![]() ![]() The well doesn't seem to get hot enough to melt the butter, and then when I flipped the 'bowl' over to eat out of it, the lid on the butter well, doesn't seal, so I had melted butter all over the place. ![]() First of all, I discovered the butter well did not work at all. I like this popper very much, but it did take some trial and error to get things to work just right. I have tried numerous hot air poppers, but they have all been terrible, as one reviewer said, throwing out unpopped kernels and ending up with maybe a small handful of popcorn. I purchased this popper to get myself off the microwave popcorn, which I don't think is very healthy. On the other hand, if you don't mind using another bowl to serve your popcorn, then the butter melting option is GREAT - BUT!! Don't use cold butter, room temperature butter or soft margarine will melt best.Ĭold butter won't finish melting before your popcorn is finished popping. You will not get a tight fit on the lid (the grease makes it not stay put). 6: If you want to use the Cinema Popper's top as a bowl to serve your popcorn, DO NOT USE the top to melt butter/margarine as the corn is popping. 4: Don't cook more than 2/3 cups of Kernels at a time, or the popper will overflow and you'll have a mess.ĥ: For the 'Theater' taste, use Popcorn Salt - for best results, mix this in with the oil prior to starting the popcorn maker. My aunt loves to use Coconut oil, but again watch carefully as Coconut oil has a low smoke point. Peanut Oil, Vegetable Oil, Canola Oil, Olive Oil are all great - avoid using butter as it will burn. If you don't, the kernels will not get the moisture it needs to pop and will just burn. ![]() ![]() No name brands, or even Bulk bin brands (even if Good name) as they tend to be more dry and won't all pop.ģ: USE OIL!!! YOU HAVE to use oil, or this will not work. You will get nice big crunchy popped corn with fewer duds (unpopped kernels). 2: Use Brand Name kernels and you will get optimal results. Also don't leave the cord near anywhere it can burn, melt etc (e.g.Īctive stove burner). When the popping is done, use the switch on the front of the machine. 1: This is usually obvious, but don't pull it out by the cord. There are also a few secrets! Keep a few things in mind when using this popper. I'm amazed of so many bad reviews, people are obviously not following the directions, or are using bad kernels. ![]()
