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 purchased this because my air-popper stopped working so I wanted to try something new. The item has worked for me well. I have not had any problems with burning of the product as I have read by others. I do not use oil when cooking my popcorn with this product since I had read by others that it worked well without needing to do so. I confirm that to be the case. My 1200 W microwave is an older model, but it still works great, and I use it on high for 2 minutes to get the perfect batch. I also fill my popcorn between the first and second level mark and it pops it to the brim (yellow popcorn) with no or a couple over edge popcorn. Then I add the popcorn oil and salt after in a separate bowl so I can pop more kernels without needing to wipe out any residue oil. it makes for a very easy quick cleaning. We like popcorn at our home and this popper allows us to adjust oil levels and type of oil to use. We also do other flavors and having the popcorn without oil makes this easy. I use to have to get my air-popper out, pop the popcorn, unplug, then wash the items, and put away. I still go through the same steps, but this is so much easier to clean, use, and put away. I plan to get one for my office. I have no complaints about this product. It is user friendly. I use common sense when using it as well as experimenting microwave timing. I very much like the POPCO popcorn popper and I would recommend it for the popcorn lover. I think it would be a great product to keep at your office, and it could save you much on purchasing the bagged popcorn. I think that popcorn could still be burnt in it just like any microwaveable product. I do not use the popcorn button because I know that each microwave pops popcorn at different levels. Like at home, 2 minutes for the 1200 W is perfect. At work, the 1200 W microwave (newer version) only takes a minute 10 seconds or it will burn it I add anymore time than that. Best thing to do is to figure out what it will take for the particular microwave you plan to use to pop your popcorn. When I first use a microwave, I listen for when the popcorn begins to stop popping or gets intermittent popping, then I stop it. I figure out the time from there, then I work with it increasing or decreasing no more than 5 second increments until I know when it takes too long or leaves a lot of kernels. Then I use that to measure the cooking time. I have found the popcorn button not to be accurate, and more often, it will burn the popcorn. Smaller amounts also take less time. I have learned that also from using the POPCO already as well as popping smaller bags at work and home.

I used to have a popcorn machine that I had to put oil in, and the popcorn came out chewy, not crispy. With the POPCO, I don't use any oil, so the popcorn is crispy. Cleanup is way easier, too. It's also healthier than microwave popcorn bags bacause it has much less fat & calories, and it's better for the environment because it doesn't have rainforest-destroying palm oil. The only small problem is that when I make a full bowl, some of the kernels get slightly burned, so now I just make two small batches. I spray on some cooking oil spray, add my seasonings, and it's SOOOO GOOOOD.

This thing is MAGIC! I love popcorn but know that the microwave kind is not the healthiest snack. I didn't want to deal with the hassle of an air popper taking up space on my counter (or dragging it out and putting it up over and over again). This is the PERFECT solution. I put in some kernels (there are two fill lines marked on the inside of the bowl so no need to measure first), put on the lid, and pop away! I listen for the popping to stop (usually 2-3 minutes). And just that easy I have perfectly popped popcorn with no oil needed! And I mean perfect. I've used it a dozen times already and never had one burned kernel. And I only usually have 2 or 3 unpopped kernels left. The material is easy to wash and collapsible so it would be easy to store if I didn't use it every day. I use the smaller fill line and get around 4 cups of popped corn but you can use the bigger fill line and make double that. This is officially my favorite kitchen gadget!

great product. Easy to use for healthier popcorn. better to store than an air popper. You really have to watch the timer or the popcorn will burn, only reason it does not get a five star, it gets extremely hot !!

If you make popcorn at home, you need this popcorn popper!! You pour 1/4 cup of popcorn in, stick it in the microwave for allotted time and it pops almost every kernel and the popcorn tastes great! Super easy to use, popcorn is so healthy compared to the bags with oil in them, it works incredibly well and the size is perfect.

Love love love this popcorn maker. I am one who likes to wait to review items before I’ve given them a lot of use. Well….this popcorn maker is da bomb. I originally bought one for my daughter for in her dorm suite as she is a popcorn lover like me. She loved it so I decided to buy one for myself and use it instead of dragging out my stir crazy every time. So many pros to this maker. It stores flat if you want it to, although mine really doesn’t stay in the cupboard since I use it almost daily as my nightly snack. It states you can put oil in it but doesn’t need it. I tried without the oil and it popped really well but just tasted a bit bland. I found that if I put in 4 tablespoons of kernels and just under 2 teaspoons of oil it is the perfect balance. I use the popcorn button on my microwave. Now I will say I usually do have some I popped kernels. Instructions state that any unused kernels can be put back in popper and in the microwave to finish popping and I have done that from time to time. I’ve never experienced any burnt kernels either. This is a very inexpensive popper and it works fantastically. I have also purchased one for our camper as well!

I really wasn't expecting much for 7.99 and a microwave popper as a diehard real popcorn maker fan but this thing is awesome!! I am so impressed!! I overfilled it my first time and it went everywhere but every kernel popped!! I looked for grannies or old maids and there were none!! I did use a bit of oil and it did wonderful such easy clean up! I have cataracts and I love to read and eat but they have gotten so bad reading is difficult and watching TV and eating is not the same but I had ordered a hard not find movie from eBay and as I settled in to watch I wanted the movie theater expand got this popper out for the first time and was so thrilled with all the popcorn and I used my movie theater liquid seasoning with a Ziploc bag and shook it all up and grabbed my Pepsi and full bag of popcorn and had an amazing in home theater experience thanks to the quickness and ease of this popper!! It took the full 4 minutes but my microwave is old came with the rental and I did use probably too much popcorn but really and I rarely review but I am so impressed I had to share!! If anyone has doubts buy it NOW!! Love love love!! Oh and easy clean quick rinse and done!!

This is a great item (I have purchased 2). I keep one at home and the other in a travel trailer. This takes no room in the cupboard, is lightweight, has no cords and pops popcorn perfectly. I have not had any issues with handling after using in microwave and no issues of any sort in the taste of the popped popcorn.

This has made popcorn popping so easy! You just put in some popcorn kernels, pop on the lid and throw it in the microwave and hit the popcorn setting (or equivalent depending on your microwave). Out comes nice fresh hot popcorn ready for butter or whatever topping you want. You can eat it right out of the container. I have several air poppers and the popcorn is always chewy and stale textured with them, but this popper has perfect textured popcorn. Light and fluffy with more kernels popped and less waste. I really recommend!

Excellent product, and saves me from PFOA's , the "forever chemicals" that are in microwave popcorn bags. It pops everything nicely, and I can control the amount of oil and salt content. Folds up nicely, and easy to clean.

I make popcorn with it and it works perfectly fine every time.

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.
