The Cuisinart Classic Style Popcorn Maker brings movie theater fun to your home, creating up to 10 cups of hot, fluffy popcorn in just minutes. Model PCM-56PC features a 500-watt heating element that requires no advance heat-up time, allowing you to start popping immediately. The mechanized stirrer automatically moves kernels during popping to ensure even cooking and maximum popped corn while minimizing unpopped kernels.

This classic-style popper holds 4 ounces of kernels and uses 2 tablespoons of oil per batch. The nonstick kettle and removable door make cleanup fast and easy, while the tilt-out door design allows for convenient serving. A kernel catcher and screen at the bottom help separate unpopped kernels from finished popcorn. The unit is constructed with BPA-free materials and includes three accessories: a popcorn scoop, a 1/4-cup kernel measuring cup, and a 1-tablespoon oil measuring spoon.

Popping begins in approximately 3 minutes after turning on the unit. The kettle features a release tab that allows you to dump remaining popcorn into the housing once popping is complete. For maintenance, the housing can be wiped with a damp cloth, and burnt oil can be removed by boiling 4 to 6 ounces of water in the kettle for 1 to 2 minutes. No parts are dishwasher safe, and the kettle should never be immersed in water. The appliance operates on standard 120V outlets and comes with a limited three-year warranty.
