Amazon.com Review
Made of gemstone, an unbreakable, chip-proof cookware material, the Nordic Ware corn popper efficiently transmits microwave energy directly to the popcorn kernels, popping them quickly without oil. It produces the results of a hot-air popper without an additional appliance. This oil-free method is refreshing when compared to bagged corn, because you don't have to contend with grease, salt, and artificial flavoring unless you dress the corn yourself after cooking. However, take care to monitor the progress of corn during the first use. The manufacturer lists a three-to-five-minute cook time for 1/2 cup of unpopped kernels, but as microwave ovens vary, it could take considerably less time to pop. And overcooked corn burns fast using this method. Luckily, the base and lid are designed not to warp or melt, so burned kernels won't damage them. Use this versatile popper for cooking, storing, and serving popcorn and other snacks. The popper base is also ovenproof. --Carol Gnojewski

 Like it a lot November 19, 2008
I got this popper because of the nasty stuff that is inside of microwave popcorn bags, fluorooctanoic acid, a resistant coating that releases onto the popcorn when the bag is heated and is then absorbed into the bloodstream. The chemical appears to be carcinogenic in lab animals. The FDA is now "studying the effects of the chemical in greater detail" (wasting a few more thousand lab animals I'm assuming).
Anyway, this popper is great. Ditto what everyone has said about the burning, you have to experiment. I think it works best with 1/4 to 1/3 cup of popcorn, no more. It's fast, kernels pop up fluffy. You can't beat the price.
 love it!!! November 19, 2008
This popcorn bowl is awesome. I never thought it would so good. I never put the bowl in the dishwasher even though it says you can. Dishwashers have a way of ruining plastic in the end. Throw those awful air poppers out and get one! We have had ours for 5 months and use it every day. My husband wants to get a second one. He is afraid our one bowl will suffer a terrible fate some day like getting dropped by one of the kids and breaking. The thought of not having a back up puts him in state of popcorn withdrawl just thinking about it.
If you like popcorn, it's a "must have" November 11, 2008
My Nordic Ware popper is over 10 years old and works as good as the day I bought it. My Sharp microwave has a "popcorn" setting which works perfectly with the Nordic Ware popper. I use 1/2 cup popcorn, and enough canola or vegetable oil to cover. When the popcorn is done popping the popcorn actually lifts the lid just a bit! The bowl does get hot, so remove it from the micro onto a dish towel, sprinkle the popcorn with salt or your favorite seasoning and enjoy! Note: there are always a small amount of unpopped kernels, but at 99 cents for a huge bag of popcorn, I just throw them away. I'm ordering a few more of these poppers to give as gifts. Bundle it up with oil, seasoning salt, popcorn and a movie for a fun gift.
Microwave Air Popper October 30, 2008

After reading that the bagged popcorn for the microwave might have some toxic chemicals in the bag itself and something in the butter might not be good for you, I decided to try a microwave air popper...I love popcorn..this is fast and easy. I am so glad I bought it and feel healthier for eating popcorn made this way.
Nordic Ware Popper is Great Except for the Lid October 25, 2008
The Nordic Ware popper does a great job and it would get 5 stars except for the lid which is NOT microwave safe as suggested on the lid. After using the popper for several months (not more than once a week) the lid warped so that it wouldn't stay on. Corn kernels and and popped corn end up all over the inside of the microwave. I tried to flatten it while it was still hot by putting a weight on it, but it would warp again at the next use. Nordic Ware customer service said they never heard of this and sent me another lid, but it looks like the same lid. I'm expecting it to warp also in a few months. Has anyone else experienced this problem with their Nordic Ware popper?
