I haven't tried yet, but it seems big enough for 4-6 medium ears of corn easily.

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

Hello!!! We have these and it seems like you can fit 2-21/2 cups of popped corn. Great quality and assemble super easy! Hope this was helpful!

I haven't tried that, but I kind of doubt it. There are three holes for material to dispense onto the impeller. There's a short steel rod that spins around to agitate the material, located about 1/2" over the plane of the holes. The holes themselves are about 7/8" dia. Unless the corn consists of very small kernels, I suspect that it would jam. OTOH, if that's all you want to use it for, I think you could enlarge the holes easily to about 1" and still have it work with the existing shutter. The shutter has molded holes in it about 1" dia that can't be enlarged without weakening it to the point of assured failure. I haven't tried that, but I kind of doubt it.

Absolutely! Put 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons in a paper bag o an Air Popper and set microwave to "high" for 3 minutes. The time may need adjusting, depending on your microwave power. I do not use oil, butter or anything else during the popping. After popping, I sometimes spray the non-calorie butter on the popped corn. Delicious. Eat it most days.

I have the 9 quart and can stand up about a dozen ears without packing them too tight by removing all but the bottom pan. I guess the 6 quart would work, but you'd have to chop the ears in half or thirds first.

1 to 3 tablespoons oil and 1/4 cup to 3/4 cup of popping corn. Use one to one of each, so if you use 1 tablespoon oil, put in 1/4 cup corn. No more than 3/4 cup corn.

I would estimate 10 to12 ,12-14 oz of meat since I don't know the amount of liquid you will be using.

I add approx 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water. That takes care of both sides (2 ears). Cooking time 4 to 6 min depending on the size of the ear.

I prefer to put corn with husk still on into microwave rather than boil all the flavor out of it, so I would never use this to cook corn and I found it not very successful for cooking asparagus which is why I purchased it in the first place. I have donated this item to the Thrift Store.

Let me update my answer. The pot I purchased and reviewed is 10 quarts. It's great for making stock/broth, boiling ears of corn, boiling pasta, etc... It's a great size and I use it frequently. You can choose your size, however.

You could but I'm not sure I would. I'm not sure how long it takes to cook corn in the microwave, if its like 13 minutes you should be alright.

Holds 7 quarts to the rim. I have done 18 (36 pieces) ears of sweet corn halved and added 25 oz can of limearita and tex mex seasoning. Cooked 40 min after start of steam. 3 pieces left. I have also done chicken, potatoes, carrots, onion and sweetcorn with limearita , S&P. 40 min when steam starts. Good comments from guests. I also have done other foods.

Yes to kettle corn! I don't know about roasting nuts. We use cast iron for that.

I have never tried it but I think it would work. I use it to cook corn on the cob in addition to my asparagus. I would agree that you would not put much oil in it. The steel pan is not very thick.
