Stir Crazy Corn Popper Instructions

The Stir Crazy Corn Popper is a popcorn maker manufactured by West Bend. It comes in a 6- and 8-quart model with a butter-melting well and a top that doubles as a popcorn bowl. The Stir Crazy Corn Popper makes popcorn using only a small amount of oil which keeps the popcorn tasting fresh and light. The butter-melting well makes it easy to season the popcorn.

Step 1

Wash the popcorn popper top and plastic cover in warm soapy water before using the Stir Crazy Corn Popper for the first time.

Step 2

Remove the rod from the center base by unscrewing the center knob counter-clockwise. Wipe the rod and non-stick base with a soapy cloth and then with a damp cloth. Dry off the rod and base.

Step 3

Put the rod back into the center base, lining it up with the appropriate groove in the base. Screw on the center knob clockwise.

Step 1

For 2 quarts of popcorn, add 1 tbsp. of oil and 1/3 cup of corn to the popper base. Spread the oil and corn evenly in the base. Add 1 tbsp. of butter to the butter-melting well. Double, triple or quadruple the amount of corn to be popped by increasing the ingredients by the appropriate measures, accordingly.

Step 2

Put the cover on the popper base, matching its handles to the popper base handles.

Step 3

Plug in the Stir Crazy corn popper cord into its base and a wall outlet. The stirring rod will rotate and pop the corn as long as the popper is plugged in. It should take about 4 to 6 minutes to pop all of the corn, depending on the amount being popped.

Step 4

Unplug the Stir Crazy popper from the wall outlet when the popcorn is finished popping. Unplug the cord from the hot base of the popper using a pot holder.

Step 5

Put the plastic cap on the butter-melting well and flip the popper over by the handles. The popcorn will fall into the top which can then be used as a bowl. Pull the base away from the top and add salt to the popcorn, if desired.
