I don't know but if it gets hot enough to boil water for oatmeal and cook soup, it just might pop popcorn. never know unless you try it. 12v gets hot!

I have not popped pop corn with this, however based on my use I do not see any reason why its not capable of doing this.

I have this corn popper and love it! This is my second, because I broke the first (my stupidity really) but I hope I am never without it!!! The popcorn is so much better than bagged microwave popcorn, and you know exactly what is in it. I have washed mine in the dishwasher many times and it has not affected the performance in any way. You can pop with or without oil!!!

I don't know, but I think you use a different type of corn for cornmeal. I don't think pop corn is the right kind of corn, but again, I don't know for sure.

No I don't...BUT the silicon handle is terribly, terribly HOT after 2 1/2 minutes cooking the pop corn. The glass handle was WAY BETTER!

I do. Here's a better question how many people still use an air popper for popping corn versus a microwave...It works excellent for roasting. Its more of a manual process, however you then understand the process better of how that coffee got in your cup.Remember folks to clean out the motor area from chaff. Its like that lint catch in your dryer at some point its going to burn up if you don't clean it.

I have not tried to use it in this manner. Nordic makes a microwave popcorn popper that I have used and like.

You can use any kind that you want but I would suggest you use coconut oil for your popping oil. It gives the corn a better taste remember a little goes a long way also a little bit of popcorn goes a long way. 1 cup will treat 2 people with no problem.

I just used mine for the first time and got a full bowl of perfectly popped corn in 3 minutes. I used Walmart's GV popcorn with 2 Tbsp of Canola oil.

We have had little success with any type of mixture. The pops just stay stuck in the machine. We are very unhappy with this product. Hope you have better luck.

You're probably cooking it too long. Watch and listen as the corn pops. When the rate of popping slows down [see directions on bag], stop the microwave and note the time used to get to that point. Check your popcorn to see how much is still unpopped and whether it is burnt. With a little experimentation you can get a nice result. I've never been able to pop all the kernels without burning, but you can remove the popped corn and then tape up the bag and return the unpopped kernels for more heating.

Yes, that is what I have. I start out at the highest temp but as soon as it starts popping, I turn it down to med-high and turn the crank constantly but slowly. I use coconut oil but I do not salt or butter the corn. You have to experiment with your own unit. I am sure not all cook tops cook exactly the same. I have not burned the popcorn yet nor have I scratched my glass cook top...and I love this popper. I even purchased it as a gift for someone else.

I haven't tried that. I really like the Stir Crazy popper! It has made the best popcorn. Then you can add 1/4 cup of Sugar to make Kettle Corn.

Never tried it, but if you are gentle with it, it shouldn't tear up the kernels. Good luck and enjoy the corn!!!

Hi, I took the machine back to the store and bought a Cuisinart pop-corn popper, because the Nostalgia popper's instructions said not to put "organic" pop-corn in it. I only pop the "premium" pop-corn because 90% popping corn is GMO.

Yes I have used it with out oil or butter, and it seems to work ok. I prefer to use some butter it seems to start popping sooner and more corn seems to pop for me.

We think it tastes even better! We use coconut oil, flavacol seasoning and a high quality corn such as Orville Redenbacher. It's nice being able to adjust the amounts to your own individual tastes. Highly recommend this pop corn machine!!

I don't have pop-corn or Cheerio's to deal with but I tested it on a hard pea sized bead and my answer is that when I just pushed the Flatout Head Tool forward on the floor it did not suck up the bead, it just pushed it forward (because it is so flat, which is the purpose). There are 2 dime-roll sized up-take holes underneath and when I lifted the tool up and placed it over my bead it sucked the bead right up and because the tool is so light it took no effort.
