A 6-quart electric popcorn popper that has a metal rod that stretches across
the middle of the area where you put oil and raw popcorn kernels. As the
unit heats, the rod is turned by a motor, stirring the popcorn and oil
around. It pops 6 quarts of popcorn in about 5 minutes. The lid of the
unit is also the serving bowl. If you choose, you can put butter into a
reservoir in the bottom of the bowl, and it will get melted and drip evenly
onto the popped corn.
I had one of these poppers for over 15 years, and it finally gave out a
month ago. I found them at
www.amazon.com
for about $28, while they were about $50 at other places. The manufacturer
is West Benz.

Subject: [CnD] popcorn questions and curiosities
When you pop popcorn in an electric popper or on the stovetop, do you
notice a difference in the taste if you use different oils? If so, what
is your preference based solely on taste? Have you found a difference
among brands of popcorn? What is your preference and why?
I am impressed with the popcorn from the Great Northern Popcorn Company.
It all pops, it pops bigger, and you use less to make a batch. It costs
a bit more, but not when you consider the yield. A 1/2 cup of corn is
said to make 4 quarts, but it will darn near fill a 6-quart bowl if you
are using a Stir Crazy popper. If I use the same amount of Jolly Time
popcorn, it all will pop, but will only fill the bowl to about 2 thirds
full, which is probably an accurate 4 quarts.
