Why the Popsmith Is a Must Have Kitchen Gadget

Some people might find a stovetop popcorn popper like the Popsmith unnecessary, but if you love popcorn, having people over, or collecting cool kitchen gadgets, it’s a kitchen tool you’ll be proud to call yours! 

Let’s explore the many ways this stovetop popcorn maker makes a must have kitchen gadget:

Superior Materials 

The Popsmith Popper was built to last a lifetime. It’s crafted from premium stainless steel with a multi-clad metal bottom, giving it the following advantages:

• Durability: There’s a clear difference when you hold the Popsmith. The 18/8 stainless steel body feels solid and substantial — it’s the kind of kitchen tool you’ll pass down to your kids one day. 

• Even heat distribution: The multi-clad metal bottom ensures a consistent pop every time, preventing burnt and unpopped kernels. 

• Works on every stove: Got an induction cooktop? No worries! Unlike aluminum poppers, the Popsmith’s base is magnetic and fully induction compatible. Learn how to make stovetop popcorn on an induction stove here.

Thoughtful Desig

Over 2 years went into designing the Popsmith. We wanted to create the best popcorn popper on the market — one that even people who aren’t confident in the kitchen could use. Our goal was to make the stovetop popping process easy, fun, and rewarding with delicious results every time. 

And that dedication to thoughtful design shows in every feature:

• Innovative spinning mechanism: No need to shake the pot and give your arm a workout! Just turn the crank to keep the kernels moving. This spinning mechanism is modeled after the ones used in movie theaters. 

• Expertly engineered venting: The smiley-faced vent is big enough to let steam escape without sacrificing cook time. 

• Cool-touch handle: The handle stays cool throughout the popping process.

• Optimal heat management: While it doesn’t get hot as fast as aluminum (which can actually lead to burning), the Popsmith does heat up faster than plain stainless steel pots thanks to its multi-clad metal bottom. No hot spots to worry about, either! 

• Dishwasher safe: After popping, you can just load the Popper into the dishwasher and enjoy your snack without dreading the cleanup after. 

Countless Popcorn Variations

While our pre-measured Oh Sooo Buttery and Classic Kettle Popcorn kits allow for a convenient popping experience, the Popsmith makes experimenting easy if you love cooking up new flavor combinations. 

You can make your snack as healthy (or sinfully decadent) as you want. It’s completely up to you to choose what ingredients to use and how much — or little — to add.

Impressive Recognition

Since its launch, the Popsmith has garnered serious praise! It was one of House Beautiful’s picks for their 2023 Live Better Awards, named Best Splurge in Food & Wine’s list of best popcorn makers, and featured in Oprah’s Favorite Things 2024, to name just a few. 

The Popper also appeared on Good Morning America, the Tamron Hall Show, and Late Night with Seth Meyers. 

While these accomplishments speak volumes, we think the following reviews from actual customers do an even better job of convincing you why our stovetop popcorn popper is a must have kitchen gadget:
