I've never written an Amazon review, but this here Popcornloop has moved me!! I love popcorn! Airpopped results in a texture too reminiscent of styrofoam packing peanuts and I don't own a microwave so stovetop is my favored method. I use a cast iron pot + lid and sometimes I get it right, but other times I end up with a whole lot of charred bits and unpopped kernels. Shaking the pan + lifting the lid just enough to let steam escape but not too much to prevent airborne kernel bullets is a chore!!!!! I considered an all in one popcorn pot, but wasn't interested in aluminum. And then I saw the Popcornloop. I was hesitant as I had never heard of it and it didn't have any reviews. The idea is genius though. All the steam is able to be released through the fabric and you can just stand and stir. I've used it twice now and ended up with nearly every last kernel being popped to the fluffiest perfection. Trust the directions! I didn't the first time and tried wrestling the lid on AFTER heating the oil beacuse I was afraid the kernels would burn while heating up with the oil. It still came out pretty close to perfect, but the second time around, I followed the directions and got the desired results without stupidly wrestling a hot pot. Also, I am typing this with one hand while I maniacally cram my flawless beloved popcorn into my mouth with the other. IT'S SO GOOOOOOOD!!!
