Dash Popcorn

We promote a lot of paleo and keto food here at WHW, but it's really hard to keep this one a secret.

We snack a lot. 

We snack the good snacks, and the below-good snacks.

Grains, starch and sugar are all the ones we try to avoid, but there is one snack that we can't stop having.

POPCORN.

It's a grain! But we make ours dripped in butter and salt, because that's really why popcorn even matters. 

It's an easy and cost effective snack to have. We want to share one of our favorite appliances in the house. It's our popcorn maker. 

We have gone through two other popcorn makers but our current is our best and hopefully last one. Our first popcorn maker was a gift. It lasted for years, but it was so cheap that it melted. Yes, it melted! I can't remember the brand if it even had one.

The second one stopped working. This was a cheap popper by Dash that I snagged at a Christmas sale. For $10, it lasted a couple of years and then it just stopped turning on. But I didn't like that the appliance itself wasn't heavy enough that it moved as it popped. I had to always stand in front to hold it down. And while I was holding it down, I had to use a shield of sort from getting attacked by hot kernels. To top it off, I had to wait a long time for the butter to melt, even long after all the kernels have been popped.

It took me a while to decide on getting another one, but I was really missing popcorn. Off I went and found another Dash popper, but it was expensive at $40. I looked at every single popper on that shelf and wanted to go with a cheaper one, but I kept coming back to this. The butter drips as the kernels popped, and it was everything opposite of the cheap popper. I didn't have to stand there holding it down and shielding myself. When it was done popping, all I had to do was flip it, and I had an instant bowl of popcorn!

Here it is in action!

You can have one too! We absolutely endorse this popcorn maker!
