The Micro-Pop microwave popcorn popper puts you back in control by offering a healthy way to make popcorn. Bagged popcorn is filled with harmful chemicals that can negatively affect you and your family. The Micro-Pop features a temperature safe borosilicate glass bowl that is safe to use. Just place your kernels in the bowl and microwave for a couple minutes for fresh, delicious popcorn.
Save Time, Money and the Landfill
Gone are the days of buying bagged popcorn with artificial flavors and colors. Save time by making less trips to the grocery store and save money by buying popcorn kernels in the jar vs. the pre-packaged popcorn. Using the Micro-Pop also helps our landfills by eliminating the wax-coated disposable bags from pre-bagged popcorn that can take a long time to decompose.
Easy to Clean
The Micro-Pop popcorn maker, lid and borosilicate glass bowl are dishwasher safe for fast and easy clean-up.
The lid serves as a convenient measuring tool for your kernels. For the 1.5 quart Micro-Pop, use one lid full of kernels for a bowl of popcorn. For the 3 quart Micro-Pops, use 2 lids full of kernels. You can also add less kernels to the bowl if you wish to enjoy a smaller amount of popcorn.
Drop the measured kernels into the bottom of the popper and place the lid on top to go in the microwave.
This step is entirely optional, but the perforated lid can be used to melt butter or margarine over your popcorn while it pops. The lid allows to butter to melt through the holes and distribute evenly over the kernels.
Please note that microwaves vary greatly. Make sure you are listening to the pops while your microwave is making the popcorn and stop the microwave once the pops get to be 2 seconds apart. Some microwaves may require more time, while others require less time.
A fast and easy way to make microwave popcorn.
This does not make a lot of popcorn. Think of it as single serving. It doesn't even fill one of the small paper popcorn bags, but that's fine. It pops quickly to make mulitple batches.You'll probably need two sets of times for this, the time for when it's just popcorn and the time for when there is butter in the top section. The butter drops as the popcorn pops, which makes it distribure evenly, which is wonderful, but which pulls away some of the heat. In my microwave, it's 2:30 just popcorn and 2:45 for popcorn with butter, to give you an idea. It's not a huge difference, but if I don't give those extra fifteen seconds, a lot of the kernals don't pop.That said, it's really consistent, and once you have your two times, you can just reuse them, no issue. Even if you do two batches back to back, the time is the same.It is critical that the turntable in the microwave actually be turning while you're using this, or the best case is the popcorn just won't pop. The instructions say it can damage that microwave. I lucked out, but ended up with a kettle of hot, unpopped kernals, save for two or three.My only complaint about this is it makes buttered popcorn so quickly, so easily, and so well I'm probably eating more of it than I should.
Pops great, only 5 kernels didn't pop.The smaller quantity the popper pops up is a good thing since my spouse doesn't eat popcorn. The melting butter in the lid was also a plus. My induction stovetop popper was not doing a good job. Our living room and kitchen are red, the assorted colors are are very attractive and you should be able to find one to blend with your decor. The design is creative, useful, and well done; the colorful plastic/silicone protects the glass and is very functional as a handle. Overall, great popper and serving bowl, it also cleans easily in the sink.
Product is perfect size for one hearty serving. Consistently pops all the kernels (assuming you don't overload it). Haven't had a single burnt popped kernel yet. The lid has holes for butter to melt through during popping; however, the butter melts completely before the popping starts, then pools at the bottom to become a dark brown coating on the glass (hence 4 stars rather than 5). Better to melt the butter separately and add it to the popcorn later.Plus, it's just darn cute.
