whats the difference between the stainless steel and the other popper

I believe that the heavier gauge stainless steel conducts the heat better making for much fluffier popcorn and fewer "old maids".

Hello answering your question I have a metal one and 2 plastic poppers they allwork just find I forgot sometimes i use the microwave around here we eat a lot of pop corn.But the metal popper works just fine for the price i payed for it.

This popcorn maker is different from the others, because the gears on the top at made of a metal and not plastic. That's why I ordered it initially. But now that I have been using it, I love it! It's so far a great buy......

Not only does the Great Northern popper use the heavier weight stainless steel, but its gears are metal as well. In reading about the other light weight poppers, I saw that the gears were plastic--with use over the stove to make popcorn, the plastic gears are compromised and break.

This popper is much heavier than the other brand of popper I previously had; the bottom is quite thick, and the turning mechanism inside is a broader, flat piece of metal as opposed to the wire from the other brand. It's hard to explain exactly, but it sweeps the kernels around much better. I have had my Great Northern popper since last fall, and I LOVE it. Clean up is a breeze, also.

I have both. I feel the difference is the temperature stays warmer in the stainless. Flavor is great in both.

The plastic Oxo works well, but I think the stainless version may be sharper, and cut more easily. I am going to try that one.

We have used a number of different brands of popcorn and different types of oil. We never had an issue with the popper with any of them.

This is not normal. However, the popper will still work without it. It is your call.

I have not used the Whirly Pop and am not familiar with it's construction but the Cook N Home is stainless steel with a heave bottom and works great. We make kettle corn in ours almost exclusively and it cleans up nicely with just a little soap and water. Some poppers have plastic gears, not the Cook N Home, it is well built.

I think the stainless steel definitely keeps the liquid hotter longer. Plus it cleans up easier/better and doesn't hold onto flavors like the plastic ones tend to.

There is no difference. There are a lot of these, different sizes, shapes and images. Pick the one that suits. They are made to absorb moisture to keep things dry or moist. You would soak in water and put in with popcorn or brown sugar to keep fresh. Or put in dry to keep moisture out of something. I chose this one because it was the best value.

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 answer to your question is the clean up process is easy. I remove the popper after it cools off and wipe it out with a damp cloth and then wipe dry. the same process for the rest of the machine. So far that seems to be a good method. I hope this helps you with your question.

I'm a little confused as you say you already have one that broke, however, if yours is old and this model is new, the supports seem flush on the right side with a small gap on the left side of each slot. i haven't had anything catch in mine. I haven't tried poptarts but have tried toaster struddle with no issues.

I have two of these poppers -- one for home and one for work. I get the best results when I use premium popcorn (Orville Redenbacher). Cheaper popcorn with smaller kernels results in a smaller yield, with more unpopped kernels. I am very satisfied with the Presto popper, and use it all the time.

stainless will hold up better to moisture, won't rust out. Carbon Steel is typically stronger and holds an edge longer, but needs to be treated with some sort of oil to protect the finish from the elements.

Not that I know. However DO NOT buy this popper. Why? The handle latches are cheaply made and one of them broke. Even though it is still under warranty, I would have to pay to ship it to Cuisinart. Otherwise, the design is good.

Not sure but it does NOT pop the corn as well as the aluminum one. The lid fills with condensation and makes the popcorn wet.

i have the whirly pop. the cook n home popper is heavier and is made better across the top center of the lid. cook n home is just a better popper I got the cook n home for my daughter, she got the best.

I don't notice any difference and I have two. The spout is a different material but I do not know about metal. I have two, my sister has one and my cousin has one but no difference in taste on any of them.
