How To Find the Best Popcorn Popper

The first step to buying the right popcorn popper is to make up your mind on the type of popcorn maker you need. There are a few choices including stovetop poppers and oil popcorn poppers but there is near consensus among popcorn lovers that hot air poppers are the ultimate choice. These little machines heat up corn kernels with the help of a heater fan. The exloping kernels fly out of the unit and fall into a bowl or whatever you are holding in front of the popcorn popper. No oil is involved in this method so this is by far the healthiest choice.

Now that we have made it clear that hot air popcorn poppers are in many ways, better than other popcorn making devices, it is time to discuss how you pick the right hot air popcorn popper out of the countless models on the store shelves. This can prove to be a tricky choice because there is one crucial feature that puts some popcorn poppers ahead of others and it is not something the product description will honestly tell you. The key feature I am referring to is whether the unit can really make popcorn without making a mess or burning itself. However surprising it may sound, it is not uncommon to come across somebody who complains about a hot air popcorn popper sending raw kernels flying across the room while burning other kernels because of overheating. Sometimes hot air poppers can even simply quit altogether. Some of these problems are caused by people who do not know how to use these devices. Yet, sometimes it is because the popcorn maker was not designed well. The question is how you discern a good hot air popcorn popper from one that does not really work.

There is one excellent way to find out about the performance of various air popcorn poppers and find the best one. You can do that by searching the internet for popcorn popper reviews and reading reviews that were written by disinterested expert reviewers. This will give you more than enough information to make the best choice about the popcorn maker that will hopefully let you enjoy many bowls of delicious popcorn.
