Customer Reviews of Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper
Customer Rating:  Summary: Very Nice Popper Comment: This popper does indeed work extremely fast. Don't over fill with kernals, that is, don't go beyond the line they recommend. That alone will give you a big bowl of popcorn. My only criticism is what others have mentioned; there is no on/off switch. Other than that, nice product and nicely priced. Customer Rating:  Summary: air popcorn popper Comment: I read the other reviews before purchasing this item. I think it is a good value. The only problem I had was that the top flew off the first time I used it (without butter in the top), and seemed a bit loose, so I have since weighted it down. I have not had any problems with popcorn going anywhere but into the bowl. Really fast results. I have had no leftover kernels. Air popped corn is certainly not as tasty as oil popped corn or microwave popcorn, and salt does not cling, but it is obviously healthier and has nothing to do with this machine! Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent popper and excellent price Comment: I read the reviews on Amazon before I purchased this popper. Initially I got the impression the popcorn would be dry, so I first bought the "Stir-Crazy" unit. It works well, but requires oil and is a "pain" to clean. I wanted to try healthy popcorn, so I purchased the air popper. Just follow the directions and it will make good popcorn each time. On the first batch of popcorn, use less than a half a cup of popocorn. It will be warm for the second batch and can handle a little more than a half a cup of popcorn. After I use it for a while, I caught on that I could put a wedge under the front edge to tilt it back to keep the popcorn in the unit and use a full cup of popcorn. The unit will fill up, so you need a weight, like a small book on top of the unit. The unit is very good, easy to use and makes very healthy popcorn. Do not melt butter or anything else to feef it easy to clean. For the price, you can't go wrong with this popcorn unit. Customer Rating: Summary: Terrible product. Comment: Pros - Automatically feeds the dog, who's able to scavenge popcorn this thing throws everywhere but the bowl. - Some popcorn is edible and actually finds its way into the awaiting bowl. Cons 1- Popcorn goes Everywhere floor, counter, sink, face of bystanders. 2- Many Raw kernels ejected prior to popping. 3- Yellow lid is flimsy, and does not attach securely to base. 4- Popped corn frequently 'logjams', throwing the flimsy lid off and causing popcorn fountains (much to the delight of the aforementioned dog) 5- Butter melting lid/bowl is useless. 6- No off switch, so you constantly have to reach over counters and behind other counter-top appliances to plug/unplug this. 7- Popcorn picks up a plastic taste. I do not believe they used a plastic that is up to the temperatures this thing reaches. Customer Rating: Summary: love it! Comment: I love this machine! runs clean,no oil,very economical-even pops every kernal of store brand popcorn nice and fluffy as premium brands! saved me lots of time and aggrevation while making carmel corn for Halloween!

Choosing Appliance -> Sinks Consider which accessories might be beneficial. Many models can be supplied with a draining basket, chopping board and strainer bowls. A drainer extension can be useful for sinks without a drainer where worktop space is limited in a small kitchen. Choosing Appliance -> Dishwashers Check the capacity. 'Standard' 60cm wide dishwashers can take 12, 14 or 16 place settings, whilst slimline 45cm models may cater for 7, 8 or 9 place settings. Compact dishwashers tend to be 45 cm wide and can be placed on the worktop or built in, depending on the model. They may take 4, 5 or 6 place settings. Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper
Kitchen tips -> French fries When deep-frying french fries, do not overload the basket. Trying to cook too many at one time will result in greasy and soggy fries. |
