We bought Pop Corn Severin to replace the pan as before j`utilisais, the pan being aluminum. We see two problems: 1 - the but that are not yet broken out of the machine are expelled together with the exploding but I think nearly d`un third, which is really a hassle, since the portion of popcorn that `can be at once It`s not sufisante for 4 personnes.Devoir sort and re-introduce them but takes time too. And 2- al`absence of l`huile, salt does not stick ... we need more salt than d`habitude, which is in the end over the bowl. So the taste It`s not the same .. The old fashion way is still the best solution for a good popcorn and I think j`acheterai another pot that to make popcorn the weekend. : O (
