- Popcorn Popper in Butter - 6 Quart Stovetop Popcorn Machine - Stainless Steel Popcorn Maker Compatible with All Stovetops

The item finally came in after being lost in the shipping system for a while. It feels solid and well made, easy to use, and no issues with the painted finish so far. It definitely feels like an heirloom item, an investment instead of a purchase with a countdown to replacement. We've popped a few batches now and it just works every time. Nearly every kernel popped and tastes great. Easy to disassemble and clean.

This is a stunningly beautiful and well-made product that does exactly what it promises. It allows you to easily make top quality popcorn from home. I'm a huge popcorn nut and I've never seen anything else like this on the market. I've already made several batches with my family and we've devoured with delight. It's been fun to let my kids help and best of all, it's an opportunity to connect and do something fun as a family with a delicious outcome. Their popcorn kits make it super easy (the kettle corn in particular is delicious), but you can just make any popcorn you buy at the store work with it too. I'm already thinking of creative possibilities for add-ins and other seasonings. It's easy to clean, dishwasher safe, and works on my induction range. It's not too heavy, but clearly sturdy and high quality. It's so beautiful I've let it sit out on my counter to dress up my kitchen a little. :)

This is my second one, I had a mishap with the first that was completly my fault. The pot is made well, easy to clear, I don't know that it is worth what they sell it for normally. I found it for about $100 less on Amazon, just depends which color you choose. What I think (I don't know) it might make better popcorn if there were another vent spot on the other side. It makes the popcorn perfectly but something about the popped corn seems off. I have tried theirs and to others. I thought the less expensive poppers did a better job but they are a pain to clean. Still working on perfecting the process, would like to hear feedback from others.

Great stovetop popcorn maker. I bought this for my daughter & her family for Christmas. They love it! It is EXTREMELY pricey, but I did find a sale during the holidays which made it a little more palatable. It popped all the kernels & was pretty easy to clean. It has a nice weight to it so I'm hoping that it will hold up well.

Unfortunately there are problems customers should be aware of. I'm disappointed in this product, because for the price you would think it wouldn't have problems. 1) When starting, sometimes the kernels get stuck in the mixing rods. You either have to turn the handle the other way, or shake the pot. 2) When turning the handle, the lid doesn't stay on. You almost have to hold it down while turning. 3) Once the popping starts, oil starts to leak out between the pot and lid. (I had a mess to clean up after my first try.) Look at some of the videos and you'll see what I'm talking about. 4) When you go to dump the popcorn into a bowl, most of the popcorn gets stuck in the turning device. You either have to take the stirring device out (which scatters popcorn all over); use your hands (which on hot popcorn can burn); or turn it completely upside down and shake it (because of the weight of the pot, you can't do it with one hand). 5) I really wanted to like this, one feature that appealed to me, was that it is machine washable. But it's so large, it takes up too much space. It's easier just to wash it in the sink.

I'm a total popcorn nerd and was super skeptical about the price of this popper. However, it is better than I expected. Very solid and heats exceptionally even. The stir mechanism is very smooth, and the fit and finish of the lid is great. This is reliable and the best in the market of stirred pan poppers. The looks, finish and performance is better than any of the cheap competitors. Is it worth the price...no...will I probably buy another one as a special gift, yes. Is it better than a regular pot to pop corn in, yes. Easy clean up too. Highly recommend if you can fit it into the budget...

Paint chips! I purchased my Popsmith cooker December 2025 and the paint is already scrached/chipped in multiple areas. While most of the scratches are minor I assume it will only worsen with time. I have used the cooker 5 times with the pre-measured kits. It has been hand washed and handled with care. I take very good care of my cookware and would’ve purchased the stainless steel version if I had known this. Overall this is a great cooker but I’m very disappointed with the finish.

I purchased this as a gift to my son-in-law, the popcorn expert because he remembered his grandmothers outstanding popcorn using a heavy kettle on a gas range. He gave this a five star. Popcorn delicious, all kernels popped, and the built in mixer in the lid to kept the kernels moving, made it easy to use. Clean up also a snap.
