"Mmmm, POPCORN ! ! !"
...I can almost hear somebody exclaim whenever I look at this heavy, well-constructed, state-of-the-art machine. I bought mine from a non-Amazon dot-com store, distinguished with another banner, but it's the same model and color scheme, fire-engine red frame with a deep blue bonnet. The metal bric-a-brac helps hold your full snack cartons on top. It's a simple, classic design that grows on you with each passing day.
The Original 1911 is producedby Paragon, makers of the best theatre-style popcorn machines around. You have to be somewhat of an afficionado to fully appreciate it. These machines are designed to make popcorn quickly and efficiently, the crispest and fluffiest possible, with no toughness or excess unpopped kernels, at the same time providing an attractive display. They are very durable and made to withstand commercial use, justifying their high price.
Being hotter than most home popcorn makers, you must use a fat or oil with a saturated and/or...
Great addition to our home theater
We really enjoy our 1911 popcorn machine. We've had it for about 2 year now and it makes great tasting popcorn in about 5-6 minutes. The first couple times we used the machine we followed the manufactures instructions to preheat the machine for several minutes then add the ingredients. (We use the pre-packaged popcorn packs). Both time the popcorn burnt and there was a lot of smoke. Now we Do Not preheat. We add all the ingredients, in the popcorn pack, to the kettle first, then turn the machine on. We get great popcorn everytime and very little smoke (you always get a little). We turn the machine off immediately when the popping slows down and dump the remaining contents of the kettle. If you let things stay in the kettle then you'll get more smoke. Sounds like a lot of work but kids really enjoy watching it pop and the popcorn tastes just like theater popcorn. Clean-up is easy. We just wipe everything out with a paper towel and occassionally I use a vinegar based glass cleaner on it...
