The easiest, the cleanest, no oil needed. Fast, predictable results in the microwave in about 3 minutes. I threw my Whirly Popper away. This is the ONLY way to nuke-pop. You learn the right amount of dry kernals to add to the popper--trial and error. Start with a couple of tablespoons full--dry, no oil. The popcorn you buy will vary in its final yield of popped corn. So each time you switch brands, you'll get a slightly different quantity of finished corn. Popping time? Go by sound. I load my popper, put the top on, put it into the microwave and set it to 4 minutes, which is ALWAYS more time than I need. Then I just listen. Once the rate of popping slows to about 1 or less ever 4 seconds, I open the microwave. Wait a few seconds for the final pops, and extract the popper by its white handles--which will be cool to the touch. The yellow popping container may be too hot at first. Then I dump the popped corn into a bowl, and add whatever fixin's I'm using. Typical popping time is around 3 minutes, sometimes a little less. Don't go by time. Go by sound. I have never had any burned kernals, and almost all of them are popped. No greasy oil!

The key to this as with ANY microwave popcorn maker or the pre-bagged stuff is simply DO NOT USE THE POPCORN SETTING ON THE MICROWAVE. Honestly from the time microwaves came out with the setting, every manufacturer has said not to use it, and idk why microwaves still have it. Follow the instructions included with this bowl.1 - FULLY EXTEND THE BOWL BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN. Some of the pics I see in the reviews have the bowl still collapsed with burnt popcorn inside. The bowl collapses for storage. For popping, extend the bowl. It was hard for me to get it into the extended position the first time, but as you work with it, it will get easier.2 - Fill the bottom of the bowl up to the top of the bottom indention for a full bowl (about 1/3 cup of kernels); a little less for a half bowl (about 1/4 cup of kernels). You can use a little oil here if you are inclined to, but the silicone will be much easier to clean if you skip that and add it after the fact in a different bowl.3 - Place the lid on the bowl, put inside the microwave.4 - DO NOT USE THE POPCORN SETTING. This bears repeating. First of all, the popcorn setting assumes you are using bagged popcorn with the reflector inside as well as oil which will heat the kernels differently than air popping. Also, popcorn settings require that you choose the bag size/number of ounces. Just set the timer for 3 mins and wait by the microwave; DON'T WALK AWAY AND DO SOMETHING ELSE WHILE IT IS POPPING. Even pre-bagged popcorn says this.5 - When you hear the popping slow down to the point that there are 2 or 3 seconds between pops, take it out. Sometimes it only takes 2 minutes for that to happen, sometimes it takes 2 mins and 48 seconds. It's all going to depend on how fresh your kernels are, how long they have been sitting on the shelf open, the humidity level in your house, and a BUNCH of other factors. If for some reason you get close to the 3 minute mark and the popping has not slowed yet, use the "add 30 seconds" button most microwaves have now so you can add time without stopping the microwave. But ONLY if the popping has not slowed down to 2 - 3 seconds between pops.6 - remove the bowl from the microwave, remove the lid from the bowl, pour popcorn to a hard-sided easy to clean bowl to add salt, butter, other flavorings.Simple. I find that this has been the best way to enjoy popcorn several times a week. It's much cheaper to by the kernels by the bottle than in the bags with all the stuff added, it allows me more freedom to flavor it the way I want it, and all without having to make space for an air or oil popper that would sit on the counter. As long as I don't add the toppings to the popping bowl, cleanup is a breeze -- just rinse and dry.

I had a really expensive popcorn habit. My husband would buy four or five big bags of Skinny Pop and I’d plow through them in no time because I LOVE POPCORN. It was really becoming a problem, both storage wise and financially). I decided to try and make my own popcorn at home and after researching a few poppers, decide this one was the one for me. I’m not joking: this product has revolutionized my life! I can’t say enough good things about it. I simply put three tablespoons of plain kernels in it, put the top on, and let for a minute or two in my microwave. It comes out fluffy and cooked perfectly! I use a cheddar shake if I feel like some flavor, but it’s so fluffy and fresh without it, too. Best part: no oil or chemicals like bagged or microwave popcorn! Highly recommend!

Maui Heat was a not so great but EVERYTHING else is wonderful she was so happy to have it, such a great purchase popped all kernels and the flavoring is perfect for the size of the capacity of the popper. Get yourself one

Love the design and quality of this popper and the first couple of batches I made (using my own kernels, small microwave) came out fluffy and delicious with a few unpopped kernels. I haven't been able to replicate that since :(Every single batch burns a little now, no matter how many kernels I put in the bottom (seems like they need plenty of room to pop around :-) and even when I stop the microwave way before the popping slows. I wish I could figure it out, because I really like this popper otherwise.

Great for making oil free popcorn that's just enough for one person. Easy to use and clean and stores away without taking much space. Love it.

Very good popcorn. Very easy to pop. Almost no unpopped kernels and almost no husks to get stuck in your teeth. Good flavor as well.

It's a little pricy but worth the extra cost. I tried 2 other Popcorn poppers. This one makes fluffier popcorn and leaves far fewer unpopped kernels in 3 minutes with my popcorn brand. Sturdy and easy to wash in the dishwasher.

This is my second silicone popcorn maker. The first one burnt the kernels as they were popping. I thought if I bought a more expensive one, it would work. But no, only 1/4 of the kernels pop and then start to burn. Don’t waste your money. I’m going back to an air popper.
