5.0 out of 5 stars Great Northern Popcorn Popper (Excellent!)
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Yup, The Great Northern stove-top popcorn popper is a well made popper. The pot has relatively thick walls, and might be slightly thicker at the bottom. The top is of equally good construction and latches on in such a way that it's quite unlikely to fall off unintentionally. The gears that connect the horizontal crank handle to the vertical stirring rod are pretty beefy, and they're beveled so they ought to last.I would also like to mention how the gears are attached to the shaft, which is not only with a grub-screw/set-screw (hex head), but both the shaft and center of the gears are threaded. I found this out when the stirrer was just a smidge higher than I liked, so noticing the set-screw, I decided to see if it was adjustable. I'm happy to report it's easily adjustable, just simply loosen the set-screw and turn the shaft in either direction. I noticed it's easier to turn if you use the legs of the stirrer to gently get leverage.The only thing I can add is that before I grabbed this popper, I was using my wife's pasta pot, with a strainer in the lid as it was perfect for letting out steam, plus the lid locked in place. I was used to having to let it sit on the bigger electric burner of my hot plate (my gas was shut off because I couldn't afford it) for a full minute and a half before it would start popping. After it started popping, I would have to lift it and shake it every 5 seconds or so before placing it back on the burner. With this new popper, it takes (maybe) 30 seconds to start popping, and it'll even pop using the small burner just fine. The latter wasn't possible with the other pot!It's worth every cent if you make popcorn, even once-in-a-while! Just get it if you're on the fence.
5.0 out of 5 stars Popcorn perfection!
I love this popcorn popper!!! I've been using it a couple of times a week for over a month now, and no problems whatsoever, other than "user error." The first week I used it, I followed the instructions and started out on medium heat on my electric range. I popped corn twice that week, and it turned out absolutely delicious and crunchy, with not even one unpopped kernel. The next weekend, I forgot to start out on medium heat, and used my "over-easy egg" temperature of medium-high instead. Big mistake! I had a small volume of totally black popcorn, and a house full of smoke. I scrubbed forever, and never did get all the burnt popcorn off the bottom of the pan. Nevertheless, the pan still works great and I have popped perfect popcorn every week since then with no trouble whatsoever, and not a single old maid yet.I didn't experience any problems with a loose lid. In fact, it was quite difficult to snap on when I first received the popper, and I resolved never to remove it. However, I had to remove it after the burnt corn incident, and have removed it to wash it thoroughly several times since then, and have had no problems reattaching the lid. No problem with both sides popping open when pouring the popcorn out either. I love the solid, sturdy stainless steel construction, not to mention the fact that I don't have to worry about leached aluminum. I listened to another reviewer and only turn the crank clockwise, and have had no problems with the cranking mechanism either.I don't understand the methods of those who claim it takes 15 minutes to pop their corn either. I use just barely a tablespoon of oil to 1/3 to 1/2 cup of kernels, set it on the burner, cranking occasionally until I hear the oil start to sizzle. As soon as I hear a kernel pop, I turn the crank continually, and have a pot full of perfect popcorn within less than 2 minutes of that time.In the old days, we popped corn in a kettle by shaking it over the burner. Very tiring and noisy! With mixed results. Also, hard on those electric ranges! Mine now wouldn't stand up to that friction without the burner becoming detached. The crank makes popping corn a breeze! Later on, I received an air popper as a gift, and decided very shortly that air-popped popcorn wasn't even worth eating. I tried microwave popcorn quite a few times, and found it fairly tasty, but have issues with the health concerns of both the chemical coatings of the bag and the effects of microwaving. Haven't owned a microwave in over two decades. At that point, we switched to Jiffy Pop, which I actually liked quite a bit. However, the results were very uneven. We always had tons of old maids, and frequent burned popcorn or low volumes. Finally, I switched to pre-popped organic popcorn in the bag. This stuff, I actually like quite a bit, especially the cheddar variety. And nothing is easier than just opening a bag and pouring melted butter over it. However, I wanted to be more sure that I was getting organic corn and to be able to buy my own organic toppings.I was actually shocked at how much better popcorn from this popper is than the organic pre-popped. Or anything else I've tried. It rivals and beats out the theatre popcorn, which now has so many additives that it tastes artificial and makes my mouth burn. This popcorn is so much crunchier and tastier!I tried it with organic coconut oil the first two times, but didn't like the flavor. Also tried it with the Amish popcorn, which was OK, but I prefer yellow popcorn. Since then, I have been popping the Eden Organic popcorn, also available on Bolo, and using corn oil. I top it with plenty of fresh butter from pasture-grazed cows, Frontier organic cheddar cheese powder, which I also bought from Bolo, and Himalayan sea salt. Absolute popcorn heaven! Now all I have to do is find some organic corn oil.I must say I treasure this popper so much that I have ordered another one, so that I can have a pristine one without all the black burnt spots on the bottom. After being spoiled by the ease of pre-popped popcorn, I thought it would be too much of a chore for me to ever pop my own on a regular basis, and continued to have my doubts after I ordered this popper. But this is so incredibly easy and so quick, and so incredibly tasty, that I am sure I will never eat any other popcorn again! I've doubled my popcorn consumption since I received it, but feel great about eating a healthy snack popped to perfection!
5.0 out of 5 stars Best Popper I've Ever Used
I finally wore a hole in the bottom my old aluminum popcorn maker like this one. It was light and conducted heat very well so I was skeptical about this one being made of stainless steel. It took two or three uses of this new one to get used to it, it was heavier and just a little slower heating up, but these minor negatives are easily offset by the features it has: 1: the stainless steel handles the high heat I like to use much better than the aluminum. The popped corn is less likely to burn and there is no more scrubbing burned on carbon like I always had to do with the aluminum pot. 2. This pot is extremely well made. The pot is a little heavier but the lid is very well secured and is almost impossible to detach while shaking during popping unlike the old one where I had to be careful the pot didn't fall off when handling it. 3. It is very well constructed,; set screws on the bevel gears, easy to clean stainless steel, and has a very solid handle/spinner. 4.. I'm not sure if the lid is stainless but it is heavy duty, and finally, the pot holds maybe 20% more popped corn so when I make my normal amount it dumps out easily and not all packed in like the old popper. 5.Much easier to clean.This popper is much heavier than the aluminum ones and I'm up in years and not very strong so it takes more effort to hold & dump it with one hand, so keep this in mindI make popcorn 4 - 5 times a week and I wish I bought this years ago. Get the stainless steel one. This popper is well worth the money!
Excellent popcorn maker

Bester Popcorn maker
Das ist der beste Popcornmaker überhaupt, ich hab mehrere probiert aber bei diesem wird das popcorn so wie es sein soll, es verbrennt nicht und es bleiben nur 2-3 Körnchen übrig TOP wer Popcorn liebt soll sich dieses Gerät holen, funktioniert bei mir auf dem Gasherd, sollte aber auch auf einem E-Herd genausogut funktionieren.
👍🏻
We could finally source organic popping corn locally so bought this for my husband’s birthday. My 3 year old son loves cooking with dad and they make they popcorn together, my son cranking the handle.
Great popcorn pot

Pipoqueira perfeita. Gostei muito do produto!
Produto de excelente qualidade, tamanho grande e além disso, esteticamente, é super bonito. Adorei, pq além de parecer aquelas pipoqueiras bem antigas é de inox de fácil limpeza e não fica um grão de milho sem estourar, ou seja, sem virar pipoca. Super Recomendo para quem gosta de pipoca à moda antiga, ou seja, mais saudável
