POPCO Microwave Popcorn Bowl - Silicone Snack Popcorn Popper with Handles - Collapsible Design, 2.3" Height When Folded -Dishwasher Safe Bowl for Healthy Treats - Red

I really enjoy my popcorn popper so far. I wanted to replace my chip addiction with something healthier and cheaper so I decided to eat popcorn when the cravings hit. But taking out a sauce pan and turning on the stove all the time is such a hassle. Then I searched and found this small gadget.It’s amazing how almost each of corns pop. They are really puffy and crunchy. I don’t put oil so there is minimal cleaning as well. Add a bit of salt and you are good to go. Just make sure folloe the instructions on the leaflet so you don’t put more than what’s recommended otherwise they won’t pop fully.I bought high quality organic kernels and I only had 2-3 unpopped one in each batch.Still it comes much more cheaper than a bag of high quality chips.Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fuss free healthy snack.

Haven't added butter straight to the bowl because I had read someone say it had caused problems. Luckily my child loves his popcorn with just a little salt so this is perfect. Really does a great job of cooking popcorn, cleans easy and once dry can be folded for easy storage, way easier to store than the electric popcorn maker I was thinking of getting!

It’s fabulous. So easy and the popcorn never burns

Well, I'm a Hoosier, which means that I was born and raised (and live) in Indiana. Popcorn is our official snack and we are connoisseurs of it, think Orville Redenbacher (fellow Hoosier)! I buy my colonels every fall from the apple orchard; one 1/2 gallon of white and one 1/2 gallon of yellow and mix them together when I get home. Growing up, my dad would fry bacon in a pot, remove it when crispy and then pop corn in the grease. He would then put the popcorn in bowls for us, each one sprinkled with crumbled up bacon goodness! But I digress...My kiddos and I do enjoy our popcorn and I'm always looking for simple ways to cook things and with healthier ingredients so this popper intrigued me when it came up on the 'daily deals' area. I thought I'd give it a shot. Read the instructions, pretty simple, added colonels to the lower fill line, did NOT add any oil (as per instructions), put the lid on as directed, and put it in my microwave. My microwave is an older over-the-range model without the rotating tray inside. I'm sure it is pumping out a little less than the 1,100 watts rating. It didn't take long for the colonels to start popping and I stayed there letting them continue until there were 2 or 3 seconds in between pops, and then pulled out the bowl. None were burnt, almost all the colonels popped and they tasted great! Popcorn takes on the flavor of the oil you cook it in and I usually use corn oil. With this popper they suggest using no oil, or very little. I have only tried it without any oil (the popped corn was a little bland), but I'm sure it will work just as well when I add a small amount of it. I like this popper and recommend it! It makes a little smaller batch than what I typically make in my large skillet, but it is quick and easy to just make another batch.

I find on the upside that it does store way easy takes out less room than it would if it was a solid bowl easy to use filling the kernel up to the line on the inside, downside, the kernels that you do put in, and you set it for the time it tells you to I am finding that it’s only popping half the amount of kernels now I’m not sure if it’s the colonel that I’m using which are Redenbacher or the way I’m storing them which I store them in the fridge which makes them last longer or it’s a bad batch who knows I’m still happy with it Haven’t tried oil or butter in the bottom of it. I usually do that afterwards, but I definitely buy another one in a snap.
