Amazon.com Review
Made of gemstone, an unbreakable, chip-proof cookware material, the Nordic Ware corn popper efficiently transmits microwave energy directly to the popcorn kernels, popping them quickly without oil. It produces the results of a hot-air popper without an additional appliance. This oil-free method is refreshing when compared to bagged corn, because you don't have to contend with grease, salt, and artificial flavoring unless you dress the corn yourself after cooking. However, take care to monitor the progress of corn during the first use. The manufacturer lists a three-to-five-minute cook time for 1/2 cup of unpopped kernels, but as microwave ovens vary, it could take considerably less time to pop. And overcooked corn burns fast using this method. Luckily, the base and lid are designed not to warp or melt, so burned kernels won't damage them. Use this versatile popper for cooking, storing, and serving popcorn and other snacks. The popper base is also ovenproof. --Carol Gnojewski

 Why didn't I buy this sooner? June 25, 2008
terpsgirl (Arlington, VA)
Since my New Year's resolution was to drastically cut down on my potato chip consumption, I turned to popcorn since it is quite a bit healthier yet gives me salty, crunchiness. I had been buying the 'natural' flavor microwave bags. Not only are they expensive per serving, they are still full of junk. So I got a clue and ordered this popper. I'm so so happy with it. The popcorn it produces is so good and much cheaper than microwave bags. A box (3 bags) of mic popcorn ranges between $2.50 and $3.50, a bag of popcorn kernels is about $1.39 and makes almost 25 servings. I use about 3 tbsp kernels and add just a few drops of olive oil...enough to coat the kernels. Then I add some salt to that mixture. (I stir it around with a spoon to make sure the oil/salt is all evenly distributed. It's worth taking the time to do this step.) Then it only needs about 2 1/2 minutes to be perfectly done. I've also tried cheese topping which was good but my favorite so far is the salt and vinegar I tried...olive oil and salt to coat kernels and then just a few drops of vinegar. BBQ seasoning I had in my pantry was yummy as well. The possibilities are endless!
The description states the bowl is unbreakable, but I dropped mine in the sink and the corner broke off. But it still works just fine.
great popcorn June 22, 2008

The microwaver corn popper performs as described and makes great popcorn with or without oil. We add a half teaspoon of popcorn oil per batch and it gives it a real buttery taste. I would buy this product again.
 It works.. June 22, 2008

The Nordic Ware Corn Popper is good for those who would like to eat popcorn in it's healthiest form (which is why I bought it). It's nice because theirs virtually no clean up because oil is not necessary for popping. It's best put about a 1/4 cup of popping corn in and cook only small portions at a time, if you put in anymore, then most of it will be overcooked. You shouldn't eat more than that amount any ways because corn is a common allergen which can cause breathing problems, hives, and gastrointestinal upsets, if you eat a ton of it. Any ways, my only problem with this product is that it's big and tends to wear out your microwave. But it works.
Great replacement for microwave popcorn bags! June 20, 2008
RKooiman (Enid, OK USA)
For a person who enjoys popcorn and eats it regularly, this is a good purchase. If you want to reduce the cost versus bag popcorn while getting the convenience of the bag, this model is the answer. The flavor is great and the costs are excellent. The cooking bowl doubles as a serving bowl and it and the lid are dishwasher safe.
Four tablespoons of unpopped corn works best; offering the greatest capacity with the fewest unpopped kernals and no overheating of the popped corn. Use just enough oil to soak the corn without pooling and cook it for 2:45 or so, depending on your microwave. It works as well with Act II as with Orville Redenbacher's.
Awesome!!! May 31, 2008

This popper is great! I put in a little oil..1/2 cup of popcorn and mixedi in a little tabasco for spicy popcorn. I made so much it was overflowing out of the poppe.
