Product Description

From the Manufacturer

In 1988, Fireworks Popcorn Company was founded. The company’s focus on finding the highest quality popcorns with the best flavors and textures, quickly led it to become a renowned national gourmet popcorn and gift food company.

Today, headquartered in the community of Port Washington, Wisconsin, the inspirational beauty of Lake Michigan, creative leadership and the strong work ethic of our employees have led Fireworks Popcorn to a new level of success. Our gourmet popcorn shop now offers 12 varieties of corn, a new popcorn seasoning line, home and commercial popcorn poppers, an array of gourmet caramel corn varieties and a new microwave popper.

Nothing says home and family time like Fireworks® Popcorn products. It’s always fun to share the joy of popcorn with people. That is the reason Fireworks® Popcorn is dedicated to supplying the highest quality popcorn products to customers across the country and around the world.

Small farmers throughout the Midwest grow our popcorn exclusively for us to meet our exacting standards. No dyes are used to enhance the beautiful colors of our corn. It's all compliments of Mother Nature. Fireworks® Popcorn grows the same varieties of corn that our Grandparents enjoyed, tender and full of naturally good flavor. Because our corn is not genetically altered (contains no GMO's) or crossed with low grades of "field" corn they will pop smaller but have very tender hulls that shatter when popped. Fireworks® Popcorn is easier not only on dental work but also the digestive system. At 120 Calories for each 5 cup individual serving, Fireworks® Popcorn is loaded with 7 Grams of fiber making it the perfect all natural, healthy snack! Americans are becoming more and more health conscious when it comes to snacking and we are seeing the results.

Many of our customers remember the varieties we offer as being grown on their farms as children. The popcorn would be dried on the stalk in the field and harvested at just the right time when the moisture level makes the corn perfect for popping. The cobs then would be hung in an unheated attic space. Cobs would be taken down, two to three at a time, the corn twisted off and popped in a heavy kettle on the stovetop. Popcorn, the most common snack-food of yesteryear was made several times per week as the evening treat.

To top it all off we offer Fireworks® Popcorn Seasoning made from only the highest quality ingredients. Not composed of mostly salt to hide the true flavors and mask the taste of the popcorn as with most popcorn seasonings we pride ourselves in staying true offering only the best to our customers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bigger isn't always better - or - Goodby Mr. Hot Air popper, February 17, 2011

I own a West Bend 82306X Stir Crazy 6-Quart Electric Popcorn Popper. It does a good job but the results are a bit oily (the popcorn and what needs to be cleaned up afterward). I've been using a Presto 114316 04820 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper which turns out nice batches if you use the "spray with Misto M100S Gourmet Brushed Aluminum Olive Oil Sprayer" method as it comes out.

However, this popper, for me, beats them all. Once you get the timing right, for me it's 2:10, figure out you need to add the oil on top of the unpopped kernels and shake them around a bit, and remember to add the salt before popping, you wind up with perfect popcorn with almost no mess.

The Fireworks popcorn that comes with the bowl does pop smaller than some more commercial brands. However, it tastes great, has a nicer texture, ans was included with the bowl. Besides, I can always use the grocery store brands if I want to.

The one thing that surprised me was how quiet this is. It's not much louder than just the microwave so nobody gets woken up if I'm making some late at night.

One last thought about time to pop. The directions said keep going until you only hear one "pop" every second or two. I did that. It went for almost three minutes. The popcorn was burned... badly burned. My suggestion is to stop your first batch long before it gets to one-pop-per-second and work from there.

UPDATE: After a couple of months we still love this popper. After using up the Fireworks Popcorn that came with the bowl we switched to Pop Secret Jumbo Popping Corn, 30-Ounce Jars (Pack of 6). That, along with a tablespoon of corn oil produces outstanding results.

UPDATE 2: Found what I think is the best popcorn for this popper. Great Northern Popcorn, 4-Ounce Portion Packs (Pack of 24) tastes lots better than anything else I've tried. The only problem is the 4-ounce pack overflows the bowl and my next order, and there will be a next order, will be for the 2.5 oz packs. I realize this is a review for the popping bowl and gift set and I still think it worth mentioning how well this popcorn works in it.)

BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews can take the place of first-hand experiences that are lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've received from other reviewers and work hard to return the favor as best as I can. I hope you found this review helpful and if there was anything you thought was lacking or unclear leave a comment and I'll do what I can to fix it.

This gift box has been a great purchase. To make the popcorn in the microwave you just have to add 1/3 cup of popcorn to the bowl and 1 tablespoon of oil (which is optional). It popped up in about 3 minutes and tasted great. Both flavors of popcorn were great and my entire family enjoyed them.

We received this set as a gift and it was a great surprise! There is absolutely no reason to buy bags of microwave popcorn ever again. Popping up a bowl of popcorn is so easy with the included popping bowl. We usually use 1/3 cup of the kernels, about 1 tbsp of light olive oil, and then seasoning of choice. The included choices of popcorn are also great, very delicious. We've been enjoying a bowl of popcorn almost every night, it's so addictive! We'll definitely be ordering more popcorn when we run out.
