Popcorn is a great snack to have when watching movies or just relaxing. When people are dieting, it can be hard for them to choose what to eat and what to avoid. Un-buttered popcorn is considered to be light, easy to digest food. Un-buttered popcorn contains fewer calories and has enough fiber to make it an ideal diet snack. Hot air popcorn poppers are the best option for diet conscious people, as they require no oil or butter.

The real advantage that I find in using a hot air popcorn maker is that if I am going to be making some kind of flavored popcorn, there is no need to have the flavor of the oil anyway. The flavors that can be added to popcorn is endless. Most of us have had a cheese covered popcorn that is quite tasty. You can add just about any seasoning that you can imagine to popcorn. I oftentimes sprinkle it with Cajun seasoning. Or you can make a caramel corn too, that is more work than just sprinkling a seasoning on the popcorn, but it is quite worth the effort sometimes.

A hot air popcorn maker pops popcorn at about 400 degrees, and it is really a good idea to serve popcorn almost immediately after it is popped, before it gets soggy or stale. Of course no oil is used with a hot air popcorn popper. I advise you not to try to use oil in a hot air popcorn maker as it will burn and not pop the corn right.

Using a hot air popcorn maker is an economical and easy way to make popcorn, after all all that is needed is the hot air popcorn popper and bulk popcorn. Hot air popcorn is a healthy alternative to regular popcorn if you are on a diet or for some other reason are not wanting to eat food with added oil.

Don't be concerned if you have never used a hot air popcorn popper. They are easy to use and make a healthy and fun treat. A hot air popcorn popper comes with very good instructions and usually a 2 year warranty, so you can be rest assured that you will have many years of use.
