Nostalgia Hot Air Electric Popcorn Machine, 1.9 Litres, Healthy Oil-free Popcorn with Measuring Spoon, Retro Red

So far, so good! I just got it, cleaned it, and did the 2 minute warm-up, which is probably pretty important to clearing and burning-off any residue before making popcorn. When I poured the carefully measured popcorn in and turned it on I was anxious and waiting for anything to happen. Some un-popped kernels flew out to begin with (about 20 I'd guess) and then it settled into the heat-cycle and started popping the rest. Big, perfect popcorn followed until it stopped popping, I turned it off and emptied the rest of the chamber into my bowl. The serving was just right for the bowl I used and after a little garlic salt I'm good to go. It all works! Yay! Now I can eat more delicious popcorn without the adverse effects of all that oil. There's no after-taste of the hot-air process that I notice, which was on my checklist since it still seems miraculous that such a small device works so well. EDIT: (12 hours later) OK, I made a mistake in the procedure. You're supposed to turn it on for 2 minutes to preheat it, then turn it off, quickly add the popcorn into the popping chamber, turn it back on and get your popcorn. That works much better! The initial instructions are confusing because it smells when you first turn it on out of the box (for 2 minutes) so I didn't connect that with the NORMAL operation, but only with something you do initially to prepare it for later use. BUT You do that first, to remove any unwanted residue from the heating element, THEN every time you use it, turn it on for 2 minutes to preheat, put in the kernels and have your bowl ready under the popcorn exit chute. I have a problem with the measuring lid. (IT'S IMPORTANT to get just the right amount of popcorn into the popping chamber or it won't work right, but the measuring lid is hard to use.) The mark is difficult to see and a large flat volume is more difficult to measure than a tall cylinder or an actual measuring cup. >>>It takes 6 table spoons to fill the chamber.<<< 1 table spoon is 15 ml, SO IT'S 90 ml which is much easier to get with a measuring cup, or even a small container that you can have an exact mark to indicate the same amount that you pour in from the measuring lid. I did it BOTH ways, using the measuring lid, then a measuring cup to make sure that the volume of kernels was correct. 6 TBSP = 3.5 fluid ounces = 90 Mile Liters (ml).

Super top machine fonctionne tres bien j'en suis contente j'en acherai pour le noel de mes enfants

Funciona de maravilla además que la encontré en oferta a un súper precio y se ajustaban perfecto las palomitas a mi dieta ya que son absolutamente sin aceite solo aire caliente que revienta los granos de maíz en menos de 3 minutos. Eso si, al no tener nada de grasa como margarina o mantequilla pues no precisamente van a saber a mucho las palomitas y cualquier saborizante en polvo que les pongas como chile, cheddar, etc nomás no se les va a adherir por nada del mundo y se irá al fondo del tazón. Si les pones salsa picante como Valentina obviamente esa si se pegara a las palomitas sin problemas. Si quieres ponerles un saborizante que no sea chile y si se les pegue, asegúrate que sea líquido y no polvo, o dales una muy ligera rociada con algún aceite en aerosol como el nutrioli, sigues ahorrando calorías y ahora si les podrás agregar sabor.

Everything is fun about it! Watching, listening and smelling the popcorn kernels popping out of this machine. Just a few kernels didn’t burst and I don’t agree with the machine being loud? Who are these reviewers whining for a yes or a no?! Loll

Macchinetta per i popcorn Top! Di piccole dimensioni, quindi non prende molto spazio, esteticamente molto carina, ma soprattutto molto funzionale! Con una piccolissima dose di mais, fai popcorn per tutta la famiglia! Consiglio di prendere anche i prodotti che ho messo in foto, perché se no non si riesce a salarli con il sale "normale". Con i giusti prodotti, e con pochi euro, popcorn perfetti per una serata cinema, o per le festicciole dei bambini!
