i've lately realized that i'm a huge popcorn fan and will go to the theater and see ANY movie just to get some popcorn :) was looking at microwaves today and snatched one of these babies up b/c i can't really purchase bagged popcorn anymore after transitioning to Veganism a year ago...soon as we got home i read all of the instructions which seemed very simple and popped the corn...i'm guessing that there might have been one or two unpopped kernels (so few that i didn't notice) and it was so good that the bowl didn't survive the first 15 minutes of the movie so i actually paused it to make another and it's not b/c there wasn't enough for me and my daughter (it's about the same amount as a bag of popped corn) but b/c it was THAT good...it only took 2 minutes and 15 seconds in our microwave and cleanup was easy...
I enjoy watching the popcorn pop in the microwave and seeing the popcorn fill up the container, sometimes to overflowing. The smell is like being at the theater which I never go to anymore. The kernels pop into big, fluffy pieces of deliciousness. I use Orville Redenbacher's Popcorn when I prepare mine and I am never disappointed.
This particular one was ordered as a gift as it is no longer on the shelf at Walmart along with the Presto Powercups that go along with it. My first one was given to me by my brother. I used it hundreds of times while raising six children. Eventually I replaced it and I still love it. Now my grandchildren ask me to make popcorn when they visit because "You make the best popcorn Grandma. ". There is no fat used, and it is always so huge and light and fluffy. For the little children I do melt a little butter for them only after popped and in the serving bowl. I have given these many times as gifts, so I am so sorry that I can't just go to the Walmart store and pick one up.
I love this product My husband eats popcorn almost daily With this product I can make him popcorn easily, the way he likes it (buttery, salty) very quickly and efficiently, easy clean up and much more cost effective than bags Anybody can use this product
I had this product for years, maybe over a decade,: Accidentally, I nuked it too long, so it was destroyed (becoming slightly melted), scorching popcorn and staining my microwave walls, perhaps irreparably. This was my own fault..... These don't require oil--oil would hurt the replaceable paper "concentrator" on the bottom. These inexpensive concentrators burn through fairly quickly, so occasional purchases of a package of a few is required. Sometimes, a slightly scorched taste came through--getting the timing just right can be difficult. Popped corn usually causes the lid to rise up slightly. I prefer air poppers over these--no scorching, no harmed microwaves. Either product offers healthier, far more economical popcorn than microwave bag popcorn....
I've been using these for over a decade. they generally have lasted 5 years. When I received the new one the first thing I noticed is the plastic is half the thickness. I'm not sure how long this one will last. It's disappointing to see the quality drop
When I purchased this popper, I wasn't aware that you have to have an additional "Powerpop" concentrator. (The unit came with 8 extra.) Not only did the popper not pop very well, but the power concentrator caused my microwave (which is new) to overheat and shut itself down during every popping session. I believe that this popper could very well ruin your microwave if you don't have a high watt microwave. Many kernels were left unpopped.
We had one for years worked great then started to burn a hole in concentrator. Bought a new one and it burned holes also. We even reduced power to 50%. My microwave is 1100W. I used a 950W and it worked marginally if you kept the time to 1.5 minutes. Too bad we liked ours for years. Suspect they changed the disposable concentrators.
I have not recieved my product yet, just an email that says it was delayed. However, I have used this products since it first came on the market (or close to it). This is actually only my second one. I will never buy another type of Popcorn popper; this one is superb. However, it is a pain to re-order the paper cup inserts.
The time was set for 2 minutes and it burned the popcorn and the dish that you were to put the popcorn on I just didn't want to take the chance of it uniting in the microwave and I didn't use oil like it said with or without oil
