Many people go to the movie theater just to eat great tasting popcorn, but only a few know that you can get that yummy movie popcorn taste at home as well.
The best home popcorn machine for this is a Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper, which is a stovetop popcorn maker. It consists of an aluminum pan with a clip on lid, that has a stay-cool handle you turn while popping, which rotates a stirring metal rod inside of your Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper. This stirring system keeps the kernels in motion across the bottom of the Whirley Pop's pan, distributing heat and oil evenly. The steam vents on top of the Whirley Pop Popper lets moisture escape.
First things first, you have to decide how much popcorn you'll want to pop and prepare the ingredients based on the following:
Quarts of Popcorn | Amount of Oil | Amount of Popping Corn
2 |1 tablespoon | 1/3 Cup
4 |2 tablespoon | 2/3 Cup
6 |2 tablespoons | 1 Cup
8 |3 tablespoons | 1 1/4 Cups
Now just do the following:
1. Don't preheat popper or the oil.
2. Mix the required oil and amount of corn in your Whirley Pop Popper and place it onto your stove (either gas or electric) and turn the stove to medium. At this stage you don't need to add any seasoning, just the oil and corn.
3. Slowly and consistently turn the wooden crank, and adjust the stove temperature so popping is complete in about 3 minutes.
4. Rotate the lever during the entire popping process until there is only an seldom pop of about 1 every 3-4 seconds.
5. You need to take the popcorn maker off the stove when the popping is complete.
6. Pour the popcorn into a serving bowl.
7. Pour some butter and sprinkle some salt or popcorn seasoning onto your popcorn and enjoy!
