Aluminum 6 Qt Whirley-Pop Popcorn Popper

Two tablespoons EVOO, two tablespoons of kernels (Tiny but Mighty) and 3.5 minutes later: one great bowl of popcorn. This is fun to use. The directions are clear, concise and so easy to follow. Try it and I’ll bet you’ll be hooked.

I absolutely love this product. I love using it to make popcorn. It helps to mix the butter and the flavoring while allowing the popcorn to pop evenly and not burn. If you have popcorn, I highly recommend this item. I use it at least twice a week. Easy to clean.

We bought this standard WHIRLEY-POP stovetop pocorn popper, model 25008, which is a fairly thin pan made of rolled aluminum, hand-powered by a wooden handle and crank that "whirls" popcorn and oil, boxed along with instructions and a sample of the maker's popcorn, popcorn salt and popcorn oil. Our first outing used the sample provided; per instructions we had seasoned the pan with a little oil and the actual "whirling" took only about three minutes before we had a pan full of popcorn that tasted a great deal like movie-theater popcorn and yielded practically no "old maids." In essence this product looks a little like, and acts very much like, a smaller version of a cinema popcorn maker, right down to the two hinged semicircular lids on top -- one side is unclasped and will pour popped corn out without fiddling with the popper, the other side is pinned down but can be released. The second time out we made a half-order (three quarts, which is still a lot) with half measures of Pop Secret white popping corn and our own canola oil; this we dressed in a little liquid Parkay (blue bottle) and table salt. This took even less time because the quantity was less. Again, there were next to no "old maids" and the popcorn was just as fresh and crisp, but lacked that certain movie-theater taste. (On the other hand, canola oil is better for people than the coconut oil usually used in movie-theater mixtures.) All in all, the Whirley-Pop provided a nearly optimum experience for popping corn, and in a hurry. The best advice I can give is to read the manufacturer's instruction booklet, which comes packed with the unit. We use a gas range and had no trouble achieving medium heat in an instant; note that electric ranges may need a slightly higher setting but aluminum this thin should not be left on a heating electric unit, or a cooling one: it can melt. Really the price of the Whirley-Pop is quite reasonable and the popping time, if anything, is even lower than microwave popcorn, to which we have said goodbye.

This has got to be the best popcorn maker on the planet, or anywhere else for that matter. We love popcorn and used to drag out an old frying pan to pop it in, with mixed results. Seemed the only place to get good popcorn was at the theater but we watch all our favorite movies at home. We tried "air" poppers and healthy or not I'd rather eat an old newspaper. We contemplated an electric unit but didn't want yet another large appliance taking up counter or cupboard space and I don't like that some have teflon coating that eventually will flake off. Then came Whirley-Pop. Our first batch was made using the sample theater pack shipped with the unit. It was delicious and yes just like at the movies. For the second batch we used the usual Orville's brand popcorn and oil which produced the best results we have ever had with this brand. If you love popcorn don't waste your money and time on expensive electric poppers. Get a Whirley-Pop. It's easy to use, easy to clean and makes the best popcorn you've ever had. Just follow directions closely and do not use high heat. On our electric range we use #6 on a #1 through #10 knob scale, but I don't recommend going above #7. Begin using the stirring crank immediately and stir until the crank starts to show some resistance but do not force it ( I suspect this is how some people break the gear). By this time the popping will have begun to slow and you can remove the unit from the heat and it will finish with a few more pops. Pour out the popcorn into your favorite bowl and allow it to sit for a couple minutes. Simply wipe out the pan with a paper towel and store it for reuse. I usually wash the lid and crank mechanism using dish soap. Now making popcorn is fast, easy and delicious, I wish I had bought this a long time ago.

Works great; replaces one 20 years old.

Por fin palomitas buenísimas! Fàcil de hacer y limpiar. La pega es que no funciona en inducción... Por lo demás perfecto!

Fantastic. We’ve taken this on our weekly picnics in the park this summer (we used a gas camping stove we had with us) in our Covid bubble of 11 individuals. Can’t tell you how popular we were!! We began bringing paper lunch bags so we could safely share it with children who would approach our picnic area when they realized we were making fresh popcorn. It really is exceptional that even during Covid times, we could surprise and delight children in this manner. Don’t ask: we sanitized our hands and maintained social distancing by leaving the bags on a chair away from our table. :) This popcorn maker is the best because it is made with metal gears (just like the one I have owned for years). Don’t fall for the cheaper version with plastic gears. On a less important note, my old popper is a plain metal colour, whereas this one is a vibrant Ferrari red. It’s beautiful to look at too!! I have bought five of these this summer to gift. Two couples brought their poppers to Italy when they were finally able to travel home. It’s been a hit over there as well! By the way, I also had Flavacol (flavouring) to add to our batches. We also use coconut oil and Orvil R kernels. Perfect popcorn.

These really are as good as their reputation says. Buy one and see for yourself. It's easy to use, and results in better popcorn than I've ever manage through any other method. I did make one alteration to make it work even better: I drilled a bunch of small vent holes in the lid so steam could exact more easily. It's not necessary, but it makes the popcorn just a little more fluffy and airy, and less chewy that way.

Il segreto è nel coperchio, che grazie al suo meccanismo permette di non far aderire il mais al fondo della pentola e grazie all' apertura laterale permette di visionare lo stato di scoppio dei pop. Di negativo nonostante la pubblicità filo Usa, il prodotto è un made in china. Altra nota negativa che il pentolame di base è di alluminio. Il coperchio si potrebbe utilizzare su una pentola di acciaio inox, il tutto funziona benissimo producendo pop in 3 minuti. In definitiva lo consiglio per il solo utilissimo coperchio che non è, almeno di alluminio.
