Years ago, my little sister was moving from Los Angeles to New Orleans. Someone had convinced her that popcorn was an ideal packing material for delicate items. I sat up with her most of the night while she popped corn in a dry-air popper, and boxed up her stuff with it. Due to complications of the move, much of her stuff ended up in a warehouse in New Orleans, where it sat for several months. When she retrieved it, much of it had been chewed to bits, and crapped on within and without, by rats. So, I would not recommend this as a good use for a dry-air popper. |

I've been using it about once a week ever since and it still works perfectly and makes the best popcorn, better by far than any other method... pumps out the largest popcorn and never even one burnt one because as soon as each pops it's blown out into the bowl. Air popped is only dry if you want it dry... I drizzle it with freshly melted pure butter... none of that chem crap used in nuked corn that schtinks up your kitchen. Air popped also pops most every kernel and the 3-4 that don't pop don't end up with those that popped to break your crowns. I find my air popper extremely useful, it does exactly what it's inended to do and does it very well. Next idiotic question from 'isw' will be: Has anybody ever come up with something *useful and food-related* to do with my rectal thermometer besides stick it up my poop chute? |

Some have a screen where the corn kernels sit, others have slits around the sides where the corn sits. The ones without the screen make good coffee roasters. If it has a screen, the chaff from the coffee can be drawn back in the base and plug up the screen, burning up the popper. |

Most likely made in USA!! I never bothered to check before so I just now did, on the bottom metal plate it's embossed with Made in the USA by Wearever, Chilicothe, Ohio. But you need to remember it was made some sixty years ago, back then all China manufactured were bamboo chop sticks and hand hammered carbon steel woks... also back then there were still craftsmen in the US who knew how to make stuff, who weren't ascared to perspire, get dirty, and have calluses. If the US brought back the "Poor House" you'd see how fast people in the US would learn how to make stuff again rather than sit around doing nothing while waiting for all their freebies. |

Leave the cheap trinkets to the other guys because that's what they're good at doing. My new dishwasher was built in the US. I've been purchasing cheap parts from China for my Passat 1.8t. They're about a 75% cheaper than getting a part from the dealer. I ordered a switch from China for my daughter for her Passat. It's a good looking part but I was dismayed to see "Czech Republic" stamped on the housing. I guess it's more cost effective for the Chinese to buy the parts from Europe and charge $7 for the part. |

There are no US made fridges of the design we want that fit in a 34" opening. O US but 2 from Korea. Quality of China made stuff keeps getting better too. |
