Orville Redenbacher's Hot Air Popper

No, this unit is designed exclusively for hot air popping. It uses high-velocity hot air to circulate and pop the kernels, which means you don't need to add oil during the popping process.

This popper can produce up to 18 cups of popped corn per batch. It is designed to pop quickly, making it efficient for movie nights or large gatherings.

You should not add butter, oil, or seasonings directly into the popping chamber, as this can damage the unit and create a fire hazard. Instead, use the included measuring scoop, which doubles as a butter melter, to melt butter while the popcorn pops, then drizzle it over your bowl afterward.

While the design is engineered to minimize waste, hot air poppers typically leave a small number of unpopped kernels behind. This is standard for the technology, though this specific model is noted for its efficiency in reducing that amount.

The popper measures 14.5 x 9.5 x 6.5 inches. Its compact, upright design makes it relatively easy to store in most standard kitchen cabinets or pantry shelves.
