How to Select a Great Popcorn Maker?
Popcorn is a healthy snack that can be enjoyed everyday. The problem is that most people eat microwave popcorn, which lacks the taste and quality of freshly popped popcorn. The best way to enjoy popcorn is to purchase a popcorn maker so that you can make fresh popcorn from the comfort of your own home. Popcorn makers are easy to find and easy to use, and below we provide some tips on how to select a good one: • When shopping for a popcorn maker, there are a few styles to consider. Some popcorn makers go on the stove or in a fire, while others plug in to the wall. Popcorn makers that plug in to the wall are a little more convenient, but the best ones are those that cook over flames. Also, if you’re not yet ready to buy a popcorn maker that cooks over flames, there are disposable ones that can be bought for a relatively cheap price. • Whatever kind of popcorn popper you get, you’ll need to follow some basic popcorn popping techniques. You’ll need some kind of oil to help speed the heating process and prevent the popcorn from burning, as well as giving the popcorn some extra flavor and helping keep the popcorn maker clean. Plug-in popcorn makers won’t really need too much oil because they cook the popcorn mostly with hot air. For popcorn makers you use over a flame, you’ll definitely need oil, at least enough to cover the unpopped kernels. Once you’ve popped the popcorn in your popcorn maker, you’ll want to season it. A little salt can go a long way, as well as butter and any other toppings you choose to use. Some good toppings to try are seasoning salt, sugar, garlic, powdered cheese, paprika and cinnamon.
Does a popcorn machine rental taste better then microwaveable popcorn?
This question is a bit hard to answer. I think it depends on the brand of microwaveable popcorn compared to the popcorn being popped on the popcorn machine. If you add commercial ingredients such as coconut oil to your popcorn rental machine yes it will taste better.
What is popcorn oil most commonly used for?

Do I Need a Popcorn Maker?
As long as you use regular popcorn kernels with nothing added to them, it really makes no difference in the taste of the popcorn if you pop it in the microwave or in a popcorn maker. However, if you are using the packets of microwave popcorn that have added flavorings and fat, I would say that plain popcorn tastes better. If you want to make popcorn conveniently but without additives, I would recommend putting about a quarter of a cup of popcorn kernels in a regular brown paper bag along with about a teaspoon of vegetable oil and using that to pop the popcorn in the microwave instead of the microwave popcorn bags from the grocery store. You simply add the kernels and oil in the bag, seal it up tightly, then microwave for two to three minutes, until you hear the kernels stop popping. This is significantly healthier, cheaper, and better-tasting than store-bought popcorn.

What role does oil play in the preparation of popcorn?
The type of oil affects the taste of the popcorn, and you need an oil that can be heated to high temperatures. Popcorn pops when it reaches a temperature of 450°F (232°C). Movie theaters frequently use coconut oil which is said to be the best-tasting, but some now offer popcorn for the health-conscious, such as popcorn made with canola oil or air-popped popcorn. Other oils that can be used to pop popcorn are sunflower oil, corn oil, safflower oil, and soybean oil. Avoid oils that will smoke at popcorn popping temperatures, such as olive oil or grape seed oil.
What ingredients are in popcorn?
Canola or vegetable oil, popcorn kernels, salt, and a popcorn maker or pon of your choice. Any "ready to make" popcorn that they sell in stores is crap. My rule is: If you can't read the ingredient of something as simple as popcorn, screw it.

What is the best way to clean burnt on oil from a Stir Crazy Popcorn Maker?
Try shooting it with oven cleaner and let it sit for a while. I'm not sure, but I don't think it will hurt the non-stick surface. Check for warnings. If your popcorn maker is aluminum, make sure your oven cleaner is safe for use on aluminum.
