Will the Lindy popper stirrer pop corn without my having to shake the pan?

Yes there is a crank on the top you turn when it starts popping. Don't have to turn it constantly. Works as well as whirlybird pop but looks better and is a better kettle being stainless rather than aluminum. Swear my husband uses it daily. Pops with olive oil very well

Yes, it has a stirring blade that works well. It runs along the bottom, but not touching to cause friction, run by a crank handle.

Yes, that is what I have. I start out at the highest temp but as soon as it starts popping, I turn it down to med-high and turn the crank constantly but slowly. I use coconut oil but I do not salt or butter the corn. You have to experiment with your own unit. I am sure not all cook tops cook exactly the same. I have not burned the popcorn yet nor have I scratched my glass cook top...and I love this popper. I even purchased it as a gift for someone else.

It's probably not a good idea to put salt in the popper. I can't see a reason for doing it while popping though. There is no warning for not doing it from the manufacturer.

No, you do not shake. You put 3 tablespoons of oil in it. I like to use canola or olive oil. Plus you put 1/2 cup of regular popcorn. I personally like to use organic when I can find it. Lady finger popcorn doesn't work that well. I use mine on a glass top & my camper gas stove. Made in the USA & good quality. The wood handles are even hand made. This popper was designed off a antique design that a teacher had. Let me know if you should have any other questions. This popper gets tons of use. My best friend also bought one for herself.

The popper I ordered came with a thin metal scoop but no salt shaker. Hope that helps.

Thank you for your inquiry. The Lindy's stainless steel popcorn popper is good for making kettle corn popcorn.

Yes you need to keep turning it manually the entire time it pops. It's fun though and only takes a few minutes once it starts popping. Their movie kit is worth it. Best popcorn I've ever had.

I have used it about 10 times now and have never noticed this problem. The only thing is it is heavy but you only need to lift it to pour popcorn out when done. I am getting used to it and like it.

I've used Orville Redenbacher's butter flavoured oil, and some shake-on stuff that I bought at WalMart, and it's fine. I haven't experimented much as I prefer just to pop the corn and add butter and salt after it's popped.

I put a large wooden spoon underneath the front of the popper, leaning it slightly backwards. Anything to prop the front up would work. The wooden spoon just seems to be the right height needed to still allow the popped popcorn to build up and flow out. I remove the spoon once the popped popcorn starts to flow. At the end there's a few unpopped kernels that fly if I don't turn off the machine, hold the bowl up blocking the opening or putting the spoon underneath the backside. I prefer to just turn it off.

It does "Just OK" in spreading the butter, but that also makes cleanup much messier. (Therefore, we don't use that feature) We melt the butter in the microwave and then add it when the popping is done. All-in all we LOVE this popper!!!

Being stainless steel, there should be no problem as long as the bottom is flat. It will be slower than gas but just wait til the oil is hot before adding popcorn.

This unit does have a auto stirrer and the popcorn is excellent. I am very happy with my unit and I use it almost everyday. It is very easy to clean and again the popcorn tase great.

It should feel like hard butter which you can dent by squeezing. After you exude it from the package into the heat of the popcorn maker it will melt, and within 15 seconds it will be all liquid and you can pour in the popcorn kernels and seasoning.

No, it will not slide off. The design prevents no shaking and no sliding! Awesome popcorn popper!
