Does this do Kettle corn well?

This is for regular popcorn and it's the best! There is a new popper out...same concept of stirring but you can do kettle corn, Carmel popcorn etc

Yeah. It does great popping. Very few unpopped kernels. Kettle corn also comes out really well.

I am not certain the size of this kettle as I shipped it directly to a family member. I do know that will handle a 4oz and 7oz bag of popcorn. I understand that the family members just love this machine.

I don't know about that. I have used the tiller to turn earth for say planting grass and it works great. I do not know if it would good on wood chips but that being said it is a good little tiller. Sorry I could not be of more help.

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.

Very well built. We use it mostly to grate cheeese and it works very well. I suppose if you wanted to make wood chips with it, it could be considered flimsy.

It's designed to be melted by the oil, but I have used it on air popped corn (my experiment) on an attempt for a lower calorie version. I spray the popcorn with butter flavored cooking spray (helps the topping stick. I also do this with the cheese flavor) and then apply the glaze as I would for salt. The end product is OK at best, but is nowhere near the kettle version. I have most of the glaze flavors and have made small batches on the stove top great results, when I didn't want to use my machine. Some batches have been superior to the machine.

Yes. I found a recipe for kettle corn on their website - required you to add sugar just before popping. Came out wondefully!

The kettle doesn't roast nuts very well, in shell or out. The sweep arm only moves the nuts around the cookiing surface but doesn't turn them over, so the nuts burn on one side and remain uncooked on the other. It makes great popcorn, though.

Yes! It actually does a good job! I bought it for making cookies and it performs well!

No ,but it's made for 6 oz pop corn. For example; If you use 8 oz pop corn bag you will have un-popped kernels. so the kettle is made for 6 oz bags. I hope I answered your question.

I have not had any problems with any Corning Ware, any recipes. Everything comes out good to eat!

I have never tried it on air popped corn. It is very fine almost like a powder so it may work. I use this on kettle corn & it's perfect & will continue to use it instead of morton salt or anything else. Just a light salt. Good luck!

Yes, but it will roast the beans better if you replace the Kettle Krazy's plastic bowl/cover with a convection oven lid, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NJGCUK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This Kettle Krazy is actually better to use for roasting coffee beans than the http://www.amazon.com/West-Bend-82306-6-Quart-Electric/dp/B00004RC6R/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1396541674&sr=1-1&keywords=stir+crazy - 1) because the stirrers are thicker than the Stir Crazy, and 2) the heat base in which the stirrer attaches to is metal, not plastic. If you Google Stir Crazy Convection Coffee Roasting, you'll see what I'm talking about, however, all those examples, they had to modify the Stir Crazy by replacing the cheaper stirrer, plastic heat base and some examples they even added one of those stands or a base from a wok so that the convection lid they're using had enough room to sit or fit on the Stir Crazy. The convection oven I pointed out above is unlike the ones in the examples where it has a taller glass cover, which is perfectly designed to fit over the Kettle Krazy, due to the KK's taller metal heating base. Plus, Kettle Krazy has a Nut setting, which IMHO, is better for roasting the coffee beans vs. using the popcorn setting, however, the real roasting will come from the convection oven lid.

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

I don't know what you mean by kettle corn and burned sugar. I use oil to pop popcorn. I just made 3 batches with no cleaning until I was done.

Yes, very easily. Just s twust of the knobn. Plus it has a guard at the bottom which prevents the corns from falling out the bottom when refilling. This lets you use your free hand to prevent spillage from the top. Great product.

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.
