Microwave Popcorn Poppers

Popcorn

Microwave popcorn has provided the popcorn consumer with many years of convenient and fast popcorn. Microwave popcorn has given all of us immediate satisfaction when a popcorn craving comes along. Unfortunately it has also included large amounts of fat, typically from vegetable oil. Another thing that most microwave popcorn lovers don’t realize is that microwave popcorn is almost twice as expensive then the real thing. Popcorn is supposed to be a cheap, healthy, and fun for any occasion. Here are some alternative ways of experiencing the wonderful snack that we have all grown to love.

A hot-air popper is by far the healthiest popper on the market today. Hot-air poppers pop the corn without using any oil. The popped corn comes out a little dry and will likely lack in taste when compared to oil popped popcorn from the old days. On the other hand, you can add on toppings without feeling all that guilty.

Stove top poppers and electric poppers use oil which gives the popcorn that nostalgic popcorn flavor we have all grown up with. These two types of poppers do however come with a higher calorie count in comparison to hot-air and microwave popcorn. Stovetop poppers are cheaper to purchase but are sometimes a little harder to assemble and clean. Electric poppers come in a wide array of sizes, from small one cup serving units to large commercial ones. These are also the most expensive to purchase.

Microwave poppers are on the other hand, cheap and way simpler to use as well as clean. These come with a bowl and cover. It takes anywhere from two to four minutes for the kernels to completely pop. You should keep a close eye on the popper the first few times you use it until you know exactly how long it takes for your microwave to finish a cycle. Every microwave if different, the length of time will depend on the wattage of your particular model. Be sure to turn if off immediately when the popcorn is done popping and that should prevent it from burning.

When determining which popcorn popper to purchase, take into account taste, quality, cost, and functionality. Your personal choice will highly depend on which of these things is higher on your priority list. With so many brands, types, styles on the market to choose from, picking the right one for you might get a bit confusing. Once you have figured out the type of popper you prefer, search online for different brands and check consumer reviews. You can also compare prices and determine which one best fits your budget and needs. Always remember that popcorn should be an inexpensive, healthy, and fun snack that you can enjoy and share with others.
