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

When I opened the Amazon box, my hopes weren't high - this looks a bit like a "flea market" product - unmarked, and in a plain cellophane bag.But, it worked perfectly, from the very first time. As the directions stated, I used 1/4 cup popcorn (I used Great Northern, also from Amazon). Also added barely a teaspoon of oil (I used olive as it was at the front of the shelf), and a bit of salt.The directions said "2-4" minutes, so I set the microwave for four minutes, and waited nearby. At the 2.5 minute mark, the popping had basically stopped, so I took it out.Perfect - maybe 3-4 unpopped kernals, no burning, evenly cooked, and easy to clean up after.While the silicone does get somewht hot, it's not so hot that you need potholders to handle it, and it cools quickly - which is nice.Also flattens down for storage, which I suppose could be nice in a smaller kitchen or RV.

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.

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.

This is a wonderful popcorn popper but having a great performing microwave is paramount. My last microwave wasn’t working properly and I was blaming the popcorn maker for the un-popped popcorn when in fact it was a problem with my 10 year old microwave. I love the ease of use and little storage this thing takes up once folded down. Great 5 star purchase

I got a bunch of gourmet popcorn for christmas and didn't have a popper. I found this on Amazon and it works really well. I love the fact that it collapses and stores flat.

I use it all the time, perfect amount for 1-2 people

This product not only saves me from buying prepackaged popcorn, it doesn’t have all the salt and preservatives. I can season my popcorn with anything I want. It pops almost every kernel.

Great product! Simple and quick
