Glass Microwave Popcorn Popper

A glass microwave popcorn popper may cost a bit more than a plastic model, but the benefits are obvious.  They are more durable, easier to clean, and just have a higher quality feel than the plastic models.

One of the most popular glass microwave popcorn poppers is the Catamount 2.5 quart corn popper.  The clear glass design makes it easy to watch your popcorn as it pops, which the kids just love to do.  You will love the silicone lid that allows you to butter you popcorn as it pops.  By placing a pat of butter on the lid, as the kernels pop the butter melts and seeps through the holes and drips onto the popcorn.

Most of the glass popcorn poppers are dishwasher safe, so cleanup is a breeze.  Even if you choose to clean them by hand, you can quickly clean this type of popper right in the sink with a dishrag.

If you are concerned about the durability of a glass popcorn popper… don’t be.  Most are made from a borosilicate glass.  This is the same type of glass used in laboratory applications.  They are typically heat resistant to 675 degrees.

These popcorn poppers provide you a great way to quickly and easily make healthy popcorn at a moment’s notice.  Forget about those messy disposable popcorn bags, and keep trash out of the landfills.  You get to choose your favorite brand of popcorn kernels too.

Using a glass microwave popcorn popper is easy, and no oil is required.  Simply complete the following steps:

• Fill the bottom of the popper with one layer of kernels (approximately 1.5 oz).
• If you want buttery popcorn, then add the desired amount of butter to the lid.
• Place the lid on the popcorn popper.
• Place it in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds.  (Note that this time may vary depending upon the wattage of your microwave.)
• When the popping slows to just one pop every one or two seconds, you should stop the microwave to avoid burning the popcorn.

After you have been through this process a few times, you will know exactly how much time your microwave requires to pop the perfect popcorn.

It takes a little bit longer to cook popcorn in a glass popcorn popper than it does in the disposable popcorn bags.  But the bottom line is that you can make healthier and better tasting popcorn this way.  Best of all, you can save money.  By purchasing the bags of popcorn kernels, you can save approximately 80% of the cost of microwave popcorn bags.  Popcorn can now be an inexpensive treat again!
