Collapsible Silicone Microwave Hot Air Popcorn Popper Bowl With Lid and Handles (Red)

Very impressed and happy. I put in small handful of kernels and a knob of butter for taste. Ready in 3 minutes in my 700w microwave, no burnt popcorn or kernels. I added a bit of salt after. A few kernels didn't pop, so put those back in for a minute. Easier and tastier than making in a pan. Cheaper and tastier than the microwave popcorn you can buy in a bag. Such good value. I have a small kitchen, so having a collapsible bowl is great for storage.

Much better than electric hot air popping machines (which I had before) because of following reasons. In those machines popcorn usually flies in and around the bowl. due to very hot air they break easily and are at the risk of fire, very dangerous! Salt doesn't stick to popcorn. Benefits of this product is Great size, easy to use, dishwasher safe, No popcorn around the kitchen, Doesn't break, Isn't at the risk of fire, Salt sticks to popcorn. According to manual it should pop in 2-3min, which isn't the case. I'm using 900w microwave and perfect timing is 6min. They start popping after 2-3min and 95% of them pops in the remaining time. But if you leave it for longer some of the popcorn burns, I left it for 7min and popcorn got burnt and dry. also lid got yellow stain, which disappeared after washing in the dishwasher. Also they don't leave an intense smell like ready to make microwave popcorn that you buy in local shop, or if you would make them in pot with oil which adds on calories because of the oil

Good product, only need around 2-4 minutes in microwave otherwise risk burning the corn. I’ve used fry-light a few sprays at the bottom before adding the corn and makes a nice portion. I like how it’s collapsable for easy storage and handy to use as can eat straight from the bowl

Where to start? This was the best purchase I've made in a long while being that I am a HUGE popcorn fan. In the box you get a good sized collapsible bowl with a lid that sits inside about half way in the bowl (so popped corn gently pushes the lid up in the bowl during popping) The only faults are: 1. The instructions printed on the box do not inform you that the bowl should be standing up in the microwave (the collapsible part is simply just for ease of storage and does not aid in the popping process; if it is collapsed in the microwave you'll be picking out all the popcorn that flew out of the bowl.) 2. That the handles are "cool touch". I would advise getting your oven mitts to pull it out of the microwave and taking the lid off as it gets too hot to touch. My go-to method is a teaspoon of rapeseed oil and salt in with the 50g of popcorn (if you're a calorie counter it doesn't add up to much so win; you could actually use even less or eat it plain). I also mix this in a separate small bowl before putting it into the microwaveable bowl just in case extra oil was the cause of the brown base some people have complained of. I have used it over 10 times now and have had no problems. The negative reviews tend to say: -Half the popcorn is getting burnt. SOLUTION: If you collapse the bowl you will see indented in the same colour as the actual bowl there two rings at the bottom that say "50g" and "100g". (Easy to miss- I did the first time). Fill to either level; depending on the wattage of your microwave you will see which one works best (just remember to pull the bowl back up to standing position). For me it was 50g, which only takes two minutes to pop all but a few kernels (like microwave popcorn, just listen to when it gets to a few seconds between the pops to stop the microwave). When I did try 100g it did burn half so... To get a regular microwave bag popcorn yield I have to do this twice each time, but I don't really mind, as it's cheaper, healthier and tastes a lot better. (Just for that added surety I also popped a microwaveable bag of it to taste the difference and ate them side-by-side naughty me!) I had previously bought a popcorn machine and used the standard stove top, but with the latter found my quantities of oil and popcorn to be exceedingly unhealthy and with the former air popped, spit out chewy cardboard like popcorn which was just- ew. I had almost given up until a spot of late night shopping I stumbled upon this magical creation. Honestly it's a product the manufacturers should be proud of and I am proud to own it!

I'm a total popcorn-a-holic and much prefer warm, freshly popped popcorn over the store-bought stuff. This collapsible microwave bowl is a game-changer! It’s so much easier than using a saucepan, and best of all, it doesn’t ruin your pans. I’ve burnt popcorn to the bottom of a saucepan more times than I can count, but that just doesn’t happen with this. You can air-pop for a healthier option, or (like me) add a little bit of olive oil ... it definitely makes it tastier, and helps the salt stick better too (I'm al about savory, salted popcorn ... no sweet popcorn for me!). The bowl is super easy to use, pops evenly, and the clean-up is quick. Love that it collapses down for storage too. I’ve included some photos if you want to see it in action. Highly recommend for popcorn lovers!!

I do not review much -- but this little kit is excellent. After having tried to use my stove top devices (all with clear lids) I realised that I needed a dedicated device. Keep the side of the box to remind you how best to use it, not too much corn/maize, it suggests a quarter cup - if you don't have US measuring cups, I used a small handful. As one of the other viewers suggests, clear the popped corn, and return to the microwave oven, to pop the rest. My handful was completed after the third quick spin. Instead of the burnt ends with my stove top - there was ONE over-cooked seed left. Great value, really safe, and low energy, with a ready made smart looking red serving bowl. What's not to like?

I've tried two different brands of kernels with this, and it always leaves about 1/3 of the kernels unpopped. I've tried leaving them in longer (more than 5 mins at 900w and it burns), reducing the microwave power from 900w to 80% and trying 4-6 mins (still burns over 5 mins and still leaves 1/3 kernels unpopped); I've tried removing the popped corn and putting the unpopped kernels back in (only a small amount pop, the rest will burn fairly quickly). I've tried with and without oil, with and without salt. So it does feel quite wasteful. On the plus side, the kernels that do pop are quite nice, fluffy and not chewy.

Génial pour faire du pop corn au microonde tant qu'on respecte les quantités et le temps, ne crame pas et quasiment tous les grains sont éclatés. On ne se brule pas. (Bien plus efficace qu'un simple bol au micro-ondes...) Mais si on ne suit pas parfaitement les consignes le pop corn peut cramer et laisser des traces marrons sur le plastique qui ne partent pas, dommage.

Urunu alana kadar tereddutteydim, mikrodalga da misir mi patlar dedim ama oyle boyle degil, tek bir fire bile yoktu. Bu arada kutu uzerinde amerika da yetisen misirlara gore bir dakika ayari var, benim misirlarin tamaminin patlamasi 4-5 dk civari surdu. Kutusu uzerinde 2-3 dk yeterli deniyor. Malesef misirlarima yetmedi :) Urun gercekten parasini hak ediyor. Misir patlatmak ve sonrasinda tencereyi yikamak benim icin iskenceye donusmustu. Tesekkurler amazon.

Ürün gerçekten çok başarılı ,mikrodalgada 3,5- 4 dk da mısırların tamamına yakınını patlatıyor.,, yağ ve tuz ilavesi ile mükemmel bir sonuç veriyor. Ben çok memnun kaldım tavsiye ederim.

I have been popping popcorn in a Stir-Crazy Air Popper for years, and I really love it, but as simple to use as that is, I just saw so many videos about popping in the microwave that I wanted to try one in this style. You can pay a lot more for one like this than this one, but I can't imagine what they would do better. The process is so dang simple, there is basically no obstacle to making a bowl of popcorn. I keep it in it's box stacked up with the cereals, and it's almost as easy to make as a bowl of cereal. Drop a 1/4 cup of kernels in there, lid it up, and microwave for 2 minutes. Perfect. Just perfect. Not a lot of dead kernels, and clean up is a breeze. I DON'T add toppings into the silicone bowl, I transfer it to a bigger bowl, so the silicone one only ever touches popcorn. I don't want to get oil and salt in it. I add one of the premade popcorn oils they sell on Amazon, and super fine salt, like popcorn or pickling salt. (I make my own by just grinding salt in my spice grinder.) That takes no time and is delicious. If you want to kick it up a notch, use real melted butter or ghee, and maybe some flavoring, like Hoosier Farms powders. For a slightly better result, soak your kernels in water for 10 minutes, and increase the cooking time to 3 minutes, (though obviously, every microwave is different.) You'll get fewer dead kernels and a bit fluffier popped ones. I'm really pleased with this purchase!
