Cook N Home 02626 6 Quart Aluminium Stovetop Popcorn Popper Silver

Fantastic! I’ve been using this style of popcorn popper for years! This my ninth rotation style stovetop popper in over 20 years (we’ve replaced quite a few over the years, they don’t last forever). It makes fantastic popcorn, quickly and easily! So far this popper has proven to be better than any of the models I’ve tried previously. It’s relatively sturdy and for no reason I can discern, comes clean a little easier (it's not easy to clean, but easier than other similar poppers). We pop popcorn almost every day at our house and so far this one has been a workhorse!PROS:1. Pops a batch of popcorn in a FLASH!2. Super easy to use.3. Rotating arm prevents burned kernels (I still manage to burn a few from time to time, but only when I walk away and don't spin the arm constantly).4. Seems to pop almost every kernel as opposed to simply using a large saucepan.5. Sturdier than some other models.CONS:1. Doesn't stand up to dishwasher cleaning, and is a little bit of a pain in the behind to clean.2. Can get a little misshapen and become warped if it gets too hot or you put water in/on it while it's still hot.3. Kind of pricey for a popcorn popper (well worth it, in my opinion, but it is kind of spendy.TIPS:1. If you char some kernels in the bottom of the pan, or it just starts to get difficult to clean, use Barkeeper’s Friend (with a Brillo or SOS pad if it's REALLY bad)...it works wonders on these poppers.2. Set your heat just under medium high and almost every kernel will pop, without scorched bits or smoking and burning.BOTTOM LINE: I have tried every style of popcorn popper out there over the years, and not only does this style top the list, but this particular model is one of the best of its type that I've used. Worth it!

This Cook N Home 6 quart popcorn popper is so easy to use. It creates delicious homemade popcorn in a matter of minutes on the stove. I think k it will hold up well. Easy to clean. I highly recommend

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.
