Frequently asked questions
Hot-air or oil popcorn maker?
Hot-air poppers are cheaper and lower in fat. Oil-based poppers taste closer to movie theater popcorn. Choose based on how you like your popcorn.
What is the best popcorn maker for a family?
A large-capacity kettle or stovetop popper handles multiple servings quickly. Countertop hot-air models suit lighter use. Storage space often decides the winner.
Are popcorn makers worth it?
They pay off if you eat popcorn often, since kernels cost far less than microwave bags. They also let you control oil and salt. Occasional snackers may prefer microwave popcorn.
