How To Choose An Old Fashioned Popcorn Maker
Do you love the look and feel of older years? Just because you want an old fashioned popcorn maker, does not mean you must settle for old ways of making popcorn. You can have the vintage look of an old theater, or store popcorn maker, while having the modern functions of a hot air corn popper. Of course, if you really want to stay with entire retro feel, you can get a full-blown popcorn cart, which pops corn the old fashioned way in a metal pot, with oil.
If you have a big entertainment area, and love to invite guests over, you may wish to consider one of the popcorn carts. You can put the cart in the corner, and pop up a huge batch of popcorn to fill up the big glass cage. You can complete the nostalgia by using the old style red and white popcorn boxes to deliver popcorn to your guests. You can continue popping up batches of popcorn during the party to keep that great smell circulating in the house. With the stainless steel kettle, you can rapidly cook 2 quarts of popcorn. With the self stirring rod in the kettle, you do not need to stay right beside it while the corn is popped. These carts are 4 feet tall, and do require a fair amount of space.
When you don’t have this much space, and would prefer a healthier version of popcorn, you can use a vintage looking hot air corn popper. They will produce a low-calorie treat, while still satisfying your retro design ideas. Just throw in a cup of Orville Redennbacher popcorn, and you will quickly have a batch of popcorn ready to eat. These are much faster popping than the traditional oil poppers, being able to pop a full batch in about 3 minutes.
You also have less worry about someone biting down on unpopped kernels, and breaking a tooth. The old fashioned popcorn maker, which uses the technology of a hot air corn popper will pop almost every kernel. It is rare to have more then two or three unpopped kernels in the entire batch. Many of the hot air popper equipped popcorn machines are also much smaller.
Which style of vintage popper is for you? It will depend greatly on the way you like your popcorn popped. If you like the traditional flavor and style of an oil popper, stick with an old fashioned popper with a steel kettle, stir rod, and which uses oil. The popcorn will be higher in fat, but is sure to be very flavorful. If your diet, or choice is to have a lighter, fluffier, low-calorie popcorn, then the retro style hot air corn popper will fit your needs. You will have a great tasting, low fat snack, while still have the look of nostalgia in your home. Either way, you get to enjoy great popcorn, with a great looking style. Everyone will take notice of your conversation piece, and enjoy in the great tasting popcorn.
