A truly fantastic popcorn popping pot... After a little bit of work.
By Tivo Man
My wife and I really wanted to be able to make Kettle Corn at home. We had developed a real hankering for the stuff when trying it at a local Movie Theater. Enough so that we would only go to Theaters that had it for sale. After realizing we were addicted we had two choices go broke going to the movies or figure out how to make it at home. Making it at home won out when I found several videos online that showed how to make it easily using a pot just like this one but a different brand.I came to Amazon to purchase that other brand pot. But after doing some research I found that it had been replaced by a much less liked version of it's former glory. After reading about a bunch of brands and looking for them locally I purchased this version of the popcorn popping pot over others because of claims that it was a more sturdy pot and the latching mechanisms to hold the lid down. I was worried about claims about the teeth and gears but decided to take the risk.The Good:I have been extremely pleased with those features that sold me on the Lindy's Popper. The pot is a good quality Stainless Steel pot with a nice heavy base. Given the heaviness of the metal I expect it to last for a very very long time.The latches that hold the top down are also very good. They latch positively and are quite strong. I can and do lift the pot to dump things out and it all stays in place with no play and no worry.The Bad:One thing I did find was that as other reviews have said the gears were not a great fit. But being something of a "I can fix that!" sort of guy I decided to try to fix it rather than just sending it back. I took a very good look at the gears mounted on the top of the pot and realized that they looked as if they had been made and then almost dipped in some more metal to make them shiny etc... It seemed to me like it was that dipped coating that was the problem. It had taken sharp clean gears and made them a soft rounded mess.So I decided to reshape the gears and try to solve the problem. I went out to the garage and got out a very small triangular file that I had in the garage. This file came as 1 of 8 files in a set from Home Depot for $9.94. I used this one because it most closely matched the shape of the gear teeth. I filed carefully and tested often and I had perfectly meshing gear teeth as a result. All in all it took less than 2 minutes to produce perfectly meshing gear teeth.Before I did the work on the gears they didn't mesh well at all and it flexed things enough to worry me about breaking. After the work they are smooth with no binding or flexing at all.The second issue was somewhat related the "paddle" at the bottom that stirs things to keep them from burning had wicked sharp edges on it. Enough so that I got a small nick on my hand and it cut the sponge I was cleaning it with. I took the file to those edges and in one or two passes over each edge with the file that sharpness was completely gone. This was again a minutes worth of work and solve that problem completely.The Summary:For the price? Honestly? I shouldn't have had to fix either of those things. It should have been in top notch form right out of the box. But they were also very easy fixes and it works so well that I am pleased with my purchase. I would absolutely recommend this popcorn popping pot to others, WITH the clear caveat of "you need to do the 2 following things" before the purchase was made.My wife and I have tweaked and played with kettle corn recipes ever since we got the pot and have it down to a science. We have made it probably 4 times a week since we got the pot. In fact... I think tonight is a good night for the next batch. So get this great pot. Spend 5 minutes fixing it up before the first use and you should have many years of great service.

By Dave's Reviews
We have used air poppers for years. We bought a new one, but the popcorn tasted plain, the heat made the plastic smell, so decided to look into stove top poppers. Decided against aluminum for potential health reasons, that narrowed the choices. While more expensive, I have been pleased so far. We have cooked up about six batches in the past couple of months, and the popper performs well. It leaves very few unpopped kernels even with Jolly Time white popcorn. It is fast, 3 to 4 minutes. I use two tablespoons of oil, canola and/or olive oil for half a cup of kernals. Wipe it out and your are done (I plan to wash it occasionally to make sure residue oil does not go rancid). The top is securely fastened as others have noted. The handle stays cool. The rotation of the crank handle is a little rough, but not significant at this time. If it wears well over the years, I will be very pleased. It was shipped quickly and came packaged well with no damage.Update 1-8-2013: I cook up popcorn 2 to 3 times a week. It has worked great. About 9 months ago the paddle blade that turns in the popper came off the weld on the shaft. I think I had put too much popcorn in. We contacted the company, and they sent a replacement paddle FREE. It was easy to install, just unscrewed the gear at the top center of the popper lid, took off the shaft with the missing paddle, and inserted the new shaft/paddle, and screwed it on, and presto good as new.We really like to use Steinke's Gourmet Popcorn. Baby rice is our favorite. Its tender small kernels are tasty, but we also really like Black Gourmet for a nutty crunchier taste. You can order it from [...] We buy it in the five pound bags. I like to use 3 tablespoons of canola oil, with a little Johnny's Season Salt added to the oil. I often add butter and if I want more flavor a little more Johnny's on the butter popcorn. Enjoy!

By Ratton
I am very pleased with this popcorn popper. I would rate it 9.5 out of ten. What impresses me the most is that it works on an induction stove!!! It pops perfect popcorn and I use it almost every day. The only negative is that the crank handle turns harder than it should, the rod alignment throuth the handle is not perfect; but it is getting easier the more I use it.I highly recommend it as it does an amazing job and I really prefer stainless steel over aluminum.
