Popco Silicone Popcorn Maker - Microwave Popcorn Popper with Handles - Collapsible Bowl, Heat-Resistant, Easy to Clean, Ideal for Family Movie Nights, 15-Cup Capacity - Light Blue

I purchased this because my air-popper stopped working so I wanted to try something new. The item has worked for me well. I have not had any problems with burning of the product as I have read by others. I do not use oil when cooking my popcorn with this product since I had read by others that it worked well without needing to do so. I confirm that to be the case. My 1200 W microwave is an older model, but it still works great, and I use it on high for 2 minutes to get the perfect batch. I also fill my popcorn between the first and second level mark and it pops it to the brim (yellow popcorn) with no or a couple over edge popcorn. Then I add the popcorn oil and salt after in a separate bowl so I can pop more kernels without needing to wipe out any residue oil. it makes for a very easy quick cleaning. We like popcorn at our home and this popper allows us to adjust oil levels and type of oil to use. We also do other flavors and having the popcorn without oil makes this easy. I use to have to get my air-popper out, pop the popcorn, unplug, then wash the items, and put away. I still go through the same steps, but this is so much easier to clean, use, and put away. I plan to get one for my office. I have no complaints about this product. It is user friendly. I use common sense when using it as well as experimenting microwave timing. I very much like the POPCO popcorn popper and I would recommend it for the popcorn lover. I think it would be a great product to keep at your office, and it could save you much on purchasing the bagged popcorn. I think that popcorn could still be burnt in it just like any microwaveable product. I do not use the popcorn button because I know that each microwave pops popcorn at different levels. Like at home, 2 minutes for the 1200 W is perfect. At work, the 1200 W microwave (newer version) only takes a minute 10 seconds or it will burn it I add anymore time than that. Best thing to do is to figure out what it will take for the particular microwave you plan to use to pop your popcorn. When I first use a microwave, I listen for when the popcorn begins to stop popping or gets intermittent popping, then I stop it. I figure out the time from there, then I work with it increasing or decreasing no more than 5 second increments until I know when it takes too long or leaves a lot of kernels. Then I use that to measure the cooking time. I have found the popcorn button not to be accurate, and more often, it will burn the popcorn. Smaller amounts also take less time. I have learned that also from using the POPCO already as well as popping smaller bags at work and home.

I used to have a popcorn machine that I had to put oil in, and the popcorn came out chewy, not crispy. With the POPCO, I don't use any oil, so the popcorn is crispy. Cleanup is way easier, too. It's also healthier than microwave popcorn bags bacause it has much less fat & calories, and it's better for the environment because it doesn't have rainforest-destroying palm oil. The only small problem is that when I make a full bowl, some of the kernels get slightly burned, so now I just make two small batches. I spray on some cooking oil spray, add my seasonings, and it's SOOOO GOOOOD.

This thing is MAGIC! I love popcorn but know that the microwave kind is not the healthiest snack. I didn't want to deal with the hassle of an air popper taking up space on my counter (or dragging it out and putting it up over and over again). This is the PERFECT solution. I put in some kernels (there are two fill lines marked on the inside of the bowl so no need to measure first), put on the lid, and pop away! I listen for the popping to stop (usually 2-3 minutes). And just that easy I have perfectly popped popcorn with no oil needed! And I mean perfect. I've used it a dozen times already and never had one burned kernel. And I only usually have 2 or 3 unpopped kernels left. The material is easy to wash and collapsible so it would be easy to store if I didn't use it every day. I use the smaller fill line and get around 4 cups of popped corn but you can use the bigger fill line and make double that. This is officially my favorite kitchen gadget!

great product. Easy to use for healthier popcorn. better to store than an air popper. You really have to watch the timer or the popcorn will burn, only reason it does not get a five star, it gets extremely hot !!

Love love love this popcorn maker. I am one who likes to wait to review items before I’ve given them a lot of use. Well….this popcorn maker is da bomb. I originally bought one for my daughter for in her dorm suite as she is a popcorn lover like me. She loved it so I decided to buy one for myself and use it instead of dragging out my stir crazy every time. So many pros to this maker. It stores flat if you want it to, although mine really doesn’t stay in the cupboard since I use it almost daily as my nightly snack. It states you can put oil in it but doesn’t need it. I tried without the oil and it popped really well but just tasted a bit bland. I found that if I put in 4 tablespoons of kernels and just under 2 teaspoons of oil it is the perfect balance. I use the popcorn button on my microwave. Now I will say I usually do have some I popped kernels. Instructions state that any unused kernels can be put back in popper and in the microwave to finish popping and I have done that from time to time. I’ve never experienced any burnt kernels either. This is a very inexpensive popper and it works fantastically. I have also purchased one for our camper as well!

If you make popcorn at home, you need this popcorn popper!! You pour 1/4 cup of popcorn in, stick it in the microwave for allotted time and it pops almost every kernel and the popcorn tastes great! Super easy to use, popcorn is so healthy compared to the bags with oil in them, it works incredibly well and the size is perfect.

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 was a little skeptical when I bought this, not sure how well it would work. To my pleasant surprise it is absolutely wonderful. I like popcorn, but don’t care a lot for the microwave popcorn and don’t always feel like breaking out the kettle. This is so quick and easy. Of course I added melted butter and popcorn salt, but turns out great every time.

This has made popcorn popping so easy! You just put in some popcorn kernels, pop on the lid and throw it in the microwave and hit the popcorn setting (or equivalent depending on your microwave). Out comes nice fresh hot popcorn ready for butter or whatever topping you want. You can eat it right out of the container. I have several air poppers and the popcorn is always chewy and stale textured with them, but this popper has perfect textured popcorn. Light and fluffy with more kernels popped and less waste. I really recommend!

Excellent product, and saves me from PFOA's , the "forever chemicals" that are in microwave popcorn bags. It pops everything nicely, and I can control the amount of oil and salt content. Folds up nicely, and easy to clean.

I make popcorn with it and it works perfectly fine every time.

I really enjoy my popcorn popper so far. I wanted to replace my chip addiction with something healthier and cheaper so I decided to eat popcorn when the cravings hit. But taking out a sauce pan and turning on the stove all the time is such a hassle. Then I searched and found this small gadget. It’s amazing how almost each of corns pop. They are really puffy and crunchy. I don’t put oil so there is minimal cleaning as well. Add a bit of salt and you are good to go. Just make sure folloe the instructions on the leaflet so you don’t put more than what’s recommended otherwise they won’t pop fully. I bought high quality organic kernels and I only had 2-3 unpopped one in each batch. Still it comes much more cheaper than a bag of high quality chips. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fuss free healthy snack.
