Original Microwave Micro-Pop Popcorn Popper, Borosilicate Glass, 3-in-1 Silicone Lid, Dishwasher Safe, BPA Free, 3 Quart (EKPCM-0025)

I am in love with this wonderful popcorn maker. No more messy greasy pan, and the popcorn is delicious. It’s made of strong borosilicate glass (like chemistry class bottles). There was another similar option to consider with a red plastic handle and bottom cover. I chose this one because I think it will last longer. Both parts clean very easily. I use yellow corn kernels. Be careful when removing the silicone lid after popping because there will be a lot of hot steam.After placing popped in corn in bowl I add one of a variety of my favorite oils which I buy here on Amazon. Each has its own distinct flavor ... pistachio, walnut, avocado, or olive oil from La Tourangelle Artisan Oils. I then grind a tiny bit of salt and lots of black or multicolored peppercorns over the popcorn and mix it well. I can’t tell you how delicious this is. The oils are light and healthier than butter. You can also buy a very fine sugar and sprinkle it over buttered popcorn if you want a sweet taste. At this point I actually prefer the oils over butter. I think those that are experiencing issues may just need to experiment with amount of corn and temperature on their microwave. Also, an important consideration is that your kernels of corn are fresh. Stale kernels do not pop well. Buy one. It’s fun, easy and cute! 🍿❤️

This popper is really convenient. I have a 1200 watt microwave with turntable. First, I added the recommended amount of fresh popcorn seeds, placed the popper at the outer edge of the turntable with the handle at the center. About 2/3 of the seeds popped in 2 1/2 minutes. I tried a longer microwave time but the popcorn starts to burn. Then I put in twice the seeds recommended and the popper was about 75% full in 2 1/2 minutes. There were a lot of un-popped seeds. Now I set the microwave to 2 minutes 35 seconds and after 2 minutes 15 seconds of popping I open the microwave door, deposit about a tablespoon of room temperature butter in the popper lid, close the door, and hit the start button doing this as quickly as I can. The popcorn continues to pop and the butter completely melts down into it in the remaining 20 seconds. I then take the handle of the popper with my bare hand as it is only slightly warm and over the kitchen sink I gently shake the popper HORIZONTALLY (so the lid won't fly off) to mix the butter evenly. I remove the lid and add salt before pouring the popcorn into another container for easy munching. To separate the un-popped seeds I pour the popcorn into a strainer bowl Chef Craft, 5-Quart, Deep Colander, White, 11 by 5 inch and shake it allowing the seeds to fall through. Most of the seeds fall through but some are slightly too big. I'm going to enlarge the holes with a hollow punch.For larger gatherings I have a Great Northern Popcorn Popper (Stainless Steel / Stovetop Great Northern Popcorn Original Stainless Steel Stove Top 6-1/2-Quart Popcorn Popper ) which leaves almost no seeds un-popped (The same popcorn as above.) and is available here on Amazon.com.

I absolutely love this popcorn maker. I had bought one from a boutique store about 3 years ago because I wanted an easier method than a kettle on the stove, and I don't want to be eating bag microwaveable popcorn. Unfortunately, I shattered my last one on our granite counter top while cleaning it (undermount sink+granite edge=me holding a glass handle to nothing and glass all over). Anyway, this is pretty fragile, yes, the glass is thin, but it works great. I have a 1000watt microwave, and I make a one and a half batch, cooked for 3 minutes 15 seconds. I put a tablespoon of butter in the top, and I have no issues with soggy popcorn, and almost all kernels pop. The glass needs to be completely cool, and no water anywhere for everything to work properly. I'm not one of those people who needs a heavy coating of butter on my popcorn, so the tablespoon melted during cooking makes it perfect for me. If you use more than that, I'm not sure if you will have the same results. I have no issues with anything burning, and I do use 100% real butter, none of that vegetable oil based stuff.

Bought this for my wife as a Christmas gift, and we haven’t bought microwave popcorn since. Very easy to use, 4 stars only because it can be kinda tricky to get most of the kernels to pop without burning

Honestly my preferred way to make popcorn is on the stovetop. But as my mom eats popcorn almost every night this is a lot more convenient. Put the popcorn in, add some butter to the lid and put it in the microwave. Doesn’t take long, and it’s better and healthier than the microwave popcorn bags.Cleanup is easy; throw it in the dishwasher or wash by hand, top is wide enough that it is easy to get you hand in there to wash.Good product!

I was skeptical, but decided to give this a try. I have been using paper lunch bags to pop my corn in the microwave, and they work well, but I decided to try this because it's durable. I use hull free pop corn and season it with butter spray and butter salt, to cut he calories. The popcorn popped up light and beautifully, and there were a lot fewer unpopped hulls remaining, than with the lunch bags. The measuring lid is very helpful and accurate, in terms of getting the right amount of popcorn, whether a half or full serving. The lid is also a great tool to melt butter in the top as it pops, and distribute it right down into the popcorn, if you want the melted butter. I have hand washed it, and washed it in the dishwasher; either way works great. My only concern is that the popper is glass, and I have to be extra careful, especially with wet hands. I love it!
