Hand Popcorn Maker 260ml Retro Nostalgic Mini Popcorn Maker Small 304 Stainless Steel Pellet Amplifier Old Fashioned Home Mini Popcorn Popper

OK, so this is a lot of fun to use, and I still use it. 100% honesty, it's not going to entirely replace your normal way of making popcorn, because the normal ways are about a billion times faster, but there's something really neat about this product that makes it fun to use sometimes. The resulting popcorn is... well, it's just got a different texture, so you'll just have to try it to see what I mean.The instructions included are all in a different language (Chinese or Japanese or something). Useless. They include QR links, but if I remember correctly those were also useless. I had to do some searching on how to correctly use this device, but finally found a video on the internet that showed step by step how to use it (lol although the translations were so bad that some of them included surprising phrases). So, just be prepared to do a little research on your own before actually being able to use this.You'll also need to buy your own heat - while the kit does include a burner can with wicks, it includes no fuel. You'll have to find that yourself. You can buy recommended fuel, or you can even just use some Sterno from Walmart, found in the Sports/Camping section.Once properly set up, it takes a good long while for it to build up pressure - and this is why I say it probably won't entirely replace your normal method of making popcorn. It really does take a decent amount of time to get up to the proper pressure.Then, finally, once ready, it's just like you've seen in the videos - you put the popper in the bag, attach the lever, pull it, and BANG - all the popcorn pops at literally the same time and shoots into the bag. VERY entertaining.So yeah, it's a fun, alternate way to do it, and I didn't do it one time and then just toss it in the trash. it's fun to use. I would recommend it as a neat novelty if you're into popcorn.

It does not come with instructions and I’ve been scouring the Internet to try and find instructions, but nobody has detailed steps! Quick videos are shown to wow you with the effects, but I can’t seem to get it to work!

This is the way popcorn is made all over Asia as street food. It works great! Don’t be afraid and don’t be dumb! This kit is well made, heavy duty. I DO NOT USE THE HEATER THATBIS SUPPLIED. I just use stereo green ethanol camp fuel. Open the lid and light it. Put the lid back on to kill it. Can buy 3 cans at local Bi-Mary or hardware store for cheap.For the popcorn maker I use 1/2 teaspoon (you don’t need any) Orville Redenbachers popping topping oil. Fill device half full with Orville Red popcorn and add the 1/2 teaspoon oil.Heat until pressure gauge hits 9. Takes about 3-5 minutes for gauge to start to rise but goes quickly after that. Pay attention. Rotate slow and then fast. Periodically.When it hits 9 remove it, put it in the bag. SEAL the bag and pop the lid open. BANG! Instant popcorn cooked to perfection. Salt and butter to taste. The crunchy leftovers will be the best you ever had. This method is supported to microwave popcorn in almost every way. It takes a little more time to heat up and you have to let it cool down. It tastes better! It’s fun to make and the crunchie small bits are few but amazing.Im American but I’m actually shocked at how afraid Americans are to try something that is probably the most used popcorn making method in the world. I don’t even wear the supplied gloves because the parts you touch don’t get hot and the bang is in the bag.MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WORKS BEFORE YOU TRY IT! If you can’t/don’t understand how this works it’s probably best you just avoid it and enjoy your microwave popcorn.

Cooker itself is great! However, no matter what fuel you use it will soot up your machine making a dreadful mess. (They are editing those videos, I believe.) All yellow flames smoke. I use my (blue flame) gas range- (cover the lid gasket area with tinfoil and keep the flame off the roller bearings). Using a blue flame torch will work. Also a hot air paint stripper gun or a good hot blow dryer. (If you soot up your machine using their burner, you will need laquer thinner to clean up the mess.)

I have search the Internet and I cannot find instructions in English. I cannot figure out what kind of fuel to use in the heater.I used kerosene lamp oil for the heater and they got black soot all over the popcorn machine
