A popcorn-making device comprises a bowl attached to a popping plate assembly and a base. The popping plate assembly can be used to hold and heat corn kernels so that they may be popped. A stirring rod rotates on the heat plate in order keep the kernels moving throughout the popping process. This enables the popcorn maker to require less oil, for a healthier alternative to microwave or other types of popcorn. The popping plate assembly can have a safety interlocking mechanism to enable a user to safely and easily remove and reattach the popping plate assembly to and from the base for washing purposes. The device can have a heater safety mechanism to automatically shut the heater when the popping plate assembly is disengaged from the base. At any time that the popping plate assembly is not properly engaged with the base, the heater will be shut off and the device will not operate.
