Cook N Home 02626 6 Quart Aluminium Stovetop Popcorn Popper Silver

Edit: After over a year of use, I’m still very impressed with the value and quality of this induction ready popcorn cooker. Not only does it make great popcorn, it is very versatile and is great for cooking other things as well like stews, pot roast and deep frying. Also I have had not sign of corrosion or other flaws, even cooking heavy acidic foods tomato sauces, the finish is still flawless after constant use. This pot has been very handy for me as when I first ordered this for my new induction hob, I had just transferred from a gas stove and most all my old pots and pans where rendered useless leaving me with one or two induction skillets and an old cumbersome heavy cast iron dutch oven to cook my meals, so this has made many stews, and batch’s beans and cornbread.As for the almost instant popcorn, I figured out that avocado oil is able to get to a higher temperature before burning and causes the kernels to get much hotter faster then regular oil or ghee. The key is preheating the oil tell it just at it’s smoking point before add the corn in. I have also used ghee and although it gives a much richer real butter flavor, the popping was not as constant with a lot more unpoped kernels and took longer compared to using quality avocado oil.In summery, I can 100% recommend this unit for anyone looking for a quality induction ready cooker. I can see this lasting me for centuries to come.Without question, this is the best popcorn cooker I’ve used! Outstanding quality! The stainless is magnetic and it worked extremely well on my induction hob. And I say extremely well, as the first time using this today, I followed the directions with 3 Tbs oil (Avocado oil), 1/2 cup corn(fresh Orville Redenbacher’s), with a power lvl 7.5 of 10 on the hob, I heated the oil first with just 2 kernels of corn in to tell they popped, so dumped in the 1/2 cup of corn along with 1 Tbs popcorn seasoning salt and cranked away. The cranking was very smooth with the steel gears effectively rotating the staring wire at the bottom of the cooker. I briefly left the lid open before closing it up after dumping in the corn so I could watch the action of the staring wire, and I must say it was really neat watching it spin around keeping all the corn turning. I would say within less than a minute after dumping the corn in and constantly cranking away, I am quite sure that literally every kernel had to have simultaneously popped! It actually startled me it was so sudden, and the pot was completely filled like within 2 seconds to the point I could no longer turn the crank! I’ve been making popcorn for most my life, and have never seen anything like that! I will have to try and do a vid on the next batch and put up on here as I have never seen anything like that! If you have an portable induction hob like mine or true induction stove top range this is a must have for literally instant popcorn.
