  • In this video I show you how use the Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper by Wabash Valley Farms. It's the spirit of the old fashioned way of popping corn in a cast iron skillet on the stove top. Many popcorn poppers these days, including microwave popcorn, leave behind un-popped or under cooked kernels. This popper is easy to use and creates that "movie theater popcorn experience". Simple to clean and easy storage.
    Shopping List:
    Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper by Wasbash (Available at some local stores and/or online)
    1-2 tbsp. high temp oil like yellow pure coconut popping oil, Canola or vegetable. (the yellow coconut is the preferred type for authentic movie theater popcorn, usually only available online)
    1/2 cup yellow popcorn kernels
    Butter, melted
    Generous sprinkle of Flavacol popcorn flavoring salt (Available at local restaurant supply and./or online)
    Popcorn Tips:
    Make sure your popper has well ventilation for steam to escape. Excess steam makes your popcorn chewy and tough. Making sure to empty the popcorn into an open bowl immediately after popping helps to prevent prevent the popcorn being exposed to excess steam.
    Prevent over-popping and burning by counting to two as the popping slows. If you don't hear a pop in two seconds it's ready to be removed from the heat.
    Another way to prevent your popcorn from becoming soggy and tough is don't use to much oil. A 3:1 ration is preferred. (as an example, if you use 1/3 cup of kernels, use 1 1/2 tbsp of oil.
    Directions:
    First time use: wash and season the pot per the instruction manual.
    Place the Whirley Pop on the stove burner with the heat off.
    Add the popcorn and oil through one of the two hinge lids. Close the lid.
    CAUTION: DO NOT USE BUTTER TO POP THE POPCORN. IT WILL SMOKE AND BURN!!!!!
    Turn the heat to medium to medium high, depending on your stove.
    Immediately start cranking the handle while holding onto the other stability handle. Crank speed is not important as long as you are steadily cranking.
    Complete popping is usually achieved in less than 3 minutes. When you hear pops 2-3 seconds apart and feel handle resistance stop cranking and remove from the heat.
    Open the lids to allow steam to escape and let stand for a couple of minutes before eating to prevent sogginess and to assure crunch.
    Sprinkle with the Flavacol salt or regular salt and shake to thoroughly coat and drizzle with melted butter, if desired.
    Pour into serving bowls and enjoy.

    The Flavacol can be add to the melty oil before the kernels go in... this gives the popcorn better COLOR out of the gate.

      That would seem like it'd make for a better distribution of the salt. I've been adding it after it's done popping by trying to sprinkle it evenly through the half open lid as I turn the crank to distribute it. It generally works okay, but letting it scatter around from the popping action seems like it'd work better to get it all evenly distributed.

    Don’t add flavacol after. Add with oil. He does it a terrible way:) and be careful a quarter teaspoon goes a long way. Can easily make it too salty.

  • @cjhetle
    @cjhetle 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Actually, it's is best (an recommended) that you heat your oil at medium temp with 2 or 3 kernels. When these kernels pop, add the rest of the kernels (this really helps to keep the popcorn from getting sogged).

    I use butter all the time in mine and has never burned. I chalk that up to pure slop. The popcorn with the butter turns out great.
    I have tried oil and the popcorn comes out tasting terrible for me. It is very bland and nasty.
    Now, I know this is operator error on both spectrums for me. You can't have everyone successfully popping popcorn in oil and not me. And you can't have me turning out good tasting popcorn cooked in butter and not anyone else.
    So, I am going to try the Franklin coconut oil for the whirley pop popcorn maker until I get it right.

    • @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN
      @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good to know. I've heard from several where they burned it. Have you tried the type of oil used by theatres and sports arenas? I use Snappy's and it doesn't leave an aftertaste and it turns all the popcorn yellow. I get it from Amazon. I melt the butter then pour it over the popcorn in sections as I'm adding it to the bowl.

      You did a great job in your video for sure.
      As for cooking with butter, it is turning brown for sure. But, it is still tasting very good to me. We grew up eating parched corn and popcorn in a cast iron skillet cooked in butter. So, we might not know any different. When I compare the popcorn cooked in butter to normal theater popcorn, mine tastes pretty good. Plus, my son likes it cooked in the butter too.

    • @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN
      @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I haven't tried Franklin's. I've seen it, but I'm just sticking with what I've used for a long time. As far as the butter thing, butter will burn at temps above 350 degrees, which is considered a moderate temperature, but different stoves vary so sometimes it's hard to pinpoint what temp it is other than guess work and trial and error. Brown is okay, but care must be taken as it gets darker from there. Alot of science involved, but basically it's the milk solids breaking down form the heat. I pop at number 8 on my stove, which is considered medium high, too hot for butter. For me, I just find that butter taste better melted at a medium low heat then pouring over the PC. I melt mine in the wave for 10 seconds then pour over the popcorn. But it's what ever works for everybody. Thanks again so much for watching.

Be sure to pour the batter in the center of each waffle square, not the center of the iron like the novice that posted the scorched waffles photo. About a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter in each seemed to work well for us. We tested making just one at a time so we could use all the remaining batter and it made it just as fluffy and golden as when we made 4!

      Just depends on how much butter you like on it. I tend to like lots! Prolly about 3 tbsp. What I do is gradually add 1/4 of the popcorn from the Whirley Pop into a large bowl then drizzle some of the melted butter on that layer then so on and so on. Thanks for watching.

      Sure! There are several options. You can do it without oil on the stovetop or put the kernels into a brown paper sack for the microwave or get an air popper, which are cheap. I'm sure you can also doit with the Whirley Popper too. Thanks so much for watching.

    If perchance the nylon gears get degraded by the heat or use over time, is it possible to retrofit them with the presumably more durable steel gears available on some models?
    I see there are hex set screws holding them on, are the metal ones the same?
    Are there any advantages to having the nylon gears vs metal?

    • @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN
      @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've had my Whirley Pop Original, which comes with nylon gears, for years now and the gears are showing no wear with almost daily use. However, they do make a model with metal gears. Should the nylon gears wear out, there are replacement lids that are interchangeable with either 6 quart pot, which are roughly $11-12 so buying a whole new pot is not necessary.

    • @wingerrrrrrrrr
      @wingerrrrrrrrr 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN that's good, I wasn't sure if the nylon gears would hold up that long from some reports that they failed. Maybe those were due to forcing the crank after the popcorn was popped and hanging up the stirrers, while they were heated up.
      Sounds like they're fine with proper handling then.

    • @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN
      @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Perhaps. IDK. I've seen some videos where people are cranking it so hard and fast. That's not necessary. A slow turning is all that's needed just to keep the kernels moving so they don't burn. But, yes, if you try to force-turn after all kernels have popped, it will cause stress on the gears.

    • @dubmob151
      @dubmob151 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The manufacturer told me the metal gears are pressed in rather than held in by set screws like the nylon gears are, so there's no way to retrofit to metal. Shouldn't matter if cranking force is limited to reasonable levels, so it ought to be fine. I also make sure it isn't overheated, so it won't melt it down.

    • @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN
      @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have always loved microwave popcorn, but haven't been able to eat it in about 15 years dues to a colon issue. For some reason it always ripped me a new one with bad bloating etc. Recently I was surfing around and started finding many sites about how store-bought microwave popcorn is so unhealthy due to the many additives in it, even the bag itself. Accordingly, they conclude it can cause diseases of the lung and thyroid and even some forms of cancer. So that got me to wondering especially since in 1999 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Perhaps it was that type of popcorn that also was causing my stomach issues. So I started looking into other ways to make it such as air popping, skillet or homemade microwave kind. I made a video a couple of weeks ago of how to make natural and healthier microwave popcorn. I've had it just about every night since and so far no stomach issues. Then I found the Whirley Pop stovetop popper, which I had last night. And again, no stomach issues. All that to say I will never eat another bag of store-bought microwave popcorn.
