Review: We just threw out the Whirley Pop, this popper is excellent! - Yep, the Whirley Popper went out to the recycle trash contrainer this week! I believe the tough corn we were getting was because the Whirley didn't eliminate the steam as well as it should, tough corn almost everytime. Enter the Stir Crazy. After reading the reviews I decided to order one and we sure are happy with ours. We use coconut oil (I know I know) which makes excellent tasting corn. I use about 1.5 table spoons of coconut oil and .75 teaspoon of popcorn salt and that seems to be just about right. The grand kids enjoy watching the corn pop in the plastic lid and the steam comes out the top, a lot of steam, and with that, we get very fluffy non rubbery popcorn with excellent flavor. The metal stir rod is easy to take off and put back together after cleaning. After making the first batch of corn, my wife told me "honey, we've been missing out by using the Whirley Popper, this corn is the best we've had in years!" She's right, as alway ;>) Easy to use, 3/4 cup of corn will fill the bowl and pops pretty much all the kernels, the corn is fluffy and crunchy, we love this popper, order yours and enjoy it too! ;>) UPDATE: Ooops, we must have gotten a lemon here, 6 months after we purchased this popper, it would no longer work and the Teflon had all but rubbed off in the center of the pan. I did order another one and the newer ones have a "B" in front of the serial number and they have a deeper pan, so this one is working well and popping the corn very quickly and without removing the Teflon from the pan ;>) Still a happy customer, what's $28 with free shipping, that's about the cost of 3 large popcorns at the movies ;>O
Review: Buy it! Lives up to the hype and more! - I don't like microwave popcorn. The stuff has some sort of heavy oil that coats my mouth afterwards and I'm turned off by all the warnings I've read of many health concerns over microwave popcorn, the stuff they use to coat the bag and the unnecessary added chemicals. I became a stalwart stovetop popper, generally requiring that I use too much oil, making too much mess with spattered oil all over the stove, unavoidable burning of at least a few kernels and smelling up the house that brought complaints from the rest of the family. I finally bought the Stir Crazy popper after looking around a bit for a plug-in self-contained table-top unit. I was heartened by all the positive reviews here, on desertcart, and once it arrived, I eagerly fired up my first batch. 2 tablespoons of oil and a half-cup of popping corn (and I've only used the store-brand supermarket popping corn) yielded a huge batch of popcorn in four minutes with either one or two, or more often, none at all, un-popped kernels. It works perfectly every time! No burning, no big mess, just excellent popcorn! For a unit under $30, it is a wonderful value. I would not hesitate to buy another. My only concerns are minor and they would not deter me from buying this again, but I'll state them nonetheless, The dome cover gets very hot. It rests directly on the perimeter of the cooking surface. Although I don't smell any chemical odors, I wonder about the risk of the plastic becoming unstable when heated and possibly out-gassing chemicals. The domed cover is a little thin and flimsy feeling. The cover that presses onto the top (which would be the bottom if you were to use it as a bowl) is just a press fit, it doesn't snap on or screw on or anything. That cover is left off during popping so that the released steam can escape and can be pressed on to use the domed cover as a bowl. I've resigned myself to not using it. I do not use the dome as a bowl and put the press on cover back in the box. The unit is not immersible. It would be nice if the cooking surface were removable for cleaning or if it was better sealed to the base so that water could be sprayed onto it without the fear of water leaking into the electrical area where the motor and heating element is. It does clean up easily by wiping with a damp sponge or cloth but I'd still feel better being able to give it a periodic washing. Aside from my minor criticisms, it's perfect. It performs flawlessly and my greatest concern now is that I'm now eating too much popcorn as a consequence!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used this model for roasting coffee?**
A: Out of the box? No. It has a thermal cutoff switch rated for 350F (you need 400-420 or so), so it will start to, but won't get you very far past first crack. What I did was put a piece of thin fiberglass cloth (and I mean the thinnest stuff you can find at a hobby shop for model planes) between the thermal cutoff switch and the bottom of the pan. What I will probably do is swap the thermal switch for one with a higher temperature rating. This is definitely an at your own risk, fire hazard sort of thing, but it seemed like a more reasonable thing to do than put a convection oven on top of it. Use it outside on concrete. There will be smoke and coffee chaff. Give it an occasional shake too, don't rely on the stirring rod or you won't get an even roast, but I'm doing 3-4 scoops at a time and it's working really well.

**Q: I love my popcorn popped in bacon grease (I know...but it is soooo good!) Would it work in the Stir Crazy?**
A: Yes, yes you can. I have done it in the past with no problems in the Stir Crazy. Popcorn feels a little different after it cools. That's about it.

**Q: most of these popcorn popers say they are dishwasher safe, including the more expensive West Bend. Is this one also dishwasher safe?**
A: I would say the bottom is NOT dishwasher safe. The top should me. The thing only takes a minute to clean using normal hand washing. Really as easy as can be. I don't bother with a dishwasher on this

**Q: This is 2014. Any improvements since these reviews were written?**
A: Major improvement over the older model is that the stir bar no longer rides along a ridge scraping Teflon or metal pieces into the popcorn.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Popcorn, everytime! No chemicals, you control the ingredients!
*by J***L on December 27, 2011*

Since my husband's heart attack and since we learned how to reverse his type 2 diabetes, we avoid *all* food chemicals as much as possible. We both loved popcorn, but we tossed out the door the chemical laden microwave convenience popping brands. The past few years we've used the Nordic Ware 60120 Microwaver Popcorn Popper 12 Cup and were satisfied.. until our microwave died. Once we went through the hassle of replacing our over the range microwave, my husband admitted popping popcorn was very hard on a microwave. Just Grrreat. So we were again on the search for a healthful solution to having our favorite healthy snack - popcorn! without destroying our microwave. We knew we did not want a hot air popper - we like the taste of the oils and we realize the important roles of healthy fats in the diet. Growing up his family had a West Bend. I had experienced the delicious popcorn at a friends house, but had never tried one myself. The West Bend arrived last week. We immediately unpacked it, washed the plastic bowl and ensured the prongs did NOT rub the non-stick coating (thanks to comments from previous reviewers!) With nothing to assemble it was mere minutes before we began experimenting with batches of popcorn (we have german shepherds who enjoyed the fruits of our endeavors!) We found the perfect mixture is simply: 1 cup popcorn, 2 tablespoons peanut oil, 2 tablespoons butter. (We realize per the manufacturer the butter is supposed to be in the butter cup above the popcorn - but we don't like any unnecessary mess to clean up!) Plug it in and monitor until the kernels slow / stop popping. We found for the most efficient pop was to warm the kettle for a couple minutes before loading with ingredients. Our granddaughters were coming over, so of course we had to experiment with "kettle corn". It came out amazing! We simply added a small amount of sugar to the above ingredients. There are a number of other recipes in the West Bend Popper manual that we still intend to try. Happy Popping! Update: The popper is still going strong! We have not experienced smoking issues when adding the butter directly to the kettle when adding the oil and popcorn (as has been otherwise indicated). We also add a bit of sea salt (good source of trace minerals!) for perfectly flavored popcorn, every time. We simply warm the kettle a few moments (since it's currently winter here in the Midwest), unplug, add the ingredients and start the popper - perfect results every time. One cup of kernels perfectly fills a Plastic Popcorn Tub - 8.5" Square however ours was very inexpensive from the local dollar store ;-) My husband has limited use of his hand, yet he finds this popper relatively easy to flip when finished. Pr-adolescents may need assistance to flip the hot popper over, but most older adolescents should be able to use this popper - with adult supervision of course!
