How big are the holes.? I want to use it for shaking out unpopped popcorn.

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 too large for un-poped popcorn kernels but okay for most popcorn.

I pop 4 oz. packages, but I believe it can handle up to 8 oz. Their website says "Makes up to 8 cups of popcorn". The 4 oz. package fills the plastic container at the bottom about 3/4 full.

I believe it would. It holds a lot. My family of 7 usually makes 2 batches & it is plenty. There's a light that keeps the popcorn warm when sitting in the popper.

Never had a problem with unpopped kernels. The lid is not the most study, but has held up so far. Have not used it for nuts.

I tired it in a regular kettle and shook it a little but it wasn't enough to stir the oil and salt so the popcorn, although popped, was very bland. However, if you had a hand popcorn kettle with a turning lever on the bottom of the kettle and could stir it by hand it should turn out fine.

Holes are very large (almost 1mm) so I'm pretty sure that this will not strain as well as you'd like. Doesn't for me at any rate when trying to clear particulates from frying oil

Yes. For popcorn, use largest openings. The trigger setting should be fully open. The air pressure should be 20-25 psi.

The holes are about 2mm in diameter, perfect for spaghetti or angel hair pasta but not for small grains like quinoa for which you should use a fine mesh strainer.

They are six inches tall. I opened my pepper mill and the hole is 1 inch across and about 4 inches deep. It will hold a little more than 1/4 C of peppercorns. I didn't open the salt shaker, but it holds a good deal of salt, I am guessing it has about as big an inside measurement as the pepper - probably a little more, as there is no mechanism and the hole would go clear to the top.

My popcorn maker has been used only once for our Halloween party. I was not the one popping the popcorn and was not present during popping. However, I was the one who cleaned the machine and was amazed at the amount of unpopped kernels. The next time it is used, I will do it and see if the same thing happens. We use the 8 oz. size.

The molds are thick so the pops aren't that big. The inside measures 2.25"X 1" at the top and 1.75"X.5" at the bottom. The length is 4" inside. It is really easy to not fill them up all the way if you want. I have had my mix on fill 1/2 of the last one and it still works when I thaw it under the faucet to get it out. Hope this helps. Love mine. Hope this helps.

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.

If the popcorn is for 30, and is popped, then no. You probably need a 5-6 gallon container. There is a similar glass container at Walmart. That would give you an idea if it's what you want. There are decorated tin popcorn cans. You might want to check them out. I like your idea. Good luck!

The measuring cup provided holds 2 oz. of kernels which pops to about 10 cups of popcorn. I could find nothing in the instructions as to repeated usage for a party.

The Flavacol popcorn salt I have is like powder it's so fine. I am wanting a dredge so I can evenly distribute it over the popcorn. I am wondering if the holes are too large for the fine powdery Flavacol salt.

I am not sure, havent used them yet but the bag looks like it can hold about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of popcorn

Can not say for certain, I no longer have them in my possession. Was used on a custom popcorn popper cart. The drawing made was with a 10" diameter and I do not recall having to make any modifications.
