Wabash Valley Farms Whirley Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper (Original Silver) by Wabash Valley Farms

Love my Whirley Pop, bought my first one at Habitat on Tottenham Court Road while at Uni. in ‘98 and it’s lasted me all these years. Only had to patch up/glue the cog once in that time as it’s a transition fit that wears over time, but put simply, this is the best way to make popcorn at home. Get the right oil and flavouring and you’ve got that cinema experience. Or get all gourmet and creative with recipes. Update: It's arrived! the cogs that drive it are now metal and pinned so even more well made than before. Here's to the next 25 years!

I have been a Whirley-Pop owner for a while now, and if you like popcorn I'd say it's a must have. I used to do the Alton Brown technique of tinfoil over a big mixing bowl on the stove, but it was a lot of work, was time consuming, and used up a lot of foil, so I gave the Whirly-Pop a try and I've never looked back. The results are superior to an air popper with very few dud kernals, and that's one less electrical gizmo I have to keep in the kitchen. Sadly I do not have a gas stove so I do not get the advertised "popcorn in 3 minutes," but making popcorn with it is still easy and faster than any other stovetop method I've tried. One thing to consider is since it's made of aluminum, take good care of yours and don't go dropping it on the floor or cramming it into an overcrowded cabinet. It's not too difficult to straighten out if you have an accident though. Mine has gotten a few dings in it but nothing that keeps it from working correctly. Just about any time I have a movie night these days I bring out the Whirley-pop and start making popcorn. My personal recommended kernels are Orville Redenbacher because they pop big, give me very few duds and have great flavor-- I've yet to find any other kernels that pop quite as nicely. For popping oil I use Kernel Season's, although whatever your favorite oil is it will work fine, though I recommend always using something butter-flavored! My favorite topping is home-made ghee and salt, hands down.

Great popcorn maker, I have used many kinds, and this style is the best!

Love it!! It’s made from very thin aluminium (the base and the top), however it feels very well made, I’m guessing the material is so thin to help pop the popcorn quicker. This will not work with an induction cooktop, however Makes amazing popcorn! 🍿😍

Vale toda la pena comprar la olla ya que está bien hecha y te permite hacer las mejores palomitas!!!! Estoy encantado con ella.

This was my quarantine guilty pleasure. I’ve used this countless times and it makes amazing popcorn each time. It’s best to buy the mushroom style kernels. It’s very easy to use and hard to burn the popcorn. It’s also really easy to make kettle corn using regular sugar or flavored sugar. Gold Medal makes some really great popcorn sugar with different flavors. Coconut oil works best. I’ve purchased a few of these as gifts and would never go back to microwaved popcorn again.
