Lehman's Manual Stovetop Popcorn Popper, Stainless Steel Popcorn Maker with Stirring Rod, No Measuring Needed, Doubles as Cooking Pot

Amazon is the only place that will ship this to the UK, so I had to order it form here. However I was sent a defective, used popcorn maker, which is a bit rude for £68. Instead of the round, presumably stainless steel nuts pictured that hold the handle in place, mine just had standard hex nuts, which would no doubt rust if you washed them, and may not be food safe. You could see that the pan had been used, as there were scratches on the bottom of it, and it also had a dent on its base. So now I have to send it back across the Atlantic and order a new one, so a total waste of CO2 as well. Couldn't I just have been sent a new one in the first place, as expected/ordered?!

Ich habe die gleiche Erfahrung gemacht wie Rosie aus UK. Der Chat, der scheinbar mit Hilfe einer Übersetzungsapp erfolgte, war unbefriedigend. Konnte nur den kompletten Topf zurück über den Atlantik schicken. Der Ersatz des Glasdeckels konnte die/der nette MitarbeiterIn aus Indien (?) nicht veranlassen.

Love this so much! No more micro plastic popcorn. Super easy to make popcorn with this as well. So far we have made popcorn using a gas stove and electric stove, both worked perfect fine. This is absolutely worth the money

I've been trying to make good kettle corn at home, but was having a problem with burnt sugar at the bottom just using the "lift and shake" or "swirl" method in a regular pot. I knew the problem was keeping the kernels moving in the oil and sugar mixture, and there are other poppers that can do that, but I needed something that worked on induction which the others don't work with or are very expensive. This popper is the best I could find for a reasonable price that does the job. The only thing I don't like very much is you have to be a bit careful lifting the lid as the mixing rod slips through the hole in the lid and can be a bit jarring if you lift it too quickly. I'm also a bit concerned about the longevity of the mechanism based on other reviews, but I've done several batches and so far so good!

Ótimo produto. Estava a muito tempo buscando uma pipoqueira toda de inox. Essa foi a única que achei. Excelente produto.

Upon trying an Automatic Popcorn Maker which gradually declined in performance after 10 batches or so, I decided to go back to the Stovetop method. This produced the resolution I was looking for, BUT ... shaking the pan over the gas burner during the popping cycle was scratching the bottom of the pan. I decided to try Lehman's Manual Stovetop Popper. I cannot express how impressed I am. It made a perfect batch of popcorn on the second attempt [the first try produced a good batch, but unfortunately some kernels burned on the bottom and was a challenge to scrub clean afterward]. For the second batch, I added a bit more Oil [I use Organic Avocado Oil ordered from Whole Foods] and ensured I let it warm up before swirling the oil to coat the entire bottom and up the sides a bit. I then coated the bottom with a layer of Kernels as directed. Once it began to pop [within about 2 minutes or so on medium heat], I began turning the crank. The vent holes on the lid let just enough steam to escape to ensure a crispy batch of perfectly popped kernels. No burned Kernels at all. The Pot and Lid are easy to clean {sans burned kernels from the first attempt]. It makes a huge batch of Popcorn [about the same amount or more as a large tub at your local theater]. I don't apply butter, but drop half the batch into a large bowl and season with Butter Flavor Powder [Vegan and Low Calorie] and Truffle Salt, then add the remaining kernels from the pot and repeat seasoning. This addictive batch of perfectly popped and seasoned popcorn makes TV time at home pure heaven! If you love your popcorn and are seeking a popper that actually works as advertised ... look no further. This is the one!
