Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nordic Ware Micowave Popcorn Popper 12 Cup
Customer Review: Best I've used to date
Summary: 4 Stars
The popcorn popper bowl is "granite ware"(like their bacon rack) and serves well. it heats up so be careful of your fingers when you take it out. It works very well in my opinion. It will leave unpopped kernals, but this is more related to the age, humidity etc of the popcorn than the bowl.. (Wikipedia has a decent article on popcorn). I used to use a fair amount of "microwave popcorn" but it is probably not very healthy and very expensive.. about 25-60 cents an ounce (and that's total oil, salt and all not just popcorn) while one can easily buy bulk popcorn for 1.5-3 cents an ounce.. so who cares if a few don't pop! The top (made of the same material as the spattershield) indeed "fits poorly". Truth is its not fitted at all! It simply sits in a groove.. all it does basically is keep popcorn in the bowl while letting steam out. The popcorn made this way IS dry (though not as bad as "air popped" corn)
After popping, I add olive oil (or one could use "butter oil" instead. [I recommend Misto Gourmet Brushed Aluminum Olive Oil Sprayer as it gives a very fine mist and you can use as little as you like.. and add salt of course if you like.] It's GREAT for HEALTHY SNACKS. This item is clearly the best microwave unit on the market I believe.. The bowl will discolor a bit over time, expecially if you decide to pop in oil. This is more akin to "seasoning" similar to a caste-iron skillet.. not "dirt".
If you want OIL IN THE CORN while popping I strongly recommend you use a stovetop Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper or electric popper type unit Back to Basics PC17589 Electric Stir-Crazy Popcorn Popper instead of microwave.
All in all, a perfectly functional unit.. I bought this as part of the set Nordic Ware Microwave 6 Piece Essentials Cook Set rather than by itself as I wanted this and the bacon rack.. the set was basically the same total price.
I'll add another point.. this is a GREAT kitchen bowl! I find myself using it often.. it is sturdy, holds a fair amount and POURS GREAT with NO DRIPS.. :) .. just thought I'd mention it.. :)
