Silicone Microwave Popcorn Popper with Lid for Home Microwave Popcorn Makers with Handles Collapsible Popcorn Bowl

I love these things. They're easy to use, quick to clean, and fold down for easy storage. I love popcorn, and I've made microwave, stovetop with oil, stovetop foil poppers, air poppers, oil poppers, and these silicone poppers. These are far and away my favorite way to pop popcorn. You can add whatever butters and oils you want after the fact, but, you're getting a light, airy, crispy popcorn in a matter of a couple minutes in the microwave. I've bought several, and given many as gifts to other popcorn fans.

Using a 1/4 cup, it’s plenty for a one person snack if you’re hungry. You can add your butter or oil and salt, etc. before you pop it. I nuked it for 2-1/2 minutes on high and it came out perfectly, every kernel popped! A good deal for the money! I had a presto hot air popper and this is so much easier to use and the lid keeps the popcorn in. Just be careful taking it out if the microwave, it’s hot.

This popcorn poper is everything it says it is! Amazing . I popped a 1/4 cup orville redenbacher Just kernels into my clean silicone Popcorn popper, set the lid on it placed it in my cuisine art microwave and hit the 3 for 3 min, I heated up and started popping and I stoped it at 15 sec left because the piping hesitated. So it took 2:45 sec to piping could have let it go but not really knowing I played it safe. It turned out perfectly popped I think I will try it with touch of butter next time I have never used butter except when I used a pot on the stove of gas. But I love the tase with just plain popcorn, I will get a little more adventurous next time😆😁 yes it was hot but you grab the little ears and they are safely cool , I have very tender fingers. Clean up and storage also perfect 🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

First off, it has been my experience that most folks don't really know how to use a microwave properly, with temp fluctuations and wattage differences between models. Also: buy cheapo corn kernels, of indeterminate age, and your results will vary. Kind of like buying old navy beans.The inside is clearly marked for corn levels so you don;'t have a Peter Brady moment. I have never used this with oil, so I cannot speak to that. I typically only have 5 or so kernels that did not pop in an entire batch. That is better than bagged microwave popcorn. The unpopped go into a jar and we try 'em again next time. No big deal.The silicone is very soft, and becomes more so with heating and popping. PROTIP: Put the whole rig on a plate so you can lift it out via the plate, and not squeeze the mushy and hot popcorn container. This will help reduce spillage as well as burns.If your corn storage is in a place that gets very cold in the winter, then set the kernels out on the counter while you have dinner so they get to ambient. This will help to eliminate duds. Alternatively, if you are good with using different levels of power on your microwave, you can 'warm' them up on a VERY low setting for a bit before actually starting to go into popping time.If you have an older or lower wattage microwave, it may take longer to pop *all* popcorn, not just this method. If you don;t want it to burn, work on your attention deficit issues. When it is had been 5 seconds since your last audible popping sound, take it out, no matter how much is unpopped.NOTE: If you overfill this, it will definitely go all over the place. The lid doesn't cinch down in any way; it just rests (which is what you want, so you don't build up a pressure sealed system and blow up the thing), so there is nothing keeping that volume trapped if you can't be bothered to put in the proper amount in the first place.This is working splendidly after two years of multiple times per week use. We do not smoosh it down every time afterwards because we have enough room, and we do not put butter or anything in the container -- just for popping, not serving (for us). If you do hard scrubbing and collapse for storage every time, your mileage may vary, which is often the case for devices of this material.Will get another over sales this week to have to hand. Electronic dumb poppers are still nearly 30 bucks. This makes delightful, crisp, fully popped corn.

Sure, I could buy popcorn in a microwave bag. I could even DIY it with a paper lunch bag. But it seemed wasteful, throwing away all those paper bags, and the DIY version would leave an oil slick in the microwave. Since popcorn is one of my favorite snacks, and I have it several times a week, this has cut down my trash by quite a bit! I've become "that person" who takes her own jar to the bulk bins for a popcorn refill, and I use this to pop my corn. The only trash comes from the empty oil bottles, and I can live with that.After a few months of testing this popper, here are my notes: It compresses flat and stores easily, is easy to wash, and I can use a small amount of oil to keep salt stuck to my popcorn. On the downside, you absolutely need to stop the microwave before the popping stops or you will have blackened popcorn. Also, don't overload it with kernels. Fill it to the first line in the bottom, or you will have unpopped corn. Make a few batches if you need to make more popcorn than that.

I got it right the first time thanks to my microwave. This item is fantastic for fast and good popcorn if you use the right product(s). I got a full volume or about 90% filled of perfectly popped popcorn in the silicon bowl. I used Orville Redenbacher's Original popcorn, only a 1/4 cup, with a teaspoon of buttery oil and 1/2 teaspoon of Flavocol buttery salt. I set my microwave on "Popcorn" mode and let it pop until the kernels stopped popping and quickly stopped the microwave heating. There were no burns and 99% of the kernels popped. The popcorn was fluffy and crispy. I recommend this product. If you don't have a popcorn mode then you may have to adjust the microwave power level to a lower level to get the heating just right but try it first on normal then adjust accordingly. Do not put more than a 1/4 cup. I am not sure if you have to put oil on the kernels or not. I did it for flavoring and I wouldn't use more than 1 or 1.5 teaspoon of oil.
