What is Whirley Pop?

The Whirley Pop is a stovetop popcorn popper which is famous for being easy to use and efficient popping capabilities. It contains a pot with a handle and a crank attached to the lid. The pot is made of stainless steel or aluminium and has a special coating to prevent the popcorn from sticking.

To prepare Whirley Pop’s popcorn, add oil and popcorn kernels to the pot, then heat it on the stove. As the pot heats up, turn the crank handle that rotates the metal blades inside the pot. It ensures that the oil and heat are spread evenly, resulting in uniform popping.

Whirley Pop Recipe Tips

• Use the Right Oil: Make sure to go with the high smoke points like coconut oil, vegetable oil or canola oil. This oil provides a delicious flavour to the popcorn.

• Preheat the Whirley Pop: Before putting popcorn or oil in the Whirley Pop, allow it to warm up on the stove for 1-2 minutes. It ensures that everything is heated evenly and pops faster.

• Add the Right Amount of Oil: Use enough oil to coat the bottom of Whirley Pop’s pot. Adding too much oil can make the popcorn too greasy, and using too little oil may result in uneven popping.

• Choose high-quality popcorn kernels: Choose high-quality popcorn kernels for better texture and flavour. Avoid using stale or old kernels, as they may not pop well.

• Keep the heat Moderate: Use medium heat on your stove to ensure the popcorn doesn’t burn. Adjust the heat if required, to allow the popcorn to pop steadily without scorching the kernels.    

Variations

• Sweet and Salty Mix: You can mix the brown sugar melted butter and a little bit of salt with the popcorn for a salty and sweet mix.

• Garlic Parmesan Popcorn: Mix the popcorn with grated parmesan cheese, chopped garlic, melted butter and chopped fresh parsley for a savoury and aromatic treat.

• Chocolate Drizzle: You can pour the candy melts or melted chocolate chips over the popcorn. To make it taste better, add chopped nuts or a little sea salt on top.

• Caramel Corn: You can prepare homemade caramel sauce by melting butter and brown sugar in a pan, pouring the sauce over the popcorn and mixing well. Bake until the caramel sauce hardens for tasty corn.

• Buffalo Ranch Popcorn: You can toss the popcorn with hot sauce, melted butter and ranch seasoning for a zesty flavour combination similar to the buffalo wings.

What to Serve

• Movie Night Snack: You can serve your popcorn with other snacks like potato chips, pretzels, cheese and crackers, candy or chocolates.

• Cheese Platter: You can prepare a cheese platter with a different cheese like Gouda, cheddar, brie and blue cheese. You can also include cured meats like prosciutto or salami with nuts, grapes and crackers.

• Fresh Fruits: You can serve healthy fresh fruits like sliced apples, strawberries, pineapple and grapes to provide a healthy contrast to the popcorn.

• Dips and Salsas: You can serve a variety of dips and salsas as dipping for your popcorn like hummus, guacamole, salsa verde etc.

• Mini Sandwiches: You can serve mini sandwiches or sliders using a variety of ingredients like cheese, ham, turkey, cucumber, avocado and cream cheese.   

Storing and Freezing

Ensure that the popcorn is cooled completely before you store and freeze it.

Make sure to transfer the popcorn into an air-tight container like a glass or plastic jar fitted with a tight lid. Also, ensure that the container doesn’t contain too much air or oxygen because that can make the popcorn go stale quickly.

For freezing the popcorn, ensure that the container you are using for freezing is freezer-safe. Spread the popcorn in a single layer on a baking sheet and let it freeze for an hour. This stops the kernels from sticking together when you store them for the long run.

Once frozen, you can put the popcorn in the air-tight container and put it back in the freezer.

You can freeze the popcorn for several months.
