Summary: Absolutely Perfect - Just don't heat at too high a temperature
Comment: I bought Fireworks Wisconsin white birch popcorn 64oz seeking the perfect popcorn for my Whirleypop popper, but I wrecked the batches simply by cooking them too hot. Now I've discovered on my own how to do it RIGHT.
If you want perfect popcorn, here's my secret:
- Add 2-3 ounces of oil in popper + 3 kernels;
- On electric stove (yeah, I know) set burner between 8 and 9 on scale of 1 to 10. (If you set it for 10, you'll have small, lousy, and even unpopped results. Who knew!)
- When the 3 kernels pop, add 1/3 cup of kernels (any more than this and they'll spill over)
- Meanwhile, melt 1/4 to 1/3 of ONE cube of butter in microwave for 35 seconds.
- When popped, (turn the whirley handle to prevent popped corn from overheating / or shake your pot (the one on the stove) if you lack this popper) and pour into your favorite bowl, (don't put butter into your popcorn cooker) drizzling butter and sprinkling a smidgen of salt.
The very best you've ever had . . . true? Let people know!
P.S. I'm just a happy customer. I don't sell popcorn. (But now I eat too much of it.)

Summary: Like unpopped kernels? Then this is for you.
Comment: After reading a web review that I thought came from the Washington Post (but can no longer find), I was disappointed to find that this popcorn did not behave as expected. There were many unpopped kernels, which suggested to me that it was not very fresh. Indeed, when opening the caps, the seals on many of the bottles were not firmly glued on. There was no sound of air rushing in as I opened them. The flavors indeed had promise, but I think that my old standby, Petite Princess Amber, still wins as the best popcorn notwithstanding the Washington Post review.
