Binge Watching Guide

Lately we’ve been doing more binge watching than ever before! Staying home has given us the perfect excuse to move through our “to watch” list and finally make use of all our streaming services. We love using Decider’s online What to Watch tool to help us pick out new shows and movies to stream. You can search genre, platform or mood. Watching new movies from the comfort of our own home is amazing, but there is one thing we miss most about the movie theater experience. Popcorn! So, we set out on a mission to find out how to capture that buttery goodness at home. Bustle’s 6 Best Popcorn Poppers article led us to finding our new favorite kitchen gadget, the Presto PopLite Hot Air Popper. This compact electric popper pops kernels faster than a microwave AND has a built-in butter melter. The popper was very easy to use, and our popcorn turned out delicious! We’re never going back to microwave bag popcorn. Another thing we learned, the Cachepots from our Salerno and Verona lines make the perfect popcorn buckets!
