oneConcept Rockkorn Popcorn Machine - Classic Popcorn Maker, For Crispy Popcorn, Stainless Steel, 350 W, High Yield 7 Retro 1950s Look, Pot with Biult-In Heating System, Vintage, Red

Tried a hot air popper before, it was rubbish. Although more expensive this works great, every time. The kids love it!

The media could not be loaded.  Arrived very fast and I absolutely love it!! It was very well packaged and is in great condition. It produces great popcorn and looks great. Heats up first and then instantly starts popping cornIt is also easy to clean, the kettle is easy to take out and wipe, and the windows can just be wiped with a paper cloth (or sometimes washed with water and detergent on a cloth.Warning, the metal popcorn fittings do get red hot so children must be supervised, lest they be tempted to put their hands in to fish any bits of stray popcorn out. Also, use the measures provided for oil & popcorn and do not be tempted to overfill the popcorn measure, or even measure a heaped amount, as this overfulls the machine and it gets stuck, so that you cannot turn the handle to tip the popcorn. Extracting it manually in this event risks hurting you (dangerously hot) and damage to the machine.I received this product at a reduced price/free for an honest and unbiased review. My comments are all genuine and true to my experience of the product.

The media could not be loaded.  The oneConcept Rockkorn Popcorn Maker is a good size and looks quite impressive but it’s a lightweight device that’s easy enough to move around. The clear sides feel a bit flimsy but overall it seems reasonably sturdy, although it’s definitely for home and not commercial use. It has the look of the commercial units though and if you have a home cinema room it would be the perfect accessory. It’s a traditional hot-oil unit, not a hot air type, and inside the clear box is a popcorn kettle that heats and fries the popping corn while simultaneously stirring it so it cooks evenly. The kettle part gets seriously hot in use so obviously you’d have to keep curious children's fingers well away although they’re mesmerised by the process, especially when popped corn starts tumbling out of the kettle and into the tray beneath.There’s no assembly to do when you unpack it, everything is pretty much ready to go, but be aware that the plug is an UK adaptor fitted over a two-pin European plug, so it’s a bit clunky and needs a bit more clearance than a standard UK plug would. The kettle is permanently wired into the main unit with a heat-protected cable which is just long enough to allow the kettle to be held outside of the main unit for cleaning. There’s a little heatproof handle used to tip the kettle forward and empty out any popcorn left inside into the tray below. The inside of the kettle is non-stick and there’s a simple wire stirrer that keeps the popping corn moving, powered by a motor in the top of the main unit. There’s also a small lightbulb in the top of the unit which adds a bit of atmosphere to the whole process.To make a batch of popcorn you first allow the kettle to heat up for a couple of minutes and then switch off, add one scoop of oil and one scoop of popping corn (the two measuring scoops are supplied) and switch it back on. Within a few minutes things start popping and soon you get a quick avalanche of freshly popped popcorn overflowing from the kettle and into the tray. The two metal flaps on top of the kettle just lift up and allow the popcorn to fall out while keeping the worst of the oil spatters inside. Once the popping stops just switch off the kettle and tip it forward (carefully because it’s extremely hot) to empty the last few kernels out and you’re done. It all works really well and, as long as you don’t leave it cooking after it’s done, there are no burnt bits at all spoiling the batch - we always seem to get those with microwave popcorn. You do get some un-popped kernels, these seem to get thrown out of the kettle when the popcorn first overflows, carried along by the popcorn avalanche, but there aren’t that many of them. It’s important not to overload the kettle with popping corn, the supplied scoop is just right and if you use any more than a rounded scoop there’s a logjam effect and popcorn gets stuck in the kettle and starts burning. One scoop of popping corn makes enough popcorn enough to fill the supplied tray, which is about enough for four medium servings or two big (though not huge) servings.The only issue with the popcorn maker is the cleaning afterwards, this is more awkward than you’d like. The inside of the main unit gets a few oil spatters but it’s reasonably easy to wipe those away, although the brackets holding the kettle get in the way. The kettle itself cannot be removed from the main unit so you have to wipe it clean while it’s still attached by its umbilical cable. The non-stick pan isn’t too difficult, you can treat it like a seasoned frypan and just give it a wipe with a paper towel, but the metal flaps get quite oily and need more attention. The other issue is that just after you’ve made a batch it’s far too hot to clean and has to be left to cool. This is slightly awkward if you want to make another batch straight away - you need asbestos fingers and something to remove any kernels or crumbs left in the kettle so they don’t burn and taint the next batch - a pastry brush is a handy tool for that, if you have one handy.Apart from the cleaning it’s a great device and makes having popcorn an event and a treat, plus it make nicer popcorn than microwaves do and without all the weird flavouring and additives. There are lots of ways to flavour your own popcorn, try Googling it for some ideas, but if you just want a simple salted or sweet option just put your popcorn into a clean plastic bag or container and add either a few shakes of salt or a spoonful of icing sugar, hold the bag closed with some air inside and give it a thorough shake - you’re done. Try adding some ground cinnamon to the icing sugar for a yummy sweet alternative, or add some chilli or cayenne to the salt for a spicy one.

A nice gimmicky product. The construction of the project is in fantastic and the release mechanism to get the popcorn out some more flimsy, occasionally fallen off its cradle which takes some time to put back in. If this is to be used as a one off low-frequency device and would probably work, however I was in a cinema in our house and perhaps gets too much use for the quality of this machine.

Diciamo abbastanza pratico nell'utilizzo. Le vetrinette e il tettuccio interamente di plastica non sembrano molto resistenti, si flettono a pressione. Tuttavia fa la sua discreta figura estetica, specialmente in un salotto a tema cinema come il mio.La pulizia richiede un po' di accortezza, ma non c'è molto da fare poiché l'olio evapora per la maggior parte.Geniale l'illuminazione accessoria con lampadina di 10W, si può quasi usare come abat-jour...

Très beau produit, il fait vraiment un bel effet dans ma cuisine. Le pop corn se fait très facilement et rapidement. En plus, il est vraiment très bon. Le seul point négatif c'est le nettoyage, il faut impérativement le faire dès que la machine est froide et en plus, ce n'est pas très pratique. Mais en tout cas, avec mon fils on adore.

Diseño precioso sin parecer antiguo o ñoño como otras, parece una máquina como las de los cines. Se limpia fácilmente ya que el cubilete se saca y se le puede quitar el cable. Las hace muy ricas y en poco tiempo. Cantidad perfecta para una persona. Hace perfectamente las palomitas. Salen del cubo ellas solas. No quedan apelmazadas. Lleva un mecanismo que las va "removiendo" y por eso salen tan bien. Ensucia tan poco que yo ni la limpio. Además de tener una gran calidad, es barata comparada con otras.

Très bien pour le prix, excellent produit

Bellissima macchina per popcorn. Se volete qualcosa di valido che non scaldi subito questa è la migliore per qualità prezzo . Semplice da usare bella da vere un po' scomoda da pulire.
