Does popcorn have an expiration date?
No, popcorn does not have an expiration date. As long as it stays in an airtight container, it will retain it's moisture and stay fresh.
Why is the Real Theater Oil a solid instead of a liquid?
The Real Theater Oil is coconut oil. A characteristic of coconut oil is that it changes it's consistency based on the temperatures it is in. If it's cold, it will be more of a solid, if it is warm, it will be more of a liquid.
Where is the best place to store my popping kernels prior to use?
The ideal place to store your popping kernels is in a dry, cool cupboard.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Although it is lightweight aluminum, it has proven perfectly durable, even though I was a bit skeptical of the thinness of the metal and the little stirring arms when I got it. The whole family, including kids, use it. It's been dropped once or twice, too! You don't really need the heat retention of thicker metal like cast iron for popping popcorn, as long as the bottom is hot enough, which I've never had trouble obtaining.
I use oil only: olive oil most times, corn oil in a pinch. I followed a reviewer's advice not to wash it with soap and water or put it in the dishwasher. All I do is wipe it out after a batch. As with cast iron, it has developed a light seasoned coating on the bottom, which enhances the non-stick quality of the bottom surface. That's why I say it works slightly better now than it did the first day. Early on I would sometimes get a kernel stuck to the bottom; now that doesn't happen at all. All popped kernels rise to the top and the unpopped fall to the bottom till it's done. And I use cheap generic popcorn most times.
The gears and stirring rod still work just fine. You don't have to crank it fast. A lazy one rotation a second always works for me. If you feel a kernel slip under the stirring rod at the bottom (you'll feel a slight drag), just reverse direction and it usually comes out from underneath. I don't know if other people crank it rapidly but perhaps that leads to more wear on the gears? That said, my kids still crank it fast and I've had no problems.
The only maintenance I've done on it a couple times is to bend slightly the little metal clips that secure the cover's side flaps to the pot. After many openings and closings, these can get a little loose. It's just like the metal clip that keeps a typical mailbox shut. Just press it inward slightly and it secures tightly, good as new.
I don't think I'll ever go back to electric poppers or microwave bag popcorn. Microwave bag popcorn tends to burn or waste a lot, it's relatively expensive, and it's got all kinds of fake flavors I don't enjoy. (If you like those, you can always buy "movie theater" flavored oil at the store.) Popping our own corn, everyone can add whatever amount of butter, salt, etc. they like. I've owned a few electric models, and besides being noisy, they're slower, they've failed after a few years, and while better than microwave bags, electrics still tend to spit unpopped kernels into the bowl. And if you have kids, you might know the drill with electric poppers: if the bowl gets bumped, the butter-melter is removed, the lid knocked accidentally, popcorn goes flying everywhere. Whirley-Pop is tidy. Of course you have to watch younger kids if they're novices using the stove. But compared to an electric popper, I've gotten a far better return on my investment with Whirley-Pop. It's simple, so there's far less to break: no switches to fail, fans to break down, or coils to burn out. Storing it is easier too. There's no parts to keep track of -- it stores as a unit under the cupboard. Again, a boon with kids.
The only "pro tip" I've developed is to pour in the oil, then the kernels, crank it once or twice to spread them out and coat them with oil, then give it a little side-to-side shake. The stirring arm tends to push the kernels all to the outside initially. Shake it a little, and you get a nice even layer of kernels on the bottom. Then apply heat. I leave it heating like that, without stirring but giving an occasional little shake, for the first minute or two until the first pop -- all the kernels heat evenly and tend to pop more at one time. What really gets them all going, however, is that there's a cascade when the steam escaping from popping kernels creates more heat energy in the pot. This might be why electric poppers take so long -- they're blowing out all the heat energy they've generated in the bowl converting water to steam, whereas Whirley-Pop confines it as steam for cooking. Just take care to have your hand aside when dumping the batch out, since steam will escape if you dump it immediately, which I tend to do -- either because the gas stove burner grid still retains a lot of heat even when the burner is off or sometimes I'm overzealous in measuring a half-cup and it starts to get jam-packed. But in this case, just dump from the top and keep going, and everything turns out fine.
All-in-all, this machine has been fabulous: works flawlessly, extremely economical, easy to maintain, and durable. If ever it breaks, which I don't expect, I'd buy another one immediately.
First, I turn the burner on to medium-high heat (6-7 on the dial where 10 is HI). I immediately pour in a full tablespoon of oil. (NOTE: be sure to carefully follow the clear and well-written native English instructions on what oils to use and to avoid. I made the mistake early on of thinking that I could use butter instead of oil. It scorched the bottom of the pan permanently. I should have listened to my wife...and read the instructions.) Then I add just under 1/3 cup of unpopped corn. This makes enough for me to have a generous serving. If I'm popping for our four young sons, then I add an additional tablespoon of oil and use a full 1/2 cup of corn. (I believe that's the maximum the popper is rated for.) I immediately give the easy-to-turn handle several cranks to coat the kernels with oil, then I give the pan a few gentle side-to-side shakes to evenly distribute the kernels across the bottom of the pan.
While the popper is warming up, I prepare about a tablespoon of heart-healthy margarine in a small, microwave-safe container. I melt it in the microwave by heating it for 20 seconds at 50% power. Then I begin slowly turning the crank (about one turn every 1-2 seconds). Once the corn reaches the peak of enthusiastic popping, I turn the heat off. I continue to slowly rotate the crank (always in the clockwise direction, as the rotating tines inside the kettle are made for that direction) until the popping pretty much ceases. As the kettle fills with popped kernels, the handle may feel stuck. I simply put a little back pressure on the crank then proceed to turn again. That typically dislodges any minor jams.
As the popping ceases, I immediately and carefully pour the popped corn into a large bowl. Beware of the steam coming through the well-vented lid both during popping and while pouring. It is very hot. (The steam is the result of the tiny water droplets inside the kernels reaching boiling point then exploding the kernel into an inside-out nugget of joy.) I then set the kettle back onto the stove on a cool burner with the lid open to allow the aluminum to cool. I remove the melted margarine from the microwave and drizzle it over the hot corn. I then turn the margarine container upside down and set it on top of the pile of corn so that the last savory drops of margarine trickle out. I salt to taste, then I take a large spoon in one hand and the margarine container in the other (as though they were salad forks) and fluff the corn to mix the margarine and salt.
I then sit down in front of a documentary on Netflix and enter the blissful state of popcorn-eating.
As I said, we have used this popper heavily for over 2 years. It still works great. Although the aluminum can get blistering hot, our boys have learned to hold the large, wooden handle with one hand and turn the crank with the other (always under adult supervision). It's very safe, and very comfortable. My only fault with it is that it's not the easiest thing to clean: lots of nooks and crevices. However, that's far from a deal-breaker. When we retire this little unit, we'll replace it with another one just like it.
Hope this helps.
I've noticed a few reviews mentioning their popcorn being stale or chewy. The occasions that this has happened to me were when I didn't immediately lift the lid and empty into a bowl after popping. When the popcorn is left in the steamy kettle for any amount of time, it can take on a chewy texture. Have your container ready so you can dump your popcorn into it as soon as it comes off the stove. Letting it sit for a few minutes after empting it into the bowl also seems to improve the texture.
This model has metal gears, which is what you want if you're planning on using it often or with glazes. I found a caramel glaze here on Amazon. I think it's made by the same company that makes Flavacol. Anyway, it's amazing and works great in the Whirley Pop. Take it off the heat as soon as the popping slows down and there's no sticking or burning.
It's easy to clean. We usually just wipe it off after use unless we're using sugary glazes. And it seems really sturdy. It looks brand new even after daily use and I predict it's going to last a long time to come.
And did I mention that it's fun? Seriously, there's something incredibly satisfying about turning the hand crank as the popcorn pops away.

Used it last night. Great popcorn, rinse in warm soapy water and good as new. Thank you
Los acabados son muy detallados y auqnue el material da la apariencia de ser muy fragil ya llevo varias preparaciones y no muestra daño alguno.
Si buscas la preparación de palomitas bajas en grasa te recomiendo este producto, pones una cucharadita o media cafetera de aceite de maiz o de olivo, mas media taza de maiz palomero y a moverle, esto te da como resultado una carga completa de palomitas en tan solo unos 3 a 5 minutos dependiendo de la capacidad de tu estufa, parrilla u hornilla.
La sal tu la dosificas a tu gusto, y si quieres mantequilla sugiero la coloques posterior a que hayan reventado los maices, ya que la mantequilla puede manchar el aluminio y dificilmente se le quita.
