Question 1

Where is this product made?

Accepted Answer

I would assume somewhere over seas but it doesn't matter imo. It's good quality and makes very tasty popcorn. I use butter oil to cook the kernels in and as a topping.

Question 2

Is the popcorn maker magnetized

Accepted Answer

The stainless version I purchased from Amazon is magnetic and works well on our induction cooktop.

Question 3

Are the gears made of plastic or metal? All these poppers look the same.  We had one that looked like this but the plastic gears didn't last long.

Accepted Answer

The gears are metal. Do not let that fool you into thinking that this is a quality product. The fit on the parts is horrible. It took 15 - 20 minutes of bending pieces to make it work acceptably -- the gears did not mesh properly and would slip if there was any resistance. And the stirrer did not reach the bottom of the pan, so it skipped over the popcorn. Buy an original Whirley Pop. Last time I checked, it was the same price. We had one for 15+ years. The only reason we replaced it with this product was because the lid's hinge broke. The nylon gears still showed NO wear after all that usage. I ended up buying some small galvanized hinges to repair the Whirley Pop and tossed the Cook N Home in storage.

Question 4

My popper's stirring rod doesn't reach far down enough to stir the kernels, so the popcorn comes out burnt. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Accepted Answer

Have not experienced the issue you have. Mine works perfectly in that respect, the rod is of length it should be however, I sometimes need to adjust the 2 sweeps connected at the bottom of the rod that stirs the kernels. Perhaps you can try that to solve you issue. Otherwise I would contact the seller and send it back providing your purchase date is within the AMAZON return window. It's a great popper and is significantly better than the thin bottom aluminum poppers I have been purchasing every couple of years since the 90's. I am on my second one like this and the only issue I have is the inside bottom of the popper stains with oil and heat.
