Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hello Kitty 3-qt. Popcorn Popper - KT5230
Customer Review: Goodbye Kitty
Summary: 2 Stars
The 3 star reviewer gave a pretty good review. Which is why I am surprised he gave it 3 stars. I have used it 3 times now, and burnt the popcorn 3 times now...
First off, the "butter well" as stated is not a well at all. Picture an upside down bowl with holes drilled in the top (no, not a colander, well, yes!) and you i guess put the butter on the top for it to "shower" down on the popcorn... (which it also says do not use butter or marg inside the popper because it will smoke)... then are supposed to put a lid on the hole (i had to pry off lid with a knife)... and flip it and not drip any butter, okay right...
Second, the biggest problem is the rotating rod stops rotating and then the popcorn starts burning, this happens when it gets full obviously, but for me is happening halfway even, and the popcorn isn't done, so you either burn it, or flip it and have half a bowl of kernels...
Had I understood this was not an air popper, had I felt like reading it and not buying it because it was on clearance, I would not have bought it. I won't take it back because it really wouldn't be worth the trip...
And finally, the popcorn isn't very good. I don't know much about popcorn. But it seems like you are supposed to keep the kernels moving. This popcorn sits still until it pops, and you have a glorious half-sided popcorn kernel that will break your teeth. I mean, I know ocassionally you have those hard kernelly pieces, but there is mostly hard kernely pieces here.
But it is fun for kids.... which is why I give 2 stars, not 1.
