Many popcorn lovers go to the movies just to eat great tasting popcorn, but only a few know that you can get that yummy movie popcorn taste at home as well.

The best home popcorn maker for this is a Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker, which is a stovetop popcorn maker. It consists of an aluminum pan with a clip on lid, that has a stay-cool handle you rotate while popping, which rotates a stirring dasher inside of your Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper. This stirring system keeps the kernels in motion across the bottom of the Whirley Pop’s pan, distributing oil and heat evenly. The steam vents on top of the Whirley Pop Popper 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 Good Quality 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. Neither the popper, nor the oil need to be preheated.

2. Place the above ingredients into your Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper and put the popper onto your gas or electric stove. Turn the stove to medium heat, and do not add any seasoning (butter, salt, seasoning mix) yet, just the corn and oil.

3. Slowly and consistently turn the crank, and adjust the stove temperature so popping is finished in about 3 minutes.

4. Turn the wooden lever through the entire popping process until there is only an occasional pop every 2-3 seconds.

5. Take the Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker off the stove immediately.

6. Pour the popcorn into a serving bowl.

7. Sprinkle with salt, butter or popcorn seasoning and enjoy!

Some Advice on Using Your Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker

* Medium heat is plenty, setting it too high will burn the popcorn and leave many kernels unpopper.

* 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 a hot air if you are very concerned about your diet. 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 Popper.
