When you’re planning a movie night or need a quick, hot snack, few things hit the spot like freshly popped popcorn. And if you’re over the microwave bags but don’t want to do the whole over-the-stove rigmarole, we found a retro-inspired, compact maker from Dash that users say makes better popcorn than the movie theater. Its one-button interface is super easy to use, it doesn’t use oil and the vintage-looking aqua shade is just $20. The only catch is once you start using it, you won’t settle for any other popcorn. It’ll deliver “crispy, fluffy and delicious” popcorn every time. Single. Time.
So many people tried this alternative way to make popcorn and now consider it superior to the other methods.
Running exclusively with hot air, the Dash maker nixes the need for oil while popping. Reviewers say the result is “perfect every time,” never overly crispy or burnt tasting and leaving “very few unpopped kernels left in the bowl.” The consensus is in: this thing is a major upgrade over other methods.
“If you make popcorn at home, you need this popcorn maker! This machine gave me a much better, fluffier pop than the popcorn I make on the stove,” one happy buyer said. “It was fast and I didn’t have to stand there shaking the pot over the heat. No more burning your fingers on hot steam as you pour it into the bay or bowl either. As a plus it doesn’t require oil so it’s healthier too. I will never go back.”
The corn is a great snack on its own, though happy eaters report adding coconut oil and salt, nutritional yeast, cheese, drizzled chocolate, nuts, sprinkles and more. You even get a booklet of recipes to inspire you further.
The convenience is unbeatable, especially for $20!
Don’t be fooled by the compact size; this maker can pop up to 16 cups of corn at once. It looks great on your counter (some say it’s cute enough to be out all the time), with non-slip feet to ensure stability as it pops. You can grab it in a bunch of great colors for a little more money, including this adorable “Peanuts” X Dash Charlie Brown-themed one.
People love how it pops the corn directly into your bowl, meaning no stray kernels around your space, and it is easy to clean — “just wipe it off after using,” one wrote. It’s also “surprisingly quiet,” making it more desirable than people’s previous poppers.
Along with the machine, you get a measuring cup that doubles as a tray for melting butter while the popcorn is popping. This takes the guesswork out of measuring and means less cleanup for you. Users call this a “clever and convenient” feature that makes the experience fun, functional and delicious.
Shoppers can’t stop raving about how much they love this compact maker. Read more 5-star reviews and grab one for your home to upgrade your movie nights all winter and beyond.
“We just made our first batch in this, and was it GOOOOOOD! We popped a half scoop, which made a very generous amount for a late afternoon snack. It took only a few minutes (just as fast as a microwave) and it was so light and fluffy. Some butter and salt, and it was better than movie theater popcorn. (We used Jolly Time kernels, nothing fancy or gourmet.) If you like fresh popcorn, you’ll love this!” — Jeffrey Blaisdell
“Better Than Movie Theater Popcorn! Fresh Yellow Or White Popcorn With Extra Real Butter, With A Pinch Of Salt. You’ll Never Buy The Bagged Popcorn EVER AGAIN! So Good, My Girlfriend Bought A Machine As Well!” — Dana M. DiGello
“This popcorn maker is an absolute blast — literally. It pops kernels fast, evenly, and without a drop of oil, which means guilt-free snacking at its finest. The measuring cup on top doubles as a butter melter, making it super easy to get that perfect movie night flavor. It is lightweight, easy to clean, and small enough to tuck away in a cabinet, though honestly, it is cute enough to leave on the counter. Every batch comes out fluffy and delicious, and cleanup takes seconds. It is poppin’, it is perfect, and it has totally replaced my microwave popcorn days.” — David Irving
“This teal popcorn maker is a total vibe! The color adds a fun retro touch to my kitchen, and it works like a charm. It pops every kernel quickly without any oil, making it perfect for an healthy snack and clean-up is a breeze. Plus, it’s surprisingly quiet. It’s become a go-to for movie nights and a cute conversation piece when guests come over. I already ordered two more as gift for my friends. Definitely worth every penny!” — Zory

A food scale that makes measuring portion sizes easy
There are so many reasons why a food scale can come in handy. One, it makes sure your measurements are exact — cooking is a science, after all, and precision matters. It also converts measurements for you, which is helpful if you’re following a recipe from a blogger or chef who lives outside of the U.S. It also means there are no measuring cups to wash when you’re done cooking. This one is a favorite for many because it’s small; it doesn’t take up too much kitchen counter space. The LCD screen is backlit so it’s easy to read, even if you aren’t standing right in front of it.
Promising Amazon review: “I cannot say enough good about this scale. I purchased it for baking and feeding my sourdough starter. I have been using it for about a month now. It is simple and straightforward. You can toggle between grams, kilograms and ounces with the simple touch of a button and I love the tare feature for weighing new items you add to the weight of your mixture. I’ve recommended this scale to so many friends and will continue to do so. Such a great little scale at an affordable price.” — Amazon customer

A meat thermometer to ensure you don’t give yourself food poisoning (20% off)
Guessing if your meat is cooked enough is a game you definitely don’t want to play. Having a food thermometer on hand is the best safety tool you can keep in the kitchen. More than 69,000 Amazon customers have purchased this one for less than $13, with the vast majority giving it a perfect five-star rating. According to our price trackers, this option is 20% off.
Promising Amazon review: “I had an old candy thermometer that I used to use that was my wife’s. It was bulky and took a long time to get up to temp. This thing gets up to temp immediately telling you what temperature your meat is at. The probe can be opened to various angles so it’s very ergonomic and comfortable to use. It’s also long so you don’t have to stick your hand right down by the fire. Also, something super simple, but very convenient is that it gives you the meat temperatures you need right on the unit itself so you don’t have to keep consulting your phone to see what temp you should be cooking your porkchop to. Great purchase at a cheap price for something that works extremely well. The numbers light up for easy reading also.” — Norb C

An olive oil sprayer for grilling, roasting, baking and salad-making
Having an olive oil sprayer makes it easy to cook with while also ensuring you don’t overdo it, cooking with too much oil. You can use this baby to spray your grill, a sheet tray full of veggies, skillet or on top of a salad before you dig in. It reduces the spills and splatters that often happen in the kitchen, cutting down on cleanup time.
Promising Amazon review: “I’ve been using this for four months. I bought it when I got a new air fryer. This sprayer did not disappoint. I previously have purchased two oil misters that would clog and not work at all even though they were well-known brands. This sprayer still delivers a fine spray and I’m much happier with it than with previous misters. It is not a fine mist, but still a fine enough spray that I am not using too much oil in my cooking. I’m convinced that the fine mist sprayers just cannot be long-lasting because the oil ends up gunking up the nozzle eventually. I appreciate that this is also easy to disassemble and clean. I use vegetable oil but am about to buy another for olive oil now that I know how well it works.” — Wendallyn

Savoring a latte or cappuccino is a microjoy you deserve to experience every day. Romanticize your life by making a frothy coffee drink at home to sip on while you work, curl up on the couch or while you watch your kids. This frother has a powerful-yet-quiet motor and comfortable grip.
Promising Amazon review: “This small device was a game-changer for me! I initially bought it to mix my powder supplements, which it did a pretty decent job. I first used it to froth my milk for my morning coffee and I was blown away by how that little change made my coffee taste way better! I initially had a slight issue with the product and a representative from the company reached out to me and made sure I was extremely happy with the product I received! They went above and beyond my expectations! Most companies these days sell you the product and could care less about you after. Not this company! That’s a rare thing to find these days! Without a doubt I would recommend this product to anyone that is in need of it. So refreshing to have a company like this around, others should learn from them! A++ customer service! I will check out other products from them in the future!” — Daniel

Air fryer paper liners that eliminates cleanup
Promising Amazon review: “These work great out of the box. I have put the food directly in them and there is no drainage/spillage. If I want the food to drain, I place this liner underneath the wire rack and put the food on the rack. It works great. If you do not have a wire rack, you can poke holes in the liner. This lets grease drip to the bottom and allows some to stay on the food and limits the cleanup to grease in the bottom without having bits that need to be scrubbed off.” — Lara
