I've tried (I use the coffee popper), and it's very satisfying, but also I'm pretty bad at it. I'm pretty sure I can't get the heat to evenly distribute right - I ended up with some beans way scorched. Still, fun.
- ereyes01 9y agoThese were my early experiences as well using a butane stove. The induction range I use gives me fine control over the heat level. That, plus proper preheating and technique at the beginning of roasting ensures you don't scorch the beans, but roast them uniformly. There's lots of videos on Youtube, and you get the hang of it after a little practice.
- lostlogin 9y agoThat must make one hell of a mess in the kitchen. I got an outdoor power point put in pretty much for this reason - then my mess with the heat gun and colander can be blown all over the porch and though our shoes and bike helmets instead.
- ereyes01 9y agoHehe my wife would disown me if I ever tried to do this in the kitchen :) I stick to the back porch.
- notdang 9y agoGoogle for "Turbo Crazy". Easy to build, roasts a LOT more uniform than the popper, can roast up to 0.5lb batches.
