This is an Atom Popper, made right here in the flatlands of Kansas. I saw something on the internet about a chef making popcorn in a metal bowl instead of a popper. You needed heavy pot holders or gloves to hold the metal bowl in order to shake it. A wok was mentioned. Well here is the answer to all that fol der rol. It has actual wooden handles. And shaking is unnecessary because all the kernels on the bottom stay there until they pop (or not) and the lovely popped corn rises to the top. It is a joy to use and we had one many years ago. Where it disappeared to, I'll never know. This one showed up at a thrift store and I grabbed it. Best item ever to top corn.

Yeah! We just let the microwave do the work. REmember the popper that you had to stir with a handle on the top...round and round:)
ReplyDeleteMy dad used a heavy skillet, lard and a lid and he shook the devil out of it!
