Unboxing Nostalgia Air-Pop Popcorn Maker Machine and How to make popcorn with it

Hey guys today I got something very interesting .

Uh It's the nostalgia pop popcorn maker .

Ok .

Got this from Walmart .

And you can just buy online and pick up from the store .

It's uh , so it's you , you avoid shifting charge and this is for $10 .

Ok .

But don't let the low price uh , and small size for you .

This what I read online with reviews .

This is one of the best machines you can have .

Ok .

And that nice , nice red color as well .

So it makes hot and healthy air popped popcorn pops about 16 cups per batch .

That's a lot probably enough for four people .

Convenient countertop size .

Very small and it melts butter in the measuring cup while you're cooking the popcorn .

Ok .

Uh , so we have the machine , we're gonna unplug in a while and see how it works .

And meanwhile I purchased the great value yellow popcorn popping corn .

Ok .

This is like $2 a bag for 32 ounces .

That's a lot because it's great value made by Walmart .

And uh , uh , if you read the menu at the menu and yellow popcorn is actually better than the white variety .

It's easier to pop .

Ok .

So that , that's your preference basically .

So if you don't want to make your own seasoning , which is pretty easy .

You just use , uh , salt sugar and stuff .

But you have , you can buy these Ready Made seasoning from Walmart or other grocery stores about garlic , Parmesan cheese , cheesy jalapeno .

But there's a lot of varieties .

So you can see whatever you like and , uh , just season your popcorn .

So a bucket of whatever bowl you have with the lid .

Why do you need lid ?

I'll , I'll explain later .

And um , so that's something you may , may need .

Ok .

So let's open up this box .

Oh I actually , by , by the way , we do have butter , which is optional .

If you want butter , have some leftover butter , we can melt in the measuring cup later and pour it on top .

Ok ?

So let's open this box .

We've got a menu menu book .

It's already there takes out the machine look like this .

Hm Box is actually pretty small .

But if you take it out , you can see this is actually fairly big , big size , right ?

So this is the the top plastic tub which you will , you click in place .

And this is the measuring tub which you melt butter and measure the , the popcorn and the base is here , you see inside this is how deep that uh popping chamber is just pour the popping corn in the popping chamber .

And so this is on and off button .

Ok .

So let's leave it at off position and get the chord ready cord is in .

Now we're gonna put this , um , secure in place .

OK ?

Then put , put on before , uh , for the first time used , we want to wipe it out , right ?

Because it may be dirty uh , during the production .

So you , you wanna wipe it , I can basically use some alcohol wipe and wipe out this thing and then use a clean , uh , paper towel to wipe it dry .

Ok .

For the first time used , we're gonna take precautions and then get the , uh , extension cord ready .

Ok .

All right .

I have cleaned the machine with the alcohol wipe and wipe it dry with a paper towel .

So let's , uh , preheat .

This is important that you preheat the machine .

So you basically turn this on .

Ok ?

It's gonna be noisy , right ?

So it , it , it's important to take 3 to 5 minutes so that the machine is properly heated so that it will pop the corns properly .

Otherwise you , you may have a lot of un popped corns in there .

So , ok , make sure the security is put in place .

Actually , you want to do this before you eat it because the machine gets really hot when it's , you can feel the hot air here .

It's really hot when you turn on the machine .

So make sure when the machine is on , do not touch or let kids near it because it's very very hot .

It could burn somewhere .

So that's something we want to be careful about just like this .

Ok .

Give me 3 to 5 minutes while , while preparing other stuff that you clean up .

So , you know , open the pop bag from the , ok , so we can measure , this is a quarter cup .

Ok .

We're gonna measure just from that .

So according to the menu , it's important not to do more or less because if it's more , it may get burned .

If it's less , it may not get to proper .

Ok .

So exactly a quarter cup to the top .

Nothing more .

Nothing back .

Ok .

Ok .

So exactly yellow or so wait three minutes and we'll plug in meanwhile , in the bucket , I'm doing the machine right under the of the machine .

Um So we can pour this directly in and there's no need to put any seasoning right now or butter because you don't want all the things to stick in the , in the chamber , right ?

Get sticky and very messy .

So you just want to put the clean yellow popcorn in the machine to pour it in and let it pop into the .

So then we'll do the seasoning .

Ok .

Again , it's important not to let anybody or yourself touch the machine while it's operating really , really hot .

And also if you have small kids keep them away , you can give this machine a big space .

Ok ?

Make sure that nobody is near the machine when it's operating because the corns may pop out , the hot cor may pop out from the chamber and hit somebody on the , in the face or in the eye .

All right .

So I think that's about give it enough .

There's a three minutes here .

Ok .

Let's try that .

That's important .

That's important in OK .

You please the cup .

So give it a few minutes until we get to .

So I see the currents in there moving , stirring because of the heat .

You're gonna get the soon .

Did you hear that ?

The stopping ?

OK .

We start topping .

We're gonna put the butter in the pot on top , just queue it up later .

We need to pour it in .

Four .

Take a look .

Three in there .

OK ?

Now it's overflowing .

It's gonna grow through .

OK ?

So obviously you gonna stop when all the points are popped or wait until you don't hear the popping sound very frequently .

Like in the second , it should be two or more but it is less than two pops in a second .

Probably almost that .

Wow , that's not what the fuck it .

Some of them are already flying out .

So look at the stirring there .

It's like a whirlwind .

OK .

Ho here and look at the but butter it's melting there .

OK ?

So lets , let's look inside the chamber .

Not much left .

See only a few of them there .

I think that's done because I don't hear any popping sounds anymore .

So I'm gonna turn the machine off .

OK ?

Oh you have one more fuck .

Huh ?

So the results are pretty amazing .

Oh I shouldn't be touching this but I wanted you to see not much left there .

I think so .

Almost all popped , which is amazing results because we tried the um the microwave version of the popcorn and it's not doing as well .

It's uh almost a third of the microwave bag is un popped and now this quarter cup is almost all popped with uh one or two .

Maybe I can't even see that .

Ok .

So this is really good and the butter is melting slowly and we just leave it on there .

Use the leftover heat to melt all of them , but it should be done soon .

OK ?

So now we're gonna start doing the seasoning and it looks like this one is even not big enough .

Maybe we should next time we get a bigger container for that .

OK ?

So we're gonna put this in and then let's try the garlic parmesan while we're waiting for the butter to melt .

I'm gonna open this seasoning .

OK ?

And replace the tub .

So this is a flip top .

Yes .

Yeah .

So I can just pour literally on the top .

Why it's hot .

It's easier to stick to the hot corn again because it has got some cheese in there .

So the reason why a the container with the lid is that you want instead of stirring it , which is the result maybe uneven , you just toss it in the , in the , in the thing .

Right .

So that makes it more evenly and also you avoid any waste because otherwise it's gonna be all of a sudden you'll be sitting at the bottom also .

It's powdery .

You , it might cause coughing .

So , but if you put an , a lied container much better .

Ok .

So let's check that if it's even or not try one .

Hm .

I guess it's not enough for , for more .

So , depending on your preference , you could do more or less if it's not sticking to the popcorn .

What we want to try later is we'll put , um , we'll spray some water or oil .

Like you use oil , oil can , spray , can and spray a little bit to make it easier to stick on the popcorn .

Ok .

Uh , we can in .

So let's see the bottom .

Hm .

I think a bit more .

Very much .

Try it again .

Hm .

Not any better .

So , basically try this can continue to try this .

And also now we can pour the button in .

It's perfectly melted .

Ok .

Machine works really well .

So with the butter on the , on the popcorn actually should be way easier just for the season to stick to the , to the , of course .

Ok .

Yeah , that's how we make popcorn with this machine .

Make sure if you want to make a nice batch .

Leave the machine off for 10 minutes at least so that it doesn't overheat between branches .

Ok .

And to clean it basically just take the plastic top off .

You can wash it with hand and uh , water and , uh , for the inside chamber , obviously , you don't submerge in the water .

You just do the same thing .

Wipe it with a wet towel and dry , dry it with a dry towel .

That's it because you don't , you just need to wipe out the crumbs and , uh , you don't need to clean it too much because it's getting really hot and I , I don't think any uh bacteria cannot live in there .

Ok .

So no need to over clean .

And that's it , guys .
