by Adam (Alamo, CA) 1 review you can use fresh popcorn so there are no chemicals/preservatives. use a little cooking spray - works great. Each microwave is different, so you need to figure out the appropriate time.
by carla (rockville, MD) 1 review Although the popper arrived with a cracked lip -- another review also sited the same problem -- it did not affect the overall effectiveness of the product and I really love it. I recently read that microwave popcorn bags contain a very dangerous, toxic substance called PFOA's, which have been linked to infertility in humans, and caused certain cancers and birth defects in animals. When the bags are heated, the PFOA's vaporize and are absorbed into the popcorn which is then ingested. Unfortunately, the FDA and EPA say they don't have enough scientific evidence yet to pull the bags off the shelves, so I decided to find another way to enjoy microwave popcorn without the risk of ingesting PFOA's. This popper works even better than the bags and is much, much cheaper! Definitely worth the money.
by Patricia (Ocala, FL) 1 review Although I am still experimenting with the amount of popcorn and the time it takes to pop, overall, I am pleased with it, as it is very easy, fast, and convenient.
by Barbara (Hutchinson, KS) 2 reviews I had to return my popper because it arrived cracked in two places. I am waiting for its replacement. I am sure it is a good product as Betty Crocker is known for its quality.
by Gillian (Columbia, MD) 1 review I love this popcorn popper! Popcorn comes out light and fluffy, and you can use plain ordinary popcorn out of the jar or bag--much cheaper than prepackaged--with or without oil. We usually pop without oil, and my husband likes to use nonstick butter spray and salt after cooking while the popcorn is still hot. I bought 3--two so we always have one available if the other one is in the dishwasher, and one for work. Great price and great value!
