It is the perfect day to cuddle up in my favorite Alabama sweat pants and hoodie with a good classic movie and a bowl of freshly popped popcorn. Of course there are several ways to pop those little corn kernels, but I prefer a popcorn popper over a bag of microwave popcorn. I don’t know if it is because it brings back memories of my dad and my grandpa or if it really does taste better, but man those little puffs of perfection are just what I need today. The other reason I prefer these types of poppers is simple economics. I eat a lot of popcorn. I can eat a box of the microwave stuff in just a couple of weeks. Buying the bag of popcorn kernels without the oil and butter is much cheaper in the long run. I’m all about saving some money. That means I have more money to buy more shoes with!
I have been researching the best reviews of popcorn poppers because my birthday is coming up and my boyfriend needs some ideas. I figure I can drop the hint with this blog. (hint hint)
The first popper is the PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper. This hot air popcorn popper is a small counter top popper that uses hot air, not oil. This is supposed to be healthier and better for you. According to the website this popper pops 18 cups of corn in less than 2.5 minutes. That is a whole lot of popcorn! There is a butter melting cup in the top that can be use as a measuring cup too! This popper has a pretty good price too. The best I have found is $22.49.
The second popper is the PowerPop Microwave Multi-popper. This microwave popcorn popper works with oil or without so I can get that buttery greasy goodness with this one! It pops up to three quarts in about 2.5 minutes…again that is a lot of popcorn! This whole popper is dishwasher safe too! The popper is about 10” wide and 6” tall so it should fit in our little microwave pretty good. This one is a bit cheaper too, $16.49!
Finally, the third popper is the Orville Redenbachers Stirring Popper. Now this is a popcorn popper for the serious popcorn connoisseur. This popper will pop 6 quarts of popcorn and will make kettle corn! I love me some kettle corn!!! This is a counter top model that has a stirring arm inside. There is a built-in melter to distribute butter while it is popping. You can even use the transparent lid as your bowl. There is a non-stick surface for easy cleaning and the lid can be washed in the dishwasher. I was surprised that this popper wasn’t much more expensive. I found it for $32.99!
I think I know which one I want. While I would love to have the Orville Redenbachers Stirring Popper, I think the PowerPop Microwave Multi-popper would suit me better. Now I have to get the boyfriend to get it for me!
