Delightful for the Grandchildren West Bend 82306 Compare

I am a popcorn nut, always striving to make the perfect popcorn. I special order movie theater popcorn from someplace in Idaho just to get the best. I have neither the money nor the space for a commercial corn popper (even the home versions of these are big and hundreds of dollars). When I read about the West Bend Stir Crazy, I had to try it. I can honestly say it makes the best home popped popcorn I have ever had. First of all, because of the stirring rod it requires significantly less oil, which is healthier. It pops a big batch very quickly and with almost no kernels left unpopped. I have even used grocery store popcorn on occasion with similar results.

The machine is very easy to clean. I have had mine for a year and a half and it is still in excellent condition. I find that the vents on top do not melt the butter fast enough so I microwave my butter. The stirring rod also makes noise sometimes if it's not screwed on properly and has scratched a ring in the nonstick surface, but this has not interfered with performance so I don't worry about it. I bought one of these for my best friend last year and they loved it too, and this year I am buying one for my dad. The price may seem high, but it's worth it. This will probably be the last popcorn popper you ever need to buy! Trust me, airpopped and microwave popcorn do not compare! I make popcorn for everyone who visits and it always gets raves.

I also had an original MADE IN THE USA model that lasted for 20 years. Yes 20 years. (it replaced The Joe Namath stir crazy popper that had a cracked dome)The reason I had to replace my 20 yr old model, is the motor finally went out. I bought a new stir crazy, it was made in china of course and the motor in it went out in 9 months! Assuming I just got unlucky I bought a new one and its still running. Regardless there is no finer popper for home use!

Let me tell you a WestBend Stir crazy secret. To pop almost all the kernels and have non-greasy popcorn follow these instructions. First put the oil in your popper and plug it in without putting on the dome lid. Sprinkle 2 0r 3 kernels in the popper. Have your corn for consumption in a measuring cup ready to go. Once the oil has reached temperature and the sprinkled kernels pop. Pour in you kernels from the measuring cup. By doing this the oil heats up faster and the kernels absorb less grease. Thus more popped kernels and less oil absorbed!! It also pops in less time because the oil heats up quicker without the mass of kernel in the oil at startup.
