Movie-theater popcorn, beloved for its buttery goodness, is easy to replicate at home with our favorite air popper, the Presto PopLite. This easy-to-use machine can churn out up to 18 cups of popcorn in under three minutes. And unlike more labor-intensive, stovetop methods, it’s completely hands-free once you pour the kernels in. While popcorn from the PopLite occasionally turns out less crunchy compared with the results from stovetop methods, we’ve also found that this popper never burns kernels. The PopLite also allows you to customize your flavors and toppings so they’re exactly as you like them, which is something you can’t do with movie-theater popcorn.
