Overview
A stainless-steel kettle with a built-in stirrer does the popping in this red Matinee machine, inside tempered glass food zones. The reject kernel tray catches unpopped kernels, and a warming light holds finished corn ready.
The reason to buy is a movie-theater look with party-sized output and a box of accessories: buckets, bags, measuring cups and a scoop. The limitation is size, since this is a large countertop machine, and kettles and bulbs carry a much shorter warranty than the machine.
Who it's for
Movie nights, parties and game rooms where a decorative machine can stand on a counter or stand. Small kitchens and occasional snackers will find a stovetop popper or a smaller machine easier to store.
Pros and cons
- Party-sized batch output
- Stainless-steel kettle with stirrer
- Reject kernel tray for cleanup
- Buckets, bags and scoop included
- Large and heavy
- Kettle and bulb warranty is short
- Needs counter space
- Cleaning still by hand
Performance notes
The built-in stirrer holds kernels in motion in the heated kettle so they pop evenly, and un-popped kernels fall into the reject tray for disposal. The interior wipes down with a damp cloth, and the warming light holds popped corn ready to serve.
