Sci Fi-Themed Popcorn Machines

The Death Star Popcorn Maker Honors the Sci-Fi Franchise

— May 7, 2024 — Lifestyle
Uncanny Brands introduces a look at the dynamic Death Star Popcorn Maker. It boasts an intergalactic theme that is made to look like Darth Vader's headquarters. The machine only needs a drop of oil or butter with kernels to pop out the snack. It uses hot air that heats the corn kernels quickly and makes them pop.

The air then pushes the popped snack out of the heat chamber that cooks it without getting burnt. It comes in two parts -- the base foundation where corn is popped using only heated air. Once it is cooked, it rises to the top and it collected in a cloche with a clear design and dispensed in the upper half of the Death Star, which also functions as a bowl.
