Presto 04821 Orville Redenbacher's Hot Air Popper, 1 Liters, White

Such a good product. Hot air popper works great and fast. Highly recommend. Simple to use. Easy to clean. If you love popcorn, get it.

Works great! I tried a different brand last month and sent it back. With this one there's very few kernels that didn't pop. The kernels didn't fly all over the place and they popped larger. Definitely the one to buy!

Basic and functional. Doesn't take up a lot of space and pops a large bowl of popcorn (see photo). Pops almost all of the corn kernels, is easy to clean, sleek design, pops corn in a few minutes. I haven't used the butter melt cup on top and probably won't. It doesn't have an on/off switch so you have to plug it in and unplug each time, which I found odd, but maybe that's typical for corn poppers? The top DOES get hot, so let it cool before removing.

Popping Popcorn is easy and Presto has made it Perfect. Has 1-2 kernels that doesn't get popped per 1/2 cup, never burns popcorn and doesn't require oils to pop. Be prepared to be amazed how much popcorn will be made with only a 1/2 cup of kernels, use at least a 3.7 liter bowl to 4 liter bowl that is about 16.9 cups or about a gallon container. I used real butter melted in the microwave and salt to flavor the popcorn in the bowl, never put the butter in the air popper. I would paid extra money for a Stainless Steel model if Presto made them. Quality is first rate and much better tasting than the microwave popcorn. Doesn't have a switch to turn it on and off, which I would prefer, no chemical smells come from the unit at all, very happy with this purchase.

I love it! I use it often and enjoy watching the kernels pop, it’s so much fun. It only takes about 3–4 minutes for the popcorn to be ready, and the house doesn’t end up smelling like butter and popcorn all day. It’s great, tastes fresh, and as long as you follow the instructions on the popcorn popper, it works perfectly.

A group of us (about a dozen) purchase GREEN COFFEE beans on a regular basis (about 20lbs a month) and most (about 10) use the Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper as the Roaster. Eddy, one of the home roasters, was nice enough to transcribe his method and wanted to share. Process for "Roasting the World's Best Coffee." Equipment: 1ea. 15 ft heavy electrical extension chord 1ea. 6" diameter metal screen strainer with about 8" handle 1ea. Metal Stirring Wand (skewer, end of hanger, etc.) 1ea. 1/2 cup measuring cup (full to top = 1/2 cup) 1ea. Presto PopLite Popcorn Popper (loose the yellow plastic top cover thing) 1ea. Small table (2' x 2' x 3') 1ea. Ceramic Salad Bowl (small) Eddy's Ten Easy Step Roasting Process (so easy you can do it in the dark): 1) Set the table outside your house ( you can do it inside if you don't have fire alarms and don't care if the house fills with stout smelling blue smoke). 2) Plug the PopLite into the extension chord and then the extension chord into a 110V wall outlet (Safety first, men). (Running the PopLite for a minute or two while you're preparing the bean charge allows the system to become isothermal.) 3) Measure exactly, precisely, absolutely to the bean, 1/2 cup of green coffee beans (give or take 5 beans.) 4) Place the Metal Stirring Wand in your fastest stirring hand. 5) With your spare hand pour the precisely 1/2 cup of green coffee frijoles into the running, isothermal PopLite. 6) Stir the beans all the way to the bottom at about 120 RPM with a stainless steel stirrer with a bent tip and a wooden or plastic handle. 7) While constantly stirring, observe the following over the next 5-8 minutes (depending on ambient temperature and humidity) *beans begin to turn golden yellow *chaff releases from the bean and blows up and out of the PopLite *first crack occurs (sounds like popcorn for several seconds) *short dwell time of no (or low frequency) cracking occurs between first and second crack *second crack occurs (sounds like rice crispies for several seconds) *blue smoke begins *heavy blue smoke (beans are burned beyond drinkability unless you're Italian from Venice) 8) Depending on your intended roast level - somewhere between the first crack and the heavy blue smoke, put down the VanValkenburgMCSW and pick up the 6" diameter sifter in one hand and the still running PopLite in the other hand, pour the hot (very hot) beans out of the PopLite into the sifter. 9) Hold the sifter over the running PopLite about 6-9" above the top and shake the beans in the sifter to cool them in the air flow for about 10 seconds. 10) Pour the hot beans out of the sifter into the Salad bowl. Repeat 1-10 till you have enough coffee for 3-5 days. This process works well and consistently for me. It gives flexibility in finishing with the roast level I want to drink, e.g. City, City+, Full City, Full City+, French, Vienna, etc. I don't go by bean color, rather primarily by sound. I've roasted in pitch black of the night many times and ended up with the roast level I intended. I say "primarily by sound" because there are also distinct aromas that occur during the roast process. If you are shooting for a roast between first and second crack you might also key on the aromas to guide you when to stop the process. After the first crack the beans have nearly doubled in size and have lost water weight. Most bean types will 'stir' themselves at this point. However, I typically continue to stir them for the whole process and believe this gives a more consistent roast. If you have too many beans being blasted out of the roaster, then add a few more to the 1/2 cup or stir a little faster! If the beans don't fully stir by themselves after the first crack finishes, then take a few beans out of the 1/2 cup initial measure. Different origin beans have different density and you can adjust that out from the 1/2 cup starting point. It is typical for me to lose 5-10 beans on any given roast, even with steady stirring. The metal sifter and the PopLite are now tainted with coffee oils and your significant other will be rather unhappy with the flavors it gives to their use of it. So, they are now yours and dedicated to the fine art and science of coffee roasting. Do not close and cap the hot beans. 'They' claim that CO2 outgases from the bean for several hours. Whatever it is that outgases I like to let it happen for 3 - 24 hours before I store the roasted beans in a glass jar. Distinct taste differences occur for different 'outgassing' times. Never-the-less, I usually grind a few beans while they're still hot off the roast and have a truly fresh cup of coffee. Enjoy. I look forward to hearing about your tweaks or modifications to the process. Cheers, Eddy (ORIGINAL AUTHOR)

Awesome popcorn popper. Works as described. Popcorn some times gets stuff once they really get popping which requires you to unclog the popcorn to prevent burning.

Product Is Good But, For India Power Supply Volt Should Be 230 Volt. And This Product is Having 110 Volt. This Is Reason Which I Felt Sorry After Purchasing This Product.

Aufpassen !!!!! Ich hatte diese Maschine gekauft für den gebrauch in Deutschland ! Das klappt nicht auch nicht mit einem Adapter !!! Um diese Maschine nutzen zu können braucht man einen Konverter der die Voltzahl runterregelt !!! Ich bin sehr enttäuscht und kann diese Maschine keinem empfehlen der nur deutsche Netzteile verwenden kann !!! Ursprünglich wollte ich diese Maschine zurückschicken lassen aber es hätte mich weitere 21€ gekostet.....!!! Absolute frechheit sowas für Deutschland anzubieten und dann noch nicht einmal einen passenden Konverter mit beizulegen !!!!! Absolut KEINE kaufempfehlung meinerseits !!!!!

Its 110V not 220, so its not for UAE market, otherwise its good quality

La compre aprox hace 6 meses y ha no funciona, la usaba casi a diario
