Abstract
A hot air corn popper comprises a body having a lower body portion closed by a removable cover. A hollow stainless steel popping vessel is removably held in the lower body portion and has a bottom end closed by a perforated grill. A gravity flow feed hopper formed in the lower body portion provides an automatic flow of unpopped kernels into the popping vessel where they are contained on top of the grill. An upwardly directed hot air flow produced in the lower body portion is directed through the popping vessel. The air flow pops the unpopped kernels and carries the popped kernels out of the popping vessel and the body to a storage receptacle.
