Looking for a hot air popcorn popper?
|
When sitting watching your favorite show or movie at home what could be nicer than sitting down with a great big bowl of popcorn as well. However, instead of putting a bag of popcorn into the microwave why not invest in one of the many hot air popcorn poppers now available. The great thing about using a hot air popcorn popper is that it makes a low calorie great tasting snack in a matter of minutes.
So what reasons are there for purchasing these types of popcorn makers over the kinds that use oil? Below we take a look at just some of the reasons.
Reason 1 – As oil isn’t required to create the kernels of corn to pop as mentioned above the final product doesn’t have so many calories. So if you want a great tasting snack when dieting this will be ideal for you.
Reason 2 – You may think that making popcorn in a microwave is quick, it isn’t as quick as it would be using one of these machines. Usually when making popcorn in a microwave it takes up to around 10 minutes and not all the kernels in the bag will pop. However using an electric popcorn popper you can have a great tasting snack in around 3 minutes. Plus you will find that far less of the kernels remain unpopped.
Above we have shown you a couple of reasons for buying a hot air popcorn popper, now let’s look at some makes and models to consider buying.
1. Presto 04821 Orville Redenbacher Hot Air Popcorn Popper
This machine by Presto has the ability to allow you to in 2.5 minutes make as many as 18 cups of great fluffy tasting popcorn. Although you can eat it plain or with salt if you want to add a little sweetness to yours then the measuring cup provided can be used for melting butter in. All you need to do is put in the amount of butter that you want to melt that is at room temperature is added to it as the kernels are popping. Also make sure that you keep the lid on the popper whilst it is doing the work of popping the kernels else they will end up flying all over the place. As for taking care of your machine the cup and plastic cover can be removed and using warm soapy water will have them looking good once more in a matter of minutes.
2. Toastess TCP-388 Hot Air Popcorn Popper
Again like the other old fashioned popcorn maker discussed in this article it allows you to make great tasting healthy popcorn in just a few minutes. As with the other model discussed the TCP-388 by Toastess comes with a see through chute that as soon as the kernels have popped sends them into the bowl placed below. Again the measuring cup can be used for melting butter as well and to do this put the desired amount of butter into it and then place it into its place in the lid. Compared to other models you may find that because of its special air flow system you will find that the popcorn produced in this hot air popcorn popper is much puffier.
