Great Northern Popcorn 2-1/2-Ounce Black Tabletop Retro Style Compact Popcorn Popper Machine with Removable Tray



Great movie theater style popcorn.
This is a great size for one or two people when you want movie theater style popcorn.I have a older 8 ounce Gold Medal popcorn popper and this Great Northern is like a miniature version of the big commercial popcorn poppers. This makes a good large single serving or two medium servings from one of the 2.5 ounce pre measured bags of popcorn, salt and coconut oil. This is so much easier to clean and maintain than my large Gold Medal machine and I have a lot less wasted popcorn. Unless you need to make really large quantities of popcorn, I recommend the Great Northern Machine.

Love it!
I ordered this for my daughter's 5th birthday party-- 1 day shipping through Prime was a life saver!
Getting the basket in was a bit tricky, but a friend took care of it while I was finishing up the cake before the party.
I used coconut oil for popping and allowed the guests to salt/butter their own. I missed (if it was listed) that the unit came with a nice stack of bags, and went to the dollar store the day before the party and spent $15 on 30 plastic individual popcorn tubs. (These will be great to use in the future, of course.)
The best part, though, was after the party-- I made some kettle corn by adding about 1/4c of sugar when I added the oil & kernels.. it was so delicious that I don't anticipate packing the machine away like I originally thought-- I think it will be a permanent fixture in our retro themed kitchen :)

The service for this machine was excellent. The size is great because it uses very little space. I like the idea that the machine is very user friendly.
