Hamilton Beach 73302 Hot Oil Popcorn Popper Make a favorite movie theater treat at home in just minutes. The Hamilton Beach Hot Oil Popcorn Popper is easy to use. Simply add kernels and your choice of oil, plug it in and let the fun begin. Everyone can have their own bowl of popcorn as this popper makes up to 24 cups per batch, and the popper lid inverts to become the serving bowl. Customize the flavor by adjusting the seasonings to your liking. The built in butter well lets you melt butter into the freshly popped kernels while popping, or you can have it plain for a healthy snack. Ease of use Make preparing this snack so easy it will become routine during family movie night. For buttery popcorn, add your desired amount of softened butter into the well. As the popcorn pops, heat from the popper melts the butter into the freshly popped kernels. When the popcorn is ready, unplug the popper, place the lid cover over the butter well, invert the popper and remove popper base. The lid doubles as a serving bowl. For compact storage, the popper base and cord fit inside the lid. Make a little or a lot Make a big bowl or a single serving of hot and delicious theater-style popcorn in minutes. Measure your oil into the popper, add the kernels onto the popping plate and plug it in. When the popping slows down to 2 seconds between pops, unplug and your popcorn is ready to eat. Pop any amount between 4 and 24 cups, the motorized stirring arm keeps kernels moving for maximum popping. Easy to clean Cleaning up is a snap since the lid doubles as the serving bowl. After the popper is completely cooled, wash the lid and lid cover in warm soapy water. A nonstick popping plate means no sticky mess. The popper plate and outside of the popper can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Personalize to your taste Popcorn kernels cost pennies per batch and everyone likes it. Making your own popcorn lets you have complete control over the ingredients. Use different kinds of oil depending on your personal preference. Customize your snack the way you want, healthy or decadent, it’s up to you.
