Would this strainer work to separate uncooked popcorn kernels from the popped corn? Are the holes large enough for popcorn kernels to fall through?

No, the holes are not large enough. Also the steamer basket's handles are very small so the burn risk would be high. And the steamer itself is way too small to pop popcorn in. I can fit maybe 1 1/2 cups broccoli, but it's too short for artichokes.

Hello! Sorry, I never use for popcorn kernels.But the holes is OK.No fall through.

Absolutely! Gret strainers, I use them for quinoa all the time. That and my keifer grains.

I don't think so. The holes are large enough that the seeds would pass through. In my cooking classes we learned to press the seeds from berries in a fine mess strainer. Such as this one... OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Fine Mesh Strainer

The holes are small enough to contain millet or orzo, or even soup pasta, but you might have to use a fine wire mesh strainer for quinoa. They are very small, but I don't have the equipment to measure them. They are large enough to allow water to drain off quickly without backwash. It's a great strainer.

I never actually used the popcorn maker. It wouldn't go together properly so I had to return it. Sorry I can't answer your question.

If the kernals aren't too large they will pass through as holes are all over bottom and sides so with a shake or too should work.Fair size holes and shaped so whould work but you could always widen holes a bit if needed to make it work as it is plastic. My only concern is how hot kernels get might melt the plastic a bit.

The holes are a few millimeters by a few millimeters. dry short grain rice doesn't fall through, but that's probably close to the particle size limit. I'm not sure of the particle size of stock contents.If you are focused on rigidity, this strainer can handle it. This thing is very sturdy.

We have used the corn auger, but only for dried corn. I'm not sure it would put wet corn through cleanly without clumping.

The holes are very large. You could not steam rice in this strainer....also it's a tall strainer and the handle protrudes over the edge by a couple of inches making it not possible to put a lid on the pot you are using.

Don't know...would not buy this popcorn maker as it leaves a lot of unpoped popcorn.

Since I have never used it to strain cooked rice, I am not positive that all of the rice will stay in the strainer.

I am not sure, I've never done it, but think it would be OK. The mesh is very fine. Sometimes I use the strainer to sift gluten free flours and cocoa powder together (brownies, cake ingred.); it is so fine my kosher salt won't always fit through the mesh.

Sorry to say, but anything smaller than a popcorn seed would go thru the screen. I used it to dry popcorn that we grew and some of it fell thru.

I used it for straining kefir grains but I'd want a large one to strain cooked quinoa because the mesh is so fine that of soft quinoa may plug the holes. A small one would take forever to drain.

I don't see why not. Heavy-duty stainless should work great for you. I love this popper. Use 4 oz. of popcorn max.

The entire lid lifts off along with the mixing blades. No oil can sizzle out the top when cooking. One would think the glass top would be perfect for viewing the popping corn, however, the steam from the popping corn makes it impossible to view the corn popping status. Also, since the lid does not hinge, it is a little difficult to pour out the popcorn in a controlled manner. The pan is very heavy and not easy to hold to pour.

The popcorn falls out from a vent in the clear plastic part of it. It is pushed out during popping so have some bowls ready!
