Customer Reviews of Nostalgia Electrics KPM-508 Old-Fashioned Kettle Popcorn Maker
Customer Rating:   Summary: Not so good. Comment: I purchased this popper almost a year ago. You get mostly seeds back from the pan. They fly out while some kernnals pop. I tried putting less popcorn seeds in, but then it takes a lot longer to get enough to eat. Poor design, lets seeds pop out before they are ready. I used it about 10 times and decided it wasn't worth the trouble. I went back to the kettle on the stove and this popcorn popper is in the basement in storage. It is expensive too. Customer Rating: Summary: popcorn popper Comment: Can only make a very small amount of popcorn at a time. If you follow the directions on the popper in regards to amount of kernals of popcorn to make at one time, the popper jams and you have to dig the popped popcorn out. Also, you are then left with many unpopped kernals. Customer Rating: Summary: Good little workhorse Comment: Generally I'd say this is a good popper. I admit it took several batches (about 10) to find the 'right' popcorn and the right oil. I bought some specialized popping oil that is a blend including several different oils, including Coconut oil and betacarotine (which gives it that distinctive color) that finally made the cut. As others have said, smaller kernels tend to just get pushed out and wasted, so get a larger-kernel corn. Specialized popcorn topping also helps....combine all the factors and the well popped corn and it's as good as the movie theatre...but in smaller batches. Overall I'd recommend this but personally wonder if a larger version might not have been better (despite the counter space such a unit would make). Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful popcorn! Comment: I love this popper! I am a popcorn lover...especially theater popcorn. This little machine does the trick. I've popped up some beautiful, fluffy, yummy popcorn like I haven't been able to do in a pot on the stove. So far I am throughly happy with this lovely little popper. I use Orville Reddenbacher oil and popcorn. I found some popcorn salt at my local grocery store, but I've seen the salt and oil sold on Amazon too. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Buy Comment: If you are looking for a simple popcorn maker with a classy look to it, then you have found it! Its compact enough to set just about anywhere but still is big enough to deal out enough popcorn. The Setup was easy (once you looked at the manual haha) and took not much time at all. Clean up is also fairly easy with this machine because its easy to de-assemble. Good buy all-around! More Reviews Bring back the silent film era (you'll be too busy munching to talk)! A miniature version of the quaint, old-fashioned movie poppers, this hot-oil popcorn maker is easy to use and a breeze clean, sitting on any table or countertop for fluffy, delicious popcorn anytime. 90-day warranty. Model KPM-508. 
Choosing Appliance -> Grater In our opinion, the old fashioned box graters work the best since they are sturdy and offer several different grating sizes. Choosing Appliance -> Hobs If you enjoy eastern cuisine, you can buy a speciality hob with a wok burner. Similarly if you are a BBQ fan, choose a BBQ grill. If you are left handed, go for front rather than right hand side controls as this eliminates the risk of reaching across the heat. If you cook for a large family, more than four rings may be useful, and if you have young children it may be worth considering paying a little extra for a hob guard or in the case of gas, choosing an automatic re-ignition or cut off device should the flame blow out.

Useful info -> Dishwashers A concealed heating element reduces the risk of lightweight plastic items such as children's drinking cups melting onto it after becoming dislodged mid-cycle. Limescale build-up is also prevented. Some manufacturers now produce models with the concealed heating element coiled around the water inlet pipe for further energy efficiency. |
