Microwave Popcorn Popper (3-qt.) by Nordic Ware

This is one the best, little known items ever! I previously owned an air popper machine that took up room and didn't do anything but pop corn. This container is WONDERFUL. You can microwave anything in it, not just popcorn. It cooks things evenly and the lid has air vents. It's also easy to take off when you remove it from the microwave and you don't burn your hands from the steam. It's great, I bought some as presents too!

I had become so dissatisfied with the microwave popcorns offered at the supermarkets. They were all so ladened with salt, bad fats, artificial flavors and ingredients you can't pronounced. I wanted to take control of what went into my favorite snack food, to make it healthier, and still have a great tasting product. This popper produces a great popped kernel, big and fluffy. To 1/3 cup kernels, I drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top with also a small pat of butter. As the butter melts, its flavor is dispersed through the oil and then throughout the popcorn. I eat it right out of the bowl. It's amazing to see how such a small amount of kernels pops up to such a large amount of popcorn. Then you realize how much money was wasted on substandard packaged microwave popcorn. I highly recommend this product.

This works great. I am happy with it. All you do is put 1/2 cup of popcorn into it, no oil, put the lid on and stick it in the microwave for 3-5 mins......and voila! Done perfectly. EASY, no fat......cleanup is not even needed--I'm not kidding!

I was so excited to find this popper. Thought it would keep me on my points for my diet program. I have tried it 4 times. Twice without oil , once with oil in my microwave and then once in my neighbor's microwave thinking maybe it had to do with my machine... and it burned before being half popped all 4 times. I would never recommend this. sorry. I wish I had kept the packaging etc for a return. But I did not. so it will go into the next rummage sale.

This is great popper -- I had one and bought another one to have at our weekend home. My favorite use is to make homemade "Poppycock". I give it to friends and family as special holiday treats and they ask for it every year.
