Today I want to share with you guys about how I made this gas popcorn. It was a wild ride, let me tell you.
So, first, I went on a hunt for a popcorn maker. I checked out a bunch of online stores – Jumia Egypt, *, you name it. I looked at all kinds of brands like Home and Media Tech. Their prices were all over the place, so I really had to dig to find the best deal. Some places had these MediaTech ones that claimed to make popcorn in 2 minutes without oil, which sounded pretty cool.
After comparing prices and reading a ton of reviews, I decided to go to Best Buy. I wanted to see these machines in person. They had a whole section of them! Different sizes, different features, it was a bit overwhelming. I also swung by BQ because why not, they had some good reviews too. In the end I got a commercial-grade gas popcorn machine because I wanted to try something new and different, although there were a ton of options on AliExpress, I still wanted to have something solid and real.
Once I had my new toy, a beast of a machine, 55x42x71 cm and weighing 20kg, I needed to learn how to use it. I found some instructions online, but honestly, it was a lot of trial and error. I messed up a few batches at first – burned popcorn, undercooked popcorn, you name it.
Finally, I started to get the hang of it. I learned the right amount of kernels to use, the perfect gas setting, and how long to cook it for. It took some patience, but man, the results were worth it.
Now, I can make a huge batch of popcorn in just a few minutes. It’s way better than the microwave stuff, let me tell you. And it’s perfect for movie nights or parties. Plus, I feel like a popcorn pro now, hah!
Here’s a quick rundown of what I did:
- Searched for popcorn makers online on Jumia Egypt, *, AliExpress.
- Checked out different brands like Home and Media Tech.
- Visited Best Buy and BQ to see machines in person.
- Bought a commercial-grade gas popcorn machine.
- Figured out how to use it through trial and error.
- Perfected my popcorn-making skills.
In Conclusion
It was a bit of a journey, but I’m so glad I went through it. Now I have a fantastic popcorn machine and the skills to make awesome popcorn. If you’re thinking about getting a popcorn maker, I say go for it! Just be prepared for a little bit of a learning curve, especially with the gas ones.
