Review: Makes amazing kettle corn! - We love fresh stovetop popcorn! It’s not WhirleyPop quality, but it works great. I love using it to make sweet and salty kettle corn. Review: POP-ular in our Home! 😁 - Fantastic! I’ve been using this style of popcorn popper for years! This my ninth rotation style stovetop popper in over 20 years (we’ve replaced quite a few over the years, they don’t last forever). It makes fantastic popcorn, quickly and easily! So far this popper has proven to be better than any of the models I’ve tried previously. It’s relatively sturdy and for no reason I can discern, comes clean a little easier (it's not easy to clean, but easier than other similar poppers). We pop popcorn almost every day at our house and so far this one has been a workhorse! PROS: 1. Pops a batch of popcorn in a FLASH! 2. Super easy to use. 3. Rotating arm prevents burned kernels (I still manage to burn a few from time to time, but only when I walk away and don't spin the arm constantly). 4. Seems to pop almost every kernel as opposed to simply using a large saucepan. 5. Sturdier than some other models. CONS: 1. Doesn't stand up to dishwasher cleaning, and is a little bit of a pain in the behind to clean. 2. Can get a little misshapen and become warped if it gets too hot or you put water in/on it while it's still hot. 3. Kind of pricey for a popcorn popper (well worth it, in my opinion, but it is kind of spendy. TIPS: 1. If you char some kernels in the bottom of the pan, or it just starts to get difficult to clean, use Barkeeper’s Friend (with a Brillo or SOS pad if it's REALLY bad)...it works wonders on these poppers. 2. Set your heat just under medium high and almost every kernel will pop, without scorched bits or smoking and burning. BOTTOM LINE: I have tried every style of popcorn popper out there over the years, and not only does this style top the list, but this particular model is one of the best of its type that I've used. Worth it! ## Features - EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION -The Cook N Home Stovetop Popcorn Popper is made of heavy-duty aluminum that conducts heat quickly and evenly, resulting in evenly heated food and better cooking results. - WOODEN HANDLE - The popcorn pot handle is made of high-quality wood, which has good heat resistance, is not easily deformed or hot to the hand, has a comfortable feel, and stable grip, and is not easy to slide or fall off. - DURABLE ALL METAL GEARS - All metal gears have good transmission efficiency, which can effectively transfer power to the pot. More quickly heat and stir each Corn kernel until it bursts to prevent adhesion/combustion. - FOUR STEAM PORTS - It can make popcorn in a short time, help the water in the pot evaporate quickly, ensure that the Corn kernel can be heated evenly, avoid burnt and incompletely popped popcorn, and reduce the accumulation of oil in the pot, making it easier to clean. - INDUCTION INCOMPATIBLE - Popcorn popper is suitable for gas, electrical, ceramic, glass, etc. Induction is not compatible, since the aluminum pot bottom is not ferromagnetic, it cannot be used for induction heating. Not dishwasher safe, wipe with a cloth to clean. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07PNLP3J9 | | Best Sellers Rank | #129,295 in Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Kitchen ) #148 in Popcorn Poppers | | Brand | Cook N Home | | Brand Name | Cook N Home | | Capacity | 6 quarts | | Color | Silver | | Colour | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 6,474 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00813046026268 | | Included Components | 6-Quart Stovetop Popcorn Popper | | Is Electric | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 41.9L x 24.1W x 17.8H centimeters | | Item Type Name | Popcorn Popper Pot | | Item Weight | 794 g | | Manufacturer | Cook N Home | | Material | Aluminum Wood | | Model Number | 02626 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 02626 | | Product dimensions | 41.9L x 24.1W x 17.8H centimeters | | Special Features | Gas Stovetop Compatible | | Special features | Gas Stovetop Compatible | | UPC | 813046026268 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cook N Home - **Capacity:** 6 quarts - **Colour:** Silver - **Material:** Aluminum Wood - **Special features:** Gas Stovetop Compatible ## Images ![Cook N Home 02626 6 Quart Aluminium Stovetop Popcorn Popper Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xcz8dqdUL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where is this product made?** A: I would assume somewhere over seas but it doesn't matter imo. It's good quality and makes very tasty popcorn. I use butter oil to cook the kernels in and as a topping. **Q: Is the popcorn maker magnetized** A: The stainless version I purchased from Amazon is magnetic and works well on our induction cooktop. **Q: Are the gears made of plastic or metal? All these poppers look the same. We had one that looked like this but the plastic gears didn't last long.** A: The gears are metal. Do not let that fool you into thinking that this is a quality product. The fit on the parts is horrible. It took 15 - 20 minutes of bending pieces to make it work acceptably -- the gears did not mesh properly and would slip if there was any resistance. And the stirrer did not reach the bottom of the pan, so it skipped over the popcorn. Buy an original Whirley Pop. Last time I checked, it was the same price. We had one for 15+ years. The only reason we replaced it with this product was because the lid's hinge broke. The nylon gears still showed NO wear after all that usage. I ended up buying some small galvanized hinges to repair the Whirley Pop and tossed the Cook N Home in storage. **Q: My popper's stirring rod doesn't reach far down enough to stir the kernels, so the popcorn comes out burnt. Has anyone else experienced this problem?** A: Have not experienced the issue you have. Mine works perfectly in that respect, the rod is of length it should be however, I sometimes need to adjust the 2 sweeps connected at the bottom of the rod that stirs the kernels. Perhaps you can try that to solve you issue. Otherwise I would contact the seller and send it back providing your purchase date is within the AMAZON return window. It's a great popper and is significantly better than the thin bottom aluminum poppers I have been purchasing every couple of years since the 90's. I am on my second one like this and the only issue I have is the inside bottom of the popper stains with oil and heat. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes amazing kettle corn! *by K***R on 25 February 2026* We love fresh stovetop popcorn!
