Title: Makes chewy popcorn
Product review: I asked for this popper for Christmas based on all the good reviews it got. I have tried more than one brand of fresh, brand new kernels in this machine while following the directions to a "T". Every batch comes out chewy, not crunchy or fresh as it should. Even the bagged popcorn tastes less stale than popcorn freshly popped in this popper. I was looking for an alternative to microwave popcorn because of the reports lately that the bags release some kind of chemical into the popcorn and also that the microwave bags emit a chemical into the air when popping that can cause something called "popcorn lung" -- there is actually a lawsuit pending over this against Con Agra foods. Anyway, this popper did not end my search for a quality popcorn popper. I will stick to organic pre-popped popcorn you can find in the chip isle until I find one worth its salt (and butter). A real shame. We'll be selling this popper at a charity garage sale in a couple weeks.
