Many popcorn lovers go to the movie theater just to eat great tasting popcorn, but only a few know that you can get that delicious movie popcorn taste at home as well.
If you want movie theater style popcorn in your home as well, I would recommend the Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker. This home popcorn popper is a stovetop popcorn popper, which is a simple, yet great kitchen accessory. It is made up of an aluminum pan with a clip on lid, that has a stay-cool handle attached to it, which you turn. The rod in turn rotates a stirring dasher inside of the Whirley Popper’s pan, which makes sure that all popping corn kernels stay in motion during the popping process, and are recieving an equal amount of heat and oil. The Whirley Popcorn Maker also has steam vents on its lid, which lets moisture escape.
So prepare your Whirley Pop, decide how many people will be enjoying movie popcorn at home, and prepare the ingredients:
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. There is no need to preheat the popper or the oil.
2. Put the Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper and the above ingredients onto stove (either gas or electric, it makes no difference) and turn it to medium heat. Don’t add any seasoning yet, just the corn and oil.
3. Slowly and consistently turn the wooden crank, and adjust the stove temperature so popping is complete in about 3 minutes.
4. Rotate the wooden lever during the entire popping process until there is only an seldom pop of about 1 every 3-4 seconds.
5. Take the Whirley Pop Popper off the stove immediately.
6. Pour the popcorn into a serving bowl.
7. Sprinkle with salt, butter or popcorn seasoning and enjoy!
Tips on Using Your Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper
* Don’t set the heat too high, medium heat is enough.
* 1-2 tablespoons of oil is plenty.
* Quality corn will taste better than cheap corn.
And there you have it! Its time to enjoy your home made move popcorn, all it takes is a couple minutes of preparation. And the good news is that popcorn made with your Whirley Pop Popper will be much healthier than movie theater popcorn, because they add lots of “secret” ingredients to their recipes, which generally consist of artificial ingredients.
You might also want to try a an air popper if you are very concerned about your diet. Hot air poppers utilize very hot, rotating air to pop the corn instead of hot oil, thereby keeping the calorie and saturated fat count to a minimum. Add some salt, butter or seasoning at the end, but know that every extra ingredient changes the nutritional values of your snack, and not for the better. But if you want that movie theater taste, you will deffinitelly want to try a Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker.
