Popcorn is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy a snack at any time with family and friends. You can eat it plain for a healthier snack or indulge with butter, salt, caramel or other toppings and seasonings. It is the perfect addition for parties, backyard BBQs or movie nights at home. The Elite Gourmet Hot Oil Popcorn Maker uses a quick heating nonstick cooking plate which increases the pop rate & performance to fully pop up to 4.5 quarts of popcorn in about 4 minutes! Features include the transparent cover with butter melting tray which not only allows you to see the kernels pop, but also transforms into a family-sized serving bowl when popping is complete. When popping is complete, simply flip grip the cool touch handles of the popcorn popper, flip upside down and the cover is now a serving bowl for your hot, fresh & delicious snack. The simple ON/OFF switch of the popcorn maker activates the heating surface and rotates the stirring rod, keeping the kernels moving to pop all the kernels and prevent burning. When finished, the non-stick heating surface is easy to clean and the dual-purpose cover and serving bowl is top-rack dishwasher safe. When popping is complete, simply unplug the hot oil popcorn popper, let cool, wipe the heating plate clean, wash the bowl/lid & store for the next use.
