    I love my Whirly Pop! It actually makes a batch of popcorn faster than any other kind of popper. You can use less oil than the instructions say, and it'll still work well. You can also put butter and salt into it as soon as the popping stops, and turn the crank to distribute them through the warm popcorn. (You should wash it after that, though.)
    I've had my Whirley Pop for a long time, and a couple of years ago the plastic gears on the lid broke. I wrote to the company, and they sent me a whole new lid for free!

    When I was young we would go buy vegetables every Friday night from a man up the road. He would tell us that on Friday night he would have popcorn and tomato juice for dinner. Every once in awhile when I'm feeling a little low I will have popcorn and tomato juice for dinner on a Friday night. It always makes me feel better.

      Why specifically tomato juice? Sounds like a good combo, but I think I'd go with cream o' tomato soup, instead, made with milk, not water. A little grated cheddar mixed into the soup while it's hot. Hmmm, I think that might be dinner tonight.

    I bought the Whirly Popper a couple of years ago and after a lifetime of using different poppers this is hands down the best I've ever seen. It is quick and easy and leaves almost no unpopped kernels. I bought the stainless model and it is easy to clean up too. Using two tablespoons of popping oil and adding a bit of movie popcorn salt directly to the popper produces great popcorn. Last year at Christmas I gave one to each of our families and they all love them too.

    Great review! I read an article somewhere (perhaps Consumer Reports?) about popcorn. It said that the unpopped kernels really had to do with the freshness of the popcorn more than anything else. One might think popcorn could last forever, since it is dried, but it does not. It still contains moisture inside the kernels, which is what makes it pop. It dries out, and then it won't pop. Older packages of popcorn, whether they've been sitting on the grocery store shelves or our own shelves, do not pop as well. Fresher ones do. Thanks for the great video!

    • @Rick-wn5oh
      @Rick-wn5oh 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Using the Whirley pop really does decrease the number of unpopped kernels. You may well be right about kernels being too dry. But I do know the whirley pop does work.

  • @karalee6522
    @karalee6522 6 ปีที่แล้ว +62

    As an avid popcorn eater, I LOVE the whirley pop!! It''s super fast, every kernel ends up popped, and you save the steps having to slide the pot all around or pick it up and swirl it. Best thing to do is throw salt in at the beginning so it actually sticks and comes out all evenly salted...no butter necessary.

    • @emmymade
      @emmymade  6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Ooo...good tip.

    • @StephieStephers
      @StephieStephers 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Kara Lee My favourite is to put a bit of seasoning salt in at the start (for the reason you stated) - and yes, no butter needed! So good. The seasoning salt adds a little something extra :)

    • @karalee6522
      @karalee6522 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I use flavacol to get the movie theater like taste! So yummy

    • @VeryCherryCherry
      @VeryCherryCherry 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I agree definitely! Putting the salt in with the kernels at the beginning is the best way. I find I don't even bother with butter this way.

    You can also buy the butter flavor oils from your local grocery store and use that instead of regular cooking oil and put the popcorn salt in it and it will flavor your popcorn while it pops. That's how I always used my whirley pop

    • @cowboybob7093
      @cowboybob7093 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Try making a pot dry, no oil. You need to keep it moving or some kernels will toast on one side and not pop, but it works pretty much as well as with oil. The gadget would probably be perfect for dry.
      Microwave? I don't have many good things to say about it, it's fun to watch, the smell is inviting.

    • @lovecinnamonxx
      @lovecinnamonxx 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Brian Landers what in the world is low-fat oil? 😂

    • @jbeargrr
      @jbeargrr 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah, no such thing as low-fat oil.
      I grew up popping corn in a cast iron skillet, with a dome-type lid to give it room to bounce around. We always put the oil in first, with a single kernal. As soon as it popped, we dump in the rest of the corn, and put the lid on. It starts popping very quickly, and we shook the pan the whole time it popped. When popping slowed way down, we stopped and dumped it into a big bowl immediately. Can't let it sit in cast iron, it holds the heat, the corn will burn.
      I don't use microwave popcorn, they put all kinds of bad crap in it. I do have an air popper that works great, got it for $1 at a thrift store.

    • @cowboybob7093
      @cowboybob7093 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      jbeargrr, Yeah, the oil/corn together, I didn't get.
      Sure, I mentioned "dry," but oil or dry, it seems adding popcorn to a hot skillet (etc) works best, dry, oil, no matter.

  • @astrid6496
    @astrid6496 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I have one of those and love it! My favourite thing to do is melt butter and (cane) sugar in it before adding the popcorn kernels. It makes the most awesome caramel corn 😀

    • @astrid6496
      @astrid6496 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have made it the way you describe too, but the caramel is a lot thicker and sweeter. It's a completely different taste. When I make it in the kettle, you just get a thin coating and it is just slightly sweetened... You can eat a lot more without getting sick haha. And yes, it can very easily burn. I would be lying if I said I haven't messed up and let it go too long, you really have to stay on top of it the whole time. For me personally it's worth it though, the flavour is incredibly addictive!

      Yeah, saw a program about some boutique popcorn farm and all the different ways popcorn can be served (Korean hot oil and chives... who knew)...
      Anyhoo, Stir Crazy could underwritten the program as they were everywhere. And after getting one, I can see why. Very smartly designed. It may be one-note, but it does that very, very, well.

      @JMcMillen 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not young, so I've had a lot of years to wear them out. Plus, given the smaller size and much lower cost I'd rather keep using a Stir Crazy style popper till it dies then buy a new one. I still haven't spent what one of those oversized commercial ones costs (even the smallest one).

  • @justgonnastay
    @justgonnastay 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Things I have done since I got my Whirly-Pop:
    Made clarified butter kettle corn.
    Used beef tallow as oil (sparingly!) and seasoned with a beef ramen noodle packet.
    Mixed clarified butter and coconut oil, colored with annatto and seasoned with fine salt.
    Bacon grease and seasoned with alder smoked salt.
    Used oil with a touch of chili oil (don't breathe the steam!) and sesame oil, seasoned with Chinese five spice powder.
    Olive oil, seasoned with parmesan cheese and rosemary.
    Pop in oil but season with brown butter and Himalayan pink salt.
    All of these could be done with a pot, sure, but I love the speed and ease of the Whirly-Pop. You never have to wash it unless you make kettle corn in it. You just rinse it with hot water and wipe it out. Anyway, I am a big fan of mine. Your mileage may vary.

    • @leonardpearlman4017
      @leonardpearlman4017 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      These sound like some real popcorn innovations! I have never dreamed of BEEF POPCORN! I happen to have a jar of home-rendered tallow, too. Annato oil or annato lard ("achiotina" in the store) sounds GREAT. Well, a little something to look forward to.

I will never forget the first time I actually got to crank the handle! My dad LOVES popcorn and this thing just sits out on his stove now!

  • @kgrose102
    @kgrose102 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I have one of these and I enjoy it. They also say not to clean it every time just wipe it out with a paper towel because it'll season the pot over time similar to cast iron. For anyone with an electric stove pre heat the element before you put the pot down, it helps make it go fast. I still wish I could find a decent air popper, the one I had before died and it was great.

    • @MissDatherinePierce

    My husbanwaiting and I were sitting here eating popcorn out of our whirly pop kind of pot. So happy you did not give it shame, such a wonderful machine if you eat popcorn like us...we're actually famous in our neighborhood for popcorn, which we make batches and batches of on friday for movie nights!! All out of one pot! (ours is called the "pro popper" but same idea) It's really wonderful! We've had our pot for about 6 year and we bought it at Savers for $3.99! Popcorn lovers unite!!

    I bought one of these at a garage sale that had never been used. I like it fine. The handle gets harder to turn as the popcorn pops but it turns out fine. I use brown butter on my popcorn. Delish!

      I tried olive oils flavored / infused with different flavors: Chili was the best, enough heat that anyone can tell, but not hot enough to keep them from coming back handful after handful. Bacon grease, a guilty pleasure I need to try.

    • @craigchastain7016

      It's also good popped in clarified butter, which has a higher smoke point than most cooking fats. Popcorn cooked IN butter. 2 birds 1 stone.

      @jbeargrr 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Bryce Solar, coconut oil has no flavor, it's the salt and artificial butter flavor that makes movie popcorn taste the way it does.
      Coconut oil is better for you, but it won't taste like movie corn.
      I'd rather put real melted butter on mine, anyway.

      The oil is the flavoring. I've had great results with just canola oil and salt.

    • @MaximRecoil
      @MaximRecoil 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ortzinator You have low standards for what constitutes "great results." Canola oil is practically flavorless, so the only thing you'll taste is salt. In addition to salt, popcorn should also have a butter flavor, which only comes from butter or the chemicals in butter that are responsible for the buttery flavor (diacetyl and acetoin).

  • @valsblackcatsrule8740
    @valsblackcatsrule8740 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a spinner popcorn popper and it has made BUCKETS of pop corn. I crank the heat to high and warm the oil first. Then, add the 1/2 cup of kernals. In less than 2 minutes, we have the best popcorn! Salt and butter to taste. It is a uni-tasker. And, one of the few uni-taskers that we own. But, it fits on top of the cupboard and is used frequently. Best of all, it was a gift! Best price ever! Love your vids. Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!

We usually have a lot of people over for movie nights, so it's faster to make multiple bowls and still have them be hot for everyone!

    I am one of the cooks that love gadgets but feel anything should have more uses than one to be worth the space and investment it requires. I always try to figure out multiple uses for each gadget. This popper looks so fast and easy that I thought it could be worth the space it takes. Perhaps it could be used also to make croutons, just figure out a right temperature and give the spiced bread cubes whirl every couple of minutes. It would be easier than making them on a baking sheet and opening a hot oven door to toss the cubes around. I am sure there would be other ways to use it also.
