Review on ๐Ÿฟ Red Nordic Ware Microwave Popcorn Popper: Enhance Your Popcorn Experience! by Lisa Frank

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Healthy popcorn in the microwave! HOORAY!

With all the chemicals and unhealthy oils in microwavable popcorn I wanted to make our own healthier version and I think this Nordic Ware popcorn at a very reasonable price ticks all the right boxes. . I wanted to be able to use healthy oils like coconut or ghee and add my own spices or salt and I loved that you can add these before cooking if you want. I preferred this style to the foldable silicone versions as other silicone products I have are difficult to clean, especially with curing oils. It is very easy to care for and can be washed in the dishwasher. It took a bit of trial and error to learn how to find the perfect match and we had some setbacks and a few burns down the learning curve, but finding the right timing and technique is well worth it. , popcorn type etc for your situation. When done right, you can have delicious, crunchy, healthy popcorn of your choice for a fraction of the cost of unhealthy bags. I've experimented with adding 1-2 tablespoons of oil along with flavacol popcorn seasoning before cooking. I've had the best results first preheating the oil and seasonings (with the bowl), adding 1/3 C popcorn and tossing the hot oil in the bowl, then cooking on the highest setting for a little over 4 minutes. I have found that using oil causes splattering of the walls of the microwave oven due to the vents on the sides of the lid. This is easily remedied by placing a cat corner of the napkin or paper towel over the lid when opening. At the moment the popper and the lid show slight signs of wear, the lid hasn't warped or discolored yet, so I hope this popper will continue to work well for a long time.

Pros
  • Yummy
Cons
  • Not the best
