Is this plastic or glass? Dishwasher safe? How long does it take to pop maybe a quart of popcorn? Does it work on the small popcorn?

Plastic. It worked well but just fell apart after 3-4 uses. Would never buy it again.

This popper is plastic, dishwasher safe, and takes just a couple of minutes to pop a quart of popcorn. I have not used the small popcorn, however I am certain it would work just fine. It is beautiful and makes really great popcorn. The only drawback is it doesn't last long. I have purchased 3 of these poppers and they usually only last about a year before a tiny plastic piece breaks...

Plastic-DW-yes but don't crowd. A 3oz scoop takes about 6 mins. Not worth the $$$. I've had 3 ( one was a replacement ) . The clips they use to hold the pieces together are plastic and DO NOT hold up. The 3rd one broke after about its third time out of the box.

hi Lindsey, although I have a few Cuisinart kitchen appliances, I DO NOT recommend this one. It has two side latches that break pretty easy. Got the first one replaced after it broke after two uses and it happened again. Called Cuisinart and they were supposed to mail the parts about six months ago- never did. I would try another popcorn maker.

It's plastic and I would think dishwasher safe, but I always hand wash. Yes it workson white kernels, Popping is a bit slow,unlike an air popper.

a piece of it already broke off and I have been using the stove and a big pan and it is probably better. I did call for a new piece and still have not received it. then they want me to send the broken piece back to them. So I kinda wish i had saved my 50 dollars and will just use the stove or go back to wave popcorn. Teresa

Plastic. I had one I ruined by putting the heating part in dishwasher.I popped all siizes of kernels. Pops until lid/bowl is full.The second one I bought did not work. Got stuck with 50 dollar piece of junk.

Works fine on a glass top stove (which is what I have). The instructions included with the pot say just don't shake or move around the pot while cooking (for any stove kind, not just glass), and also not to preheat the burner before cooking like another person suggested. You're supposed to start with a cold burner, put the oil/popcorn seeds in, put the pot on the burner/turn burner on, and slowly turn the handle from start to finish. Takes about 2-3 minutes, is fun, and super easy to wipe clean after the pot cools.

Yes, on popcorn setting. Unfortunately it takes about an hour. After repeated usage for this purpose, it melts the plastic arbor enough for it to separate from the metal for the stir arm, rendering it useless.

I put a large wooden spoon underneath the front of the popper, leaning it slightly backwards. Anything to prop the front up would work. The wooden spoon just seems to be the right height needed to still allow the popped popcorn to build up and flow out. I remove the spoon once the popped popcorn starts to flow. At the end there's a few unpopped kernels that fly if I don't turn off the machine, hold the bowl up blocking the opening or putting the spoon underneath the backside. I prefer to just turn it off.

I have used other electric popper and never liked the results, the popcorn pops quickly and evenly without using much oil & it is easy to clean, I just throw it all in the dishwasher.

Yes it is dish washer safe. No it does not need oil, but this popper only makes a cup of popcorn and you can burn the popcorn if you are not watch it.

I have no idea. It is plastic and should be safe but why do you want to put it in a dishwasher anyway?

My popcorn maker has been used only once for our Halloween party. I was not the one popping the popcorn and was not present during popping. However, I was the one who cleaned the machine and was amazed at the amount of unpopped kernels. The next time it is used, I will do it and see if the same thing happens. We use the 8 oz. size.

Yes, it's fairly easy to clean. The bucket unplugs, and comes out for easy cleaning. The rest is just cleaning the glass mostly, which hasn't gotten real dirty on my machine at least. Not too bad, no worse than cleaning a few small windows. Makes great popcorn, and worth it to me. Hope this helps.

the dish rotates fine and makes great popcorn, do not trust the popcorn button and set the timer for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds instead

I never popped two "loads" in a row, but I don't see why you couldn't do a second load once the first load was emptied from the plastic container and immediately popped once new oil and un-popped popcorn were added. You do have to let the rotating heater (attached to the base in use) coll for 20 (or maybe 30 ) minutes to let it cool before putting it in dishwasher as it stays hot for awhile.

No shaking, just follow the directions it comes with. One thing though, it you are making multiple batches, after the second time, give popper a few minutes to cool down, or popcorn cooks too fast and may burn some or have kernels that don't pop...

Honestly, we've only tried Shop Rite brand popcorn in ours....It works just fine with our popper and is relatively inexpensive...We bought another one for a family member as a Christmas gift and the love theirs as well using Orville Redenbacher popping corn. The key is to not overload the unit...we use about 1/4 cup at a time and you have to adjust the cooking time for your microwave...enjoy if you decide to purchase one.

I just used mine for the first time and got a full bowl of perfectly popped corn in 3 minutes. I used Walmart's GV popcorn with 2 Tbsp of Canola oil.

Mine are plastic. They are holding up just fine though. Great popper. Have not purchased microwave popcorn since. I use coconut oil or bacon grease for my popcorn.

Its a very sturdy plastic, dishwasher safe, I bought extras and gave them as presents also. They save your microwave from splatter
