Microwave Popcorn Popper

Microwave Popcorn Popper Ware

Microwave popcorn has been a popular snack for many decades. The comfort and easy of popping corns at your house makes them an easy to cook snack which is the primary reason for their popularity.

The microwave popcorn bags were very popular sometime back. However, with a series of health hazards and questions being raised about the paper bags themselves and the fumes coming from it after popping corn have dampened the product a bit.

At such times, the best solution for home made microwave pop corns is the microwave popcorn popper.

This is probably the best of both worlds – you get the comfort of cooking quick home made snack without the ill effects of paper pop corn.

The microwave popcorn poppers are simple microwavable boxes with lids. These are designed to ensure that the heat is evenly distributed to all the popcorn kernels inside and that they all pop around the same time. This means that you can get all the popcorn inside cooked in a single round.

The simplicity of this popper is probably its best highlight. To pop corn kernels, you do not need any additional add-on like pads that some other poppers require. If you need to add something, just add seasoning to make your popcorn tastier.

Drawbacks

Among the most common complain regarding this popper is the amount of heat the vessel gains during the microwave process. The popper vessel can get too hot to lift with bare hands (which is typically not how microwavable vessels are designed).

Another problem with this popper is that it does not function well at very high microwave powers. The popcorn tend get charred at high power rather than turning out soft and fluffy.

Using the Popper

This is one of the simplest poppers to use. Just add corn kernels in the bowl, cover it with the lid and microwave the contents. The timing for popping the corns depends on the kind of microwave and the power levels. However, it has been observed that it performs best at medium power levels.

Time for which you need to microwave may require some attempts before you can finalize an optimum time. However, a good estimate of whether the popcorn are ready is to listen to them popping. If you hear a gap of around 2-3 seconds between successive pops, you know that most of your popcorn are done.
