Default Hot Air Popcorn Poppers

Has anybody ever come up with something *useful and food-related* to do
with them besides make dry popcorn?

Useful, yes, but not really food-related, unless you count rats as
consumers.

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 got my Wearever Popcorn Pumper in 1966 with Plaid Stamps. 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?

There are (at least) two styles. 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.

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.

Precisely. I roasted beans fer yrs ina series of West Bend Poppery II
hot-air poppers. I even sold a NIB WBPII on ebay. Try and find one
in a thrift shop, today. Here's why:

http://legacy.sweetmarias.com/airpop/airpopdesign.php

Apparently, this latest West Bend air-popper will do the job.
SweetMaria's even sells 'em, so they must work:

Hey! I eat a lotta popcorn, anymore. I may look into an air-popper.
Better for you than those nuked popcorn roadkill bags.

America should be manufacturing mostly durable goods because that's what we're good at. 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.

Wish it was that simple. My dishwasher was made in the US, but our new
refrigerator was made in Korea. 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.

Yet any time you BUY cheap Chinese JUNK, you are contributing to the demise of the U.S.!! See?

You criminally STALK and ABUSE women, you sick little dwarfy man!

Here's what you did when you went all over the Usenet impersonating the
well-liked regular named "sf" and posting all her personal data on the
net against her will, including her:

* home address
* age
* cell phone number
* husband's name

etc.

YOU did that, you evil *******!

And then you had the hubris to actually GLOAT about in public saying:

She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so
a conviction should be a piece of cake and then forging would stop.
So what's stopping her? I think she suffers from Bovism - she just
loves the attention and drama and screw the rest of the group.

-sw

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And before that you literally stalked poor Omelet, a local Auustin
favorite, right off the Usenet!

In your worst moment ever you actually begged her to KILL you:

Then after having your nose rubbed in your filthy criminal stalking you
came back with, not an apology, nor the slightest remorse, just this:


"The facebook group is much more pleasant."


But we all know that's only because you cower over there in mortal fear
of being booted by the FB admins.

You're _so done_ here virus, I mean really ****ing done.

I'm making you a project like no other, expect a lot more of your evil
abuse and hatred to be aired for all to see here.

And we both know there's a google archive full of your hatred of women
just waiting to be hung out on the virtual clothesline to dry.

Enjoy then, you rotten, worthless misogynistic *******!
