I got this popcorn maker from Husband this past Christmas. I have never been so thrilled with making popcorn. I know, I'm a bit off, but this thing rocks. My air poppers break down or spit hot unpopped kernels at me, microwave doesn't always get everything popped and I never seem to have brown paper bags to do it in, and the cast iron it too heavy for Small to use it for more than a few moments.Granted this thing squeaks, gears on gears tend to do that. And holding the handle as you crank is a bit awkward, however, you can pop 1/2 cup instead of 1/4 cup of kernels. And with a large boy ratio in the house that is a necessity! For those of you oil-phobic, sorry but you do have to use oil in it, only 2 tablespoons. And it pops all the kernels without burning! Not only that but it only takes 2 minutes to do so. It even fully popped 2 year old stale popcorn (art project). That impressed me.
Since we grow our own, this thing makes actually using up our corn so much easier. Sorry chickens, we seem to be eating more popcorn lately. ok, now this is starting to sound like a very cheap infomercial. If you act now. . .
Now that I got your attention, do me favor and hop over to Old Lightning, Coffee with the hermit or Frugal Queen. Just to say hi or spy on them, which ever you prefer. Those three send so many people my way it's obscene, so I thought I would repay them the favor. They each have different yet wonderful blogs. Be it you are into survival, politics, going on's or saving money one of these are for you.
