A fun addition to a kids birthday party scary-movie night with friends and other social gatherings this traditional hot-oil popcorn maker produces theater-style popcorn from the comfort of home. Use it to pop up to 8 cups of hot delicious popcorn at a time. The Sunbeam unit features a double-hung stainless-steel pivoting kettle with a hinged lid and a motorized stirring mechanism - which means less oil required more thoroughly coated kernels and less un-popped kernels at the end of the cycle. Reminiscent of old-fashioned theatre-style popcorn makers but in a size that can fit on a countertop or table the appliance also provides a simple onoff switch with an indicator light see-through side panels for safe viewing and a slide-out popcorn drawer for easily scooping popcorn into a serving bowl or individual bags not included. Enjoy the popcorn plain or with salt and melted butter - or get creative by sprinkling it with brewers yeast parmesan cheese or Italian seasoning. A measuring cup comes included.
