kettle Popcorn Maker Reviews
I received this product as a gift and the crank is supposed go on the right side of the machine but the hole for the crank is on the left side. Would def not recommend. Machine also looks like it was put together very cheap, especially the caulking which is very un-professional. The basket won't fit in backwards so I'm stuck with trying to tip the basket by hand which is not a good idea.
I tried putting less popcorn seeds in, but then it takes a lot longer to get enough to eat. It is expensive too. I purchased this popper almost a year ago. They fly out while some kernnals pop. I used it about 10 times and decided it wasn't worth the trouble. I went back to the kettle on the stove and this popcorn popper is in the basement in storage. Poor design, lets seeds pop out before they are ready. You get mostly seeds back from the pan.
Also, you are then left with many unpopped kernals. If you follow the directions on the popper in regards to amount of kernals of popcorn to make at one time, the popper jams and you have to dig the popped popcorn out. Can only make a very small amount of popcorn at a time.
I bought some specialized popping oil that is a blend including several different oils, including Coconut oil and betacarotine (which gives it that distinctive color) that finally made the cut. Generally I'd say this is a good popper. Overall I'd recommend this but personally wonder if a larger version might not have been better (despite the counter space such a unit would make). As others have said, smaller kernels tend to just get pushed out and wasted, so get a larger-kernel corn. Specialized popcorn topping also helps.combine all the factors and the well popped corn and it's as good as the movie theatre.but in smaller batches. I admit it took several batches (about 10) to find the 'right' popcorn and the right oil.
This little machine does the trick. I love this popper. I found some popcorn salt at my local grocery store, but I've seen the salt and oil sold on Amazon too. I use Orville Reddenbacher oil and popcorn. I've popped up some beautiful, fluffy, yummy popcorn like I haven't been able to do in a pot on the stove. So far I am throughly happy with this lovely little popper. I am a popcorn lover.especially theater popcorn.
