Does anyone know of a similar blend MINUS the cracked corn? The corn ends up on the ground, and nothing comes by to clean it up.

I found a similar one at Safeway. I also buy the plain seed and then a separate bag of nutty type stuff and mix the two. No one eats that corn!

What I would recommend is that you go to straight sunflower seeds, which birds also enjoy, and you won't have the corn mess. Wagner's also sells black sunflower seeds.

I have not noticed any corn left. The birds flit the mixture onto the deck and the squirrel who frequents our home eats EVERYTHING - including the corn! I think Amazon offers a blend without corn.

Have only had it since September 2013, so it's early in the trial. So far it's really good and we have no problems. It pops the corn great and doesn't burn it. We use grapeseed oil and trader Joe's organic popcorn. You have to do it twice or three times for a decent amount for two people. Great for individual serving. My only gripe so far is it is hard to clean.

No. You would need a finer grind. These are stone ground and very coarse. I like that for grits but they would not cook up in the time it would take for cornbread. You might could cook them first for cornbread but you would have to be very good at recreating recipes to pull that one off! Even then these are very coarse stone ground HOMINY which is a different variety of corn, so I am not sure how that would turn out for corn bread. Just buy organic blue cornmeal by Arrowhead Mills for cornbread. Non GMO and fabulous for that application. I use kefir instead of buttermilk and it raises nice for skillet corn bread. I never use sugar in my cornbread even if the recipe calls for it. No need. If someone wants sweet, they can put honey on it. With all that said these will cook up the best grits you will ever eat!

Tried green and it just chrushed them. Seasoned worked great along with dried corn no problems.

I just use regular yellow or white corn. I find it works best if you use the butter container to measure the corn ( it will make a big batch). Also, if you use a smaller kernel or less corn it helps to tilt the popper back so the kernels don't fly out the chute.

we haven't experienced a cracking problem. Our last one lasted for several years until I dropped it on a hardwood floor.I think it pops better corn then the stir crazy that we had before.

I had one of these as well.Mine did the same thing, finally though it away.Bought a stir crazy popper, no problems......

I bought the corn and it looks just like this in terms of color, except that mine was already dried for planting and it isn't so glossy. That's normal. I suspect the reason is that photos of food are actually really difficult for amateur photographers to get right.

I know this one is or I wouldn't have bought it. I checked on the product there is no corn in this one, however I am not sure what you mean by which ones as I have only bought this one......hope this helps

I was a bit disappointed as well--I add a little more of the oil stick than probably recommended. Not sure if this would help, but I agree with you...the popcorn is chewy.

i have ground pop corn with this machine a number of times with no problems. i don't know the moisture content of pop corn but i believe it's low.

When I was young my dad would make parched corn for us. Which was dried sweet corn cooked in a skillet with a little oil and then salted. The corn puffs up kind of like corn nuts.

By using the recommended amount of oil the corn absorbs most of it and is not dry. Adding butter gives it more of a buttery flavor. I like to mix the butter and the oil together and not adding butter after its popped.

Well, a third of the corn will be meal, a third will be cracked, and a third will be whole kernels, plus there will be metal powder and fragments mixed in with it. I threw mine in the recycling bin, after trying a few modifications to fix the problems. I eventually bought a Monster Mill, but I had to make new eccentric adjustment knobs to get the gap wide enough for corn.

I specifically use Charlie's because I am allergic to corn and it does not contain any derivatives of corn. However, in the past I have used a similar oxygen bleach with other detergents as you are suggesting. Also, I would soak a stained item in the oxygen bleach product with water overnight and then the next day or whatever wash it with the detergent. Hope that helps.

I just hung up the phone with them because I had the same problem. They confirmed with me that the DID change the recipe. Made it thinner because people complained about it not coming out of the bottle easily. I said they should have changed the bottle, not their delicious sauce. Oh well... time to find another favorite.

I did try it with no oil or butter on the corn and it didn't stick as well as when I used the melted spread. It didn't just fall off either, so I guess it depends on how you want it to be. It's very nice, fine salt, but it's not sticky. Hope this helps!
