 My First M-W Popper September 10, 2008
watthe (LA-CA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Prior to this product, I was using air poppers. Plural, because after the first one died and I couldn't find a replacement, I bought a different brand. Air poppers are fine, though there are disadvantages for which a microwave popper does not suffer. Because microwave (m-w) poppers are self-contained with a lid, whatever kernels pop, remain in the vessel. And unlike an air popper that can allow popped corn to fly everywhere including kernels that pop after leaving the popper, again, a m-w popper inherently eliminates this phenomenon.
Since this is the first m-w popper I've owned, I can't compare it to any other. I will say that the corn that pops tastes the same as air popped, which is to say that unless it's buttered and salted, it will never approach the taste of theater corn or some of the m-w bags. I cannot indulge for medical reasons.
I gave it 4 stars, because I expected it to leave fewer un-popped kernels. For a 1/3-cup portion, 35-45 kernels consistently remain un-popped. It doesn't matter whether the kernels are fresh. Yes, I had some VERY old corn that popped, surprisingly. I thought that fresh corn would provide better results, but it didn't matter. If all other m-w poppers perform the same, then this product should get the full boat.
I would echo the cautions of some other reviewers regarding how hot the bowl gets. But all you need is a towel or something equivalent to insulate it, and have at it. I think I will.

I am pleased by how quickly this corn popper arrived. It is a good quality product and has already performed well. My husband used it
the very day it arrived, with excellent results. This will enable him
to enjoy microwaved popcorn cooked in a much more healthy way than before!
I'm really glad to have found it and then for it to be such a reasonable
price in addition!

This is a well designed product. It has made microwave popcorn bags obsolete at our house -- the bowl is almost as convenient and over the long run far cheaper than the bags. Better - I have complete control over the ingredients that are in the mix.
I want a lower salt and lower sodium snack and this is the easiest way to get it. Dry pop the corn (very easy) in the bowl and squirt a little spray-on margarine (just enough to hold the next ingredeant on the kernels. Finish with a bare sprinkling of salt or (my favorite) sugar. Eats right out of the bowl which is an easy clean up.
I've had one for more than a year and it has seen very heavy use. It has a small crack which (so far)hasn't affected functionality. This purchase is for the successor bowl should the crack increase in size.
 Good corn, 1 out of 2 tries. August 3, 2008

The first batch of corn I popped all came out great. But be careful, this popper needs to be watched, especially in more powerful microwav units. My second attempt led to burnt corn and burn marks inside the popper. Even so, all of the kernals were not popped, so I am unsure whether I am at fault, or the popper. I have yet to be able to remore these scorch marks by the way. I had lightly coated the inside of the popper with oil (as per instructions). Maybe I missed a spot or two? Perhaps I should have ignored the instructions and skipped the oil coating?
But when it works, it seems to produce wonderful pop-corn, even if you are using the inexpensive brands.
Still too soon for me to definitely recommend this unit or not, so I give it a solid '3'.
Tasty and healthy way to make popcorn! July 12, 2008

I had a problem finding a microwave popcorn popper in the stores so a friend recommended this one. We like it a lot! It makes delicious popcorn and we can control the butter and salt that goes on it unlike bagged popcorn. It's a must for popcorn lovers!!
