POPCO Silicone Microwave Popcorn Popper with Handles, Silicone Popcorn Maker, Collapsible Bowl and Dishwasher Safe - 15 Colors Available (Dark Orchid)

Love this silicone popcorn popper, especially at the sale price. This is my second one, and I actually plan on buying more as little gifts. I love air popped popcorn because I’m always dieting, and I have Air poppers. But, I have to take them out of their storage Lokation plug them in, fill them up, put the top on, get a bowl for the popcorn to go into and deal with the crazy popcorn’s that fly everywhere. This silicone popcorn popper is so easy to use. On my first try, I sprinkled some popcorn in the bottom to the Phil line, the smaller Phil line, and then I placed the lid on top and put it in my microwave. I didn’t know how long to pop it for so I put it on for 3 1/2 minutes. When it got close to that, I could tell that the popcorn was taking longer intervals to pop, so I stopped the microwave. The popcorn was perfectly cooked. Of course, I had to melt a little butter and put some salt on top, but I use the bowl that it popped in and after my husband and I had finished eating it, the bowl was so easy to clean and then crunch it down and store it. It was a dream. I’ve read some reviews about people complaining that they burnt their popcorn, well that can happen if you leave it in too long. You have to measure the time based on your microwave and the heat level that it produces, as not all of them produce the same. Once you figure out what your microwave does, you can pretty much estimate how long it’s going to take, but you still have to pay attention because you might’ve overfilled it or underfilled it.

I bought one for myself and loved it so much I bought more for gifts. Very easy to use and pops well.

I was afraid to use this for the longest time because it seemed so flimsy. Well, now I wish I started using it earlier cause it works great with and without adding oil. I primarily use it with an 800 watt microwave but it can be used with the 1000 watt types. My oven has a carousel. First time I used it i just stuck it i . Later I read the instructions and now use it off center with what seems to be the best for maximum kernel poppage. I use Orville R. Kernels. I like it best when I add a half teaspoon to 1 teaspoon oil. I shake and stir the kernels to coat (as instructed by the enclosed paper instructions) and use the 3.5 popcorn setting option on the microwave. I also use them full bowl kernel line fill option on the bowl. Its a great tool and it collapses to 1.5 to 2 inches or so for storage.

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!!

I bought the POPCO Silicone Microwave Popcorn Popper for $9.98 because I wanted an easy way to make popcorn without using microwave bags. The bowl is made from flexible silicone and collapses down to about 2 inches, which makes it very easy to store in a cabinet or drawer. It’s lightweight, comes with a plastic lid to help prevent spills, and is dishwasher safe, so cleanup is simple. It works well and pops most kernels evenly. You can use it with or without butter, and the lid allows butter to melt while the popcorn pops. It’s also nice because you can customize the flavor however you like with seasonings. Microwave power affects the timing, so you just stop it once the popping slows. My nieces in college used it when visiting and loved how quick and easy it was to make their own popcorn. The only downside for me is that the silicone is somewhat thin, so you need to handle it carefully when it’s hot. I also personally prefer glass cookware over heating silicone or plastic. Overall, it’s a convenient, lightweight popcorn maker and a good value for the price, especially if you want something compact and easy to store.
