Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 04830 PowerPop Microwave Multi-Popper
Customer Review: Fabulous Corn Popper!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to use the Nordic Ware 12-Cup Microwaver Corn Popper. I thought that I was happy with it - unil I received my Presto multi-popper. I pop popcorn frequently; I've used this product several times since I received it about a week ago. The popcorn tastes great and nearly every kernal pops. The seasons even seem to 'stick' to the popcorn better mmmmm.... flavor!
This suits me because I eat popcorn for a light, high fiber 'gourmet' snack that I can try with different oils and seasoning. I like popping it myself better than bagged because I can use Splenda to make kettle corn flavored popcorn and a medium amount of oil rather than either extreme. If I save money too, this is an added bonus. That said, I checked eBay prices before buying the popper and found that I can buy concentrators by the case really cheap, so it's no biggie for me. As an added benefit, my Presto popper cooks popcorn in 1 minute less than my Nordic.
If you're looking for -quality- popcorn and don't mind replacing the concentrators when they turn brown (after 2 to 4 batches), then go with this one. If you hate the idea of replacing the paper concentrators, then go with the Nordic Ware container (available also at Target and Wal-Mart stores). I think I'd only go back to the Nordic if I ran out of the concentrators, but otherwise I personally have no use for my Nordic anymore.
Some reviewers reported microwave problems. The paper concentrators do have technology of some sort in them, so press them fully in place before microwaving and replace them whenever they look brown. Mine is buried under popcorn oil and 1/3 cup of kernals. I have a 1000 watt microwave with a turntable. I'm currently using a new bag of yellow popcorn. I heat it for 2 min and 30 sec on high (as compared to 3 minutes 40 sec with the Nordic). I'm also careful about removing any traces of oil as the instructions advise. I'm guessing this has to do with the way it heats. I haven't had any problems; in fact I get -perfect- popcorn each time. I'm not sure what was different for those who had problems.
As advice, keep in mind that this popper is different in how it uses heat. As the directions say, when the popping slows down to 3 seconds between pops - stop! Kernals continue to pop after the microwave stops, don't wait until the popcorn stops popping. Don't use the microwave setting for popcorn. It does hold heat, so sometimes I'll dump the kernals into another bowl to release the heat and stop the cooking process. If I want the popcorn to stay warm longer, I'll leave it there until I'm ready to eat. This is really an impressive piece of technology.
Description of Presto 04830 PowerPop Microwave Multi-Popper
Endorsed and signed by Orville Redenbacher! Pops with or without oil for delicious popcorn just the way you like it! Concentrates microwaves for virtually every kernel pops. Just pop it in your microwave for hot, fresh popcorn. Add salt or other seasonings before you pop for easy, even distribution. Clean-up is easy too - everything is fully submersible and dishwasher safe with base removed.Sized to fit most microwave ovens, including compacts, this popcorn maker pops virtually every kernel of 3 quarts of popcorn in about 2-1/2 minutes. And it works with or without oil and/or salt. That means no more of the unpopped, scorched kernels typically left behind when popping bagged corn.
The popcorn maker uses two innovations that concentrate microwave radiation onto the popcorn. First is a removable base that locks onto the transparent bowl. Second is a disposable paper cup that fits into the bowl's bottom. A package of eight cups accompanies the unit, and others can be purchased separately--each is good for about 12 batches when used with oil or 24 without oil. Both bowl and lid are dishwasher-safe. The popcorn maker is 9-3/4 inches in diameter and 6 inches high and carries a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
