Is this good for making kettle corn popcorn?

Hi, I'm not sure what kettle corn is. I make smoked seaweed and salt popcorn and a gorgeous crunchy caramel corn.

We love this popcorn maker! It is heavy and high quality. Our old whirley pop did not work on our new induction cooktop, but this one works great. I would highly recommend it, it is worth every penny!

It's the best I've ever used. It's heavy duty steel, with no plastic parts to break, as so many of these kettles have. It makes really great popcorn. I love it so much, I've bought them for gifts for my various family members. I've successfully used a number of different types of corn, all delicious. It pops almost every corn kernel,so virtually no waste. I love it. I recommend using coconut oil - it really enhances the flavor. You need only a small amount for a full pot.

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

We like it better. We use Great Northern Popcorn portion packs. It is a tri-pack product that comes with the right amounts of oil, popcorn and salt for our 6 oz machine. Just pour it all in the kettle and wait for it to pop, Super easy and it makes a lot. We love our machine and it has been a big hit with all our guest.

Any similar design hot air popcorn popper like this is not compatible with seasoned corn; you have to add your seasoning/butter after it pops. Some better machines may have a small tray that sits on top that uses the heat to pop the corn to also melt the butter. I had one of those when I was a kid but the butter tray was too small for a large popcorn bowl. If you have a microwave oven, melt the butter in there. It's extremely fast and if you do it in a Pyrex measuring cup, the pour spout makes it easy to drizzle the butter where you want.

Absolutely, I don't know how large your popper is so I can't recommend an exact amount, but I put a little bit inside of my popper with the oil and kernels, and then also sprinkle a little on after the corn is popped. Comes out perfect and taste like movie theater popcorn.

Don't know...would not buy this popcorn maker as it leaves a lot of unpoped popcorn.

Yes to kettle corn! I don't know about roasting nuts. We use cast iron for that.

Yes but don't buy it. It makes terrible popcorn. Get the normal stir crazy.

Yes, it makes GREAT Kettle Corn! See my review on this product for my recipe! Edog1955: "Great For Making Kettle Corn"It takes a little more time to clean out the popper, but worth it. I have made batches of kettle corn back-to-back without washing and it was OK.

Honestly, we've only tried Shop Rite brand popcorn in ours....It works just fine with our popper and is relatively inexpensive...We bought another one for a family member as a Christmas gift and the love theirs as well using Orville Redenbacher popping corn. The key is to not overload the unit...we use about 1/4 cup at a time and you have to adjust the cooking time for your microwave...enjoy if you decide to purchase one.

Absolutely. Makes fabulous popcorn and is its own serving container. It is a little large for storage.

I do not have a recipe for kettle corn. I have bought and used it yesterday, Ma's Kettle Corn popcorn seasoning from www.GreatNorthernPopcorn.com. I may not have put enough on the corn to give it a great kettle corn taste but it came out pretty good. You can try it and experiment for your taste.Bob

Yes. I found a recipe for kettle corn on their website - required you to add sugar just before popping. Came out wondefully!

I do not have a stovetop kettle. I use a Presto Electric Popcorn Popper. This is what I do: 2 tablespoons of oil for 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels, or 3 tablespoons of oil for 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels. The amount of salt is to personal taste.

Yes. I purchased it mainly to pop popcorn, but we have used it to fry shrimp and fresh fries. We love it.

Never tried it, but if you are gentle with it, it shouldn't tear up the kernels. Good luck and enjoy the corn!!!

I have ground hard Indiana popcorn for corn bread.... it grinds that pretty well, but is a lot of work hand cranking! I use the drill attachment and that helps a lot!
