But I became concerned by how easily I could "darken" a paper towel just by wiping out the inside of the aluminum cooker. Upon closer inspection I concluded such darkening came: not from the light oil - nor from the popcorn - but rather from the aluminum internal skin of the cooker, as it easily shed grey coloring onto the paper towel. (The cooker is not coated - rather, it's up to you to season it with oil.) "So, how much aluminum does one ingest with a single batch? This looks like a health risk" I said - and I stopped using it. Makes me p.o'd: why couldn't the manufacturer stamp out this elegant design using safer stainless steel, instead of soft aluminum?

I've given Whirley Pops as gifts several times since then. We have a serious popcorn addiction in our house! The popcorn tastes so much better than an air popper or microwave popcorn, and is just as fast (if not faster) to prepare. The Whirley Pop is lightweight, and easy to clean. I'm not a gadget kinda person, but I wouldn't be without my Whirley Pop! I received a Whirley Pop as a gift about 7 years ago, and instantly fell in love with it.
