And the Best Hot Air Popcorn Makers Are…
While popcorn is one of the healthiest snacks you can enjoy, the traditional ways of preparing it were not. In years past, we used to make popcorn by heating it with oil on a stove, something which current stove-top popcorn makers still do. But a healthier alternative appeared in the 1970s – the use of hot air to pop corn. Hot air popcorn makers work by spinning popcorn kernels in a central chamber and exposing them to hot air to pop them.The most popular popcorn makers are those made by Orville Redenbacher, a brand which is most associated with its line of gourmet popcorn. Its hot air popcorn makers are marketed under the brand name Presto; the most popular model is the Presto 04820 PopLite, a device that at first glance, resembles a blender that has been turned upside down. The reviews for this popcorn popper have been overwhelmingly positive, with many calling it one of the best hot air popcorn poppers they’ve ever owned. Its positive features include ease of use, little wasted popcorn (nearly all kernels popped) and the quick popping time; popping corn using the hot air popper was also more economical and healthier than microwave popcorn.
