    Abstract: Devices for popping corn can include a pot, a lid assembly configured to mate with the pot, and an agitator assembly configured to be positioned within an interior volume of the pot, and to releasably engage the lid assembly when the lid assembly is mated with the pot. The agitator assembly can include at least one blade configured to cause un-popped kernels of corn within the pot to tumble as the agitator assembly is rotated within the pot, to help prevent sticking and burning of the kernels. The agitator assembly also can include at least one arm that transmits torque to the blade. The arm can be offset laterally from the axis of rotation of the agitator assembly.
