Did you know that so many people go to the movies just to eat movie theater popcorn? Yes, its true, but only a few people know that there is an alternative to having to go to the movies for popcorn. You can get the same yummy taste at home! I've found that the best home popcorn popper for this is the Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker, which is a stovetop popper. Its durable aluminum pan has a clip-on top, which has a stay-cool handle attached to it. Once you fire it up, you have to turn the handle, which rotate a rod in the pan. This rotating rod makes sure that all kernels receive an equal amount of oil and heat. The Whirley Pop has steam shafts on its lid, which allows steam to escape, keeping your popcorn free of excess moisture. First of all, you'll need to prepare the ingredients, based on the amount of popcorn you want to have in the end: 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 And follow the following steps: 1. There is no need to preheat the popper or the oil. 2. Put the Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker and the above ingredients onto stove (either electric or gas, it makes no difference) and turn it to medium heat. Don't add any seasoning yet, just the oil and corn. 3. Slowly rotate the lever, and adjust the stove temperature so popping finishes after approximately 3 min. 4. Rotate the wooden lever during the entire cooking process until there is only an seldom pop of about 1 every 3-4 seconds. 5. Take the popcorn maker off the stove immediately. 6. Pour the popcorn into a serving bowl. 7. Sprinkle with salt, butter or popcorn seasoning and enjoy! Whirley Pop Popcorn Popping Tips * Medium heat is plenty, setting it too high will burn the popcorn and leave many kernels unpopper. * 1-2 tablespoons of oil is plenty. * Use quality 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 Popcorn Maker will be much healthier than movie theater popcorn, because they add lots of "secret" ingredients to their recipes, which generally consist of artificial ingredients. If you want a virtually zero calorie popcorn treat, go for a hot air popper, as it uses revolving air to pop the kernels instead of oil. The result will be a fibre rich snack, but it won't have the same taste. You can prepare seasoning and sprinkle it on, even add some butter at the end, but it won't have the same movie taste.
