I brought home a new cooking toy! It's a heavy-duty stainless steel popcorn popper!
I eat a lot of popcorn and prefer to pop it on the stove rather than in the microwave, and these special pots are great. I've been using the same 'idea' pot for many years, but always the
lighter aluminum models.
After replacing an old one last year I discovered that the new ones by the same company are much MUCH lighter, thinner, and not so well made. I did some research and discovered that there is
a stainless steel model available and I ordered it. MUCH BETTER!
Very heavy construction, thick multi-layered bottom, stronger stirring paddles inside, and just generally better made! This one should last me the rest of my life! The crank on the handle turns the stirring paddles inside so there is no need to shake the pan while cooking. Slow turns of the crank are enough to keep everything from burning. I am a very happy popper!
