I tried five machines to make popcorn at home: It’s the best | Comparative | Showcase

If you are one of those who enjoy eating a good bowl popcorn when watching the movie, if you are looking for a healthy choice for the microwave, you need a machine to make homemade popcorn. Also known as Palomitaras or Popcorn, it is enough to put the corn inside and press the unique button they are embedded so that the popcorn is ready in a few minutes. Then, you can wear them with salt and sugar …

How did we choose and test the products

Although it is not the most common, we always have this kind of machine we used to eat popcorn in my house: my favorites, a little oil and salt. Therefore, when facing this comparison, I know how these types of machines work, which I have tried for a month in the amount of corn accepting the instructions of every manufacturer, if you can put a spice during expansion or you have to wait for it … In addition, all I choose for the comparison will not exceed their prices. I am worth it:

• Design: Although it is a subjective problem, design is an increasing valuable purchase standard. Beyond the aesthetics, small differences, finishes, size and weight of the machine are observed in the quality of materials for the manufacture of this popcorn.
• Performance: Do machines work well? Are they according to what they promised? Are there very few corn grains?
• CookingTaste is crucial, but it also depends on the ingredients that are included (salt, butter, spices, sugar …), so in the result I have a valuable texture and feel when eating them. Some models have uniform heat distribution systems, which prevent some popcorn hard or exploit, ensuring more effective cooking.
• Others: The noise they release, how they are cleaned, their capacity …

Speed ​​and Efficiency: Taurus Pop’corn

He is someone who is: Who will look for proper performance, good price and easy cleaning model.

Why do we recommend this: Popcorn boycotting duct is one of the most liked elements of this model, as its attitude and form (very wide) will prevent from ending from the bowl. However, it has a trick, and after it is thrown the corn meter vessel in the hole: I have a grain stuck in my first attempt and some people blown up in the air when the cooking began. After the plugger you should wait a few minutes to heat the machine: You know when to throw the corn because the ignition/off button has a small light pilot, warning you when the device is ready to work.

Popcorn is ready in just 3 minutes. The result is uniform, without burning grains, and with light and crispy shape. If you want to give salt or other ingredients a touch of taste, you can do it after they are made, but they will also have good taste without throwing anything in me.

In addition, this popcorn has a hole in the base to protect the cable, which always helps to order everything. Cleaning is very fast because it is dirty and it can be difficult to reach your hand or accumulate dust.

Your weaker items: Although it can be re -used, it should be taken into account that corn is always going on.

Light and style: Create Popcorn Maker Retro

For whom it is: If you are looking for compact and it is easy to keep the design.

Why do we recommend this: Its operation is simple: the corn is thrown in the upper opening, press the ignition button and make the popcorn without using oil within three minutes. Popcorn is rich and crispy and sometimes I can’t keep the result because I am a little difficult. It also allows for the batch to prepare up to 80 grams of corn, a sufficient amount – I always want to repeat – only me.

When it comes to its design, it seemed very compact and easy to keep in any corner. In addition, it is possible to buy in many pastel tones that fit in your kitchen (I try white). Another positive aspect is that it is easy to clean, and crossing a rag can be avoided by fat residues without breaking the pieces.

Your weaker items: Although it is a security thing to prevent overheating, you should wait 10 minutes between the batch of popcorn and tunda.

Classic Flavor: Foher

For whom it is: People who are going to prepare a large amount of popcorn in each batch.

Why do we recommend this: Its 5.5 -Liter capacity allows large powerties: it fits four. In addition, it has an automatic anxiety system to prevent exploitation of un explored grains, so I found that nothing corn is wasted. It is easy to pour the popcorn made in a bowl because it has an 180º rotating plate, which facilitates maneuver; And I have never burned, because their handles are cold.

This is one of some of the models that allow for the oil, salt or sugar to be added directly to the grain before making popcorn. But is this fast? Other models take two or three minutes to make popcorn, where there are four. Because of getting too size, I was compensated by waiting for another minute. Other details that attract attention are the design of its Ezing coating, which contributes to cleaning and quiet.

Your weaker items: In instructions for use, it makes an inevitable step to use a little oil for the expansion of popcorn. In addition, it is slightly gross and heavy.

Retro Design: Recs

For whom it is: For lovers of vintage beauty, because it has the shape of a traditional popcorn cart.

Why do we recommend this: His beauty is the first thing that has attracted my attention because he mimics old Palometas carts; Of course, you should have a place to keep it. Personally, and because it is 41.5 cm height, I made it difficult to pour the corn with some furniture and shelves in the kitchen, so I decided to put it on the table to test.

The procedure is simple: the round cover is removed from the top and the corn is introduced. Then you need to put the lid again, turn on the device and place a bowl on the front outlet to collect popcorn. Of course, it should be perfect so that it will not happen to you and some shot out. At least one minute of time to warm up, and then the popcorn needs another three minutes to get ready. Now, are they good? I have done some without oil, and some more sugar, threw other ingredients at the end of the Permen’s cheese or Cayena pepper, and all the fingers. To clean it you need to cross a garment and take some practice to reach some corners.

Your weaker items: If you don’t have much space in the kitchen it is very noise and too big. There are always some corn grains without doing it.

With dose spoon: Secotech fun & taste

For whom it is: Popcorn and for those who seek speed while earning cheaper.

Why do we recommend this: It occupies less space, making it easy to keep it without a whole countertop. In my case, it enters one of the drawers in my kitchen. In addition, I liked its end, with the material wire at its price.

With 1,200 watts and measuring spoon power to add corn comfortably, my popcorn bowl in just two minutes. If you want them to be sweet or delicious, you can eventually decide, because any substance is echoed at the end and there is no need for cooking for cooking. The result is, in a sweet and salty version, good taste and texture, although it is a remaining model I left without much popcorn. It is protected from overheating (it is advisable to rest for a few minutes between the batches) and its removable system helped me clean up a lot of dishwasher.

Your weaker items: Its capacity is suitable for a small meeting, but not for large families or large groups.
