This is the BEST & EASIEST popcorn popper I ever used!!! It makes the most delicious popcorn in minutes. I just received it Yesterday and already made 5 batches of popcorn! It pops the corn fast and evenly and leaves very little if any unpopped kernels. I only used 1/4 C kernels and the popper was almost filled to the top with popped corn. I used Orville Redenbacher’s Popcorn and all 5 batches were FANTASTIC!!! I set my micro-oven at 4 minutes and listened for the popping to slow down. As soon as the POPPING SLOWED DOWN, I removed the popper from the micro-oven. MOST BATCHES TOOK LESS THAN 2 MINUTES!!! The popcorn made with sugar and splenda required LESS COOKING TIME. I swirled some hot water and soap in the popper after use and clean up was a breeze! Nothing stuck to the popper, not even granulated sugar! HERE ARE THE RECIPES FOR THE 5 DIFFERENT BATCHES: #1: NO OIL. 1/4 C Kernels + 1/8 tsp Kosher Salt. Stir salt with kernels before popping. The popcorn was very good, similar to air popped, but a lighter texture. #2: OIL 1/4 C Kernels + 1/8 tsp Kosher Salt +1 TBS Canola Oil Stir all the ingredients together in the popper before popping. This batch was TO DIE FOR!!!! All the kernels popped and the popcorn had a buttery taste with a hint of saltiness. #3: Oil + Wilton Butter Flavoring 1/4 C Kernels + 1/8 tsp Kosher Salt +1 TBS Canola Oil +1/8 tsp Wilton Butter Flavoring Add all the ingredients into the popper and stir them with a spoon before popping. This batch had a really buttery flavor with the perfect amount of salt. My family devoured this batch and wanted more! #4 Kettle Corn. 1/4 C Kernels + 1/8 tsp Kosher Salt +1 TBS Canola Oil + 1/8 tsp Wilton Butter Flavoring + 1TBS + 1 tsp Granulated White Sugar Add all the ingredients into the popper and stir them with a spoon to evenly coat, before popping. This was sooooooooo GOOD!!!!! This Popcorn TASTED EXACTLY LIKE KETTLE CORN that you would purchase at a fair!!! Just let the popped corn cool a minute before touching; the sugar gets hot. #5 SPLENDA KETTLE CORN: THE BEST!!!!!!!! AS GOOD AS “REAL SUGAR” VERSION!!! 1/4 C Kernels + 1/8 tsp Kosher Salt +1 TBS Canola Oil + 1/8 tsp Wilton Butter Flavoring + 6 (tsp sized) packages of Splenda Mix the Splenda with all the ingredients before popping. This was as good as the batch made with sugar(batch #4)! In fact, you could not distinguish a difference in taste between the two!!! EXCELLENT KETTLE CORN!!!!! THIS WAS THE EASIEST/FASTEST POPPER to use. Clean up was 2 seconds, and the POPCORN was FANTASTIC!!! DEFINITELY 10 STARS!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! IF YOU LOVE POPCORN, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!! I forgot to mention: the popper collapses down in size for easy storage – added bonus!! UPDATE to review: 7/30/2015 I was so IMPRESSED with this popcorn popper that I ordered 2 more! I sent one to each of my children & they loved it!!!Read more

Better than the Presto popper, which requires special inserts and tended to burn popcorn after a few batches. Took a while to master the Lekue, but finally ended up with really good popcorn. First the DOs: 1. Use about 1/4 cup of popping corn or less. 2. Pop on High for about 2 minutes. If the popping slows down, stop it then. 3. Scoop the popped corn into a bowl. There will be some un-popped kernels left in the popper. 4. Pop the remaining kernels for a minute or so. When the popping is almost done (1 second between pops) turn off and move to bowl. 5. Practice a bit. Every microwave is different and different varieties of popcorn behave differently. DONT’S 1. Don’t wait until every kernel is popped. Some will ultimately burn. 2. Don’t get distracted. The time between perfection and burnt popcorn is very short. Cleaning is very easy if you don’t use oil and sugar. If you do use these, put some water and a drop of detergent in the popper, stick it in the microwave for 20 secs., then wash. Note: I had tried it using cooking or olive oil and/or salt, but found the unadulterated version (no oil/salt) was easier to control and made good, light, popcorn.Read more

I purchased this product about a week ago.Lekue Microwave Popcorn Popper/Popcorn Maker, Red After washing and drying it, I made my first batch of popcorn. I was impressed with how few kernels remained when the popping finished. I do recommend you stay near the microwave to listen for the popping sounds, as popping times will vary depending on how much corn you put into the bowl. I also do not add oil when popping. This is an item I will recommend to family and friends and can see myself purchasing again in the future as a gift.Read more

My first impressions: Per the instructions, I used 1/2 cup of kernels, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a couple splashes of table salt. After about two minutes in the microwave, I realized that 1/2 cup is too much. Although it was still popping vigorously, the top had popped off and popcorn was spilling out. The popcorn at the top of the pile was a bit scorched, the rest was just fine. There were some unpopped kernels, but most likely because I stopped the microwave before it turned into that scene from “Real Genius”. Next time I’ll try 1/3 cup of kernels and maybe just under 1 tbsp olive oil. Update: Yes, 1/3 cup is the correct amount. It fills the bowl without overflowing and only a few unpopped kernels at the bottom. So far, I am pleased with it. Conventional popcorn with the convenience of microwave popcorn Update: I’ve seen others report that the popcorn gets burned. Not counting my first experience, I have not noticed excessive burning. Or, at least, no more than I would expect from prepackaged microwave popcorn. I do use a little olive oil and a drizzle of melted butter, so that may help. I also don’t try to pop EVERY kernel. As soon as there is a second and half to two second interval between pops, I pull it from the microwave. I’d rather have a few unpopped kernels at the bottom than have burned popcorn. (Working in a cube farm, I can tell you the worst smell in the world is burned microwave popcorn.)Read more

Mi opinión después de un mes de uso muy intensivo por todos en casa es que es un muy buen producto pero le falta ALGO para tener 5 estrellas. Empiezo por lo bueno Vas a comer palomitas más sanas porque las que hagas con esto no tendrán los aditivos que tienen las preparadas. Además, se nota en el sabor, son más naturales y con un ligero toque a lo que tu quieras. Te puedes hacer la receta que tu quieras y además tiene la “capacidad de almacenaje” suficiente para que coman hasta 4 personas sin atiborrarse. En mis fotos no sale mucha cantidad porque esas las prepare para mi sólo. Además en el fondo vienen marcadas las medidas para hacer 50 o 100 gramos de palomitas, suficiente para saber cuando hacer palomitas para 1, 2, 3 o 4 personas. Se quedan muy pocas sin hacer. El embalaje es original por parte de lekue, buen material y presentación con un pequeño manual para salirte de las típicas palomitas con aceite. Si eres un poco creativ@ te puedes hacer unas buenísimas. PERO… empezamos a restarle puntos. Te va a costar cogerle el truco para que salgan como a ti te gusta. En mis primeras veces (con la palomitera) salieron la mitad quemadas, y la otra mitad con dudoso gusto no apetecible ni para el perro. Con el tiempo le coges el truco aún siguiendo el pequeño manual, harás las palomitas a tu manera. Es fácil de limpiar, a medias. Me explico. El aceite se va a quedar ahí hasta la siguiente vez que prepares si no la limpias muy bien. En el lavavajillas no sale bien y a mano a veces se sigue quedando el aceite “brillando”. Además, aunque el envase rojo es medianamente fácil de limpiar, la tapa que viene para que no salten las palomitas, se queda amarilla a la segunda vez que la uses. Y no, no somos unos marranos. Se queda así de verdad aún lavandola. Después de un mes de uso, RECOMIENDO la compra, la ventaja de poder comer palomitas mucho más saludables es muy superior a las contras. (Y ni caso a la gente que dice que rompe el microondas, es imposible que esto cause la rotura del microondas) Por último, un par de CONSEJOS: – Intenta lavarlo cuando se quede frío para que no te pase como a mi, no esperes al día siguiente. – Las primeras veces que hagas palomitas, sigue las instrucciones del manual pero por debajo de lo que marca. Es decir, donde pone 100gr echa 75gr. Donde pone que le eches 4 cucharadas de aceite, échale 3. Y donde pone 4 minutos al microondas ponle 3’30”. Y ahi poco a poco ve mejorando tu “táctica palomitera”. Espero te ayude.Read more

Este bol es una maravilla. Vale para todo, no solo para hacer palomitas. Si que esta claro que te lo vas a comprar para hacer palomitas muy caseramente. Te lo recomiendo 100 %, vale la pena. Llevaré 300 kg de palomitas echas en el microondas. A parte, como te decía, he echo verdura como brocolí, patatas, cebolla y zanahorias, y va genial. Lo bueno que tiene es que es grande, y puedes meter cualquier cosa como verduras y pescado y se hace perfectamente. Para las palomitas, te puedes reinventar a lo Ferran Adriá. Yo las hago picantes, o con queso, dulces… lo que te dé la gana. Puñadito de maiz, 2 gotas de aceite de oliva, pizca de sal, lo que te dé la real gana, y al micro. Un consejo que te dan, es que lo pongas a tope de powa, y cuando no escuches que explotan apagues el micro. A mi me tarda un minuto y medio aproximadamente. Cuando escucho que la batalla de lepanto disminuye, las saco. Ojo que quema!Read more

Al utilizar este producto me ha estropeado el microondas. Lo probé con otro microondas y le pasó lo mismo, solo que al rato si que volvió a funcionar. Creo que se sobre calentó al hacer efecto invernadero o algo parecido con la tapa del bol. Lo compré guiándome por las buenas opiniones, pero no lo recomendaría bajo ningún concepto. No puse mucho maíz, y antes de que se hicieran todas las palomitas, el microondas se apagó y dejó de funcionar.Read more

I was a little sceptical about just how good a silicone tub could be, but after having melted a couple of plastic tubs, or cleaning the microwave after kernels had exploded through cling film, or throwing away half the kernels as the glass bowl was too thick, I thought it was worth a try. Well – I don’t usually write reviews, but this thing is fantastic. Every time used I have had a bowl brimming with fluffy popcorn in under 3 minutes, with very little wastage. If you like popcorn, you’ll love this.Read more
