Pampered Chef Family-Size Microwave Popcorn Maker

I absolutely love the corn popper. It makes great popcorn.

Unfortunately, I disagree with the first comment left about the amount of popcorn, and how it's easy to clean. First - It's WAY overpriced - It's Pampered Chef, and frankly, they shouldn't be selling this hunk'a junk. Second - You have to use at least 2 tbs of butter IN the bucket - PLUS 2 tbs of butter IN the cap. Third - As with any microwave - power is different among ALL of them - Ours is pretty powerful - IF we went 3:30 minutes, like instructed, we got about half the popcorn - AND it's burnt. The problem with butter - it has a very low burn temp - and so - it burns before it has the opportunity to pop the popcorn. Fourth - Easy to clean? NO - It isn't easy to clean. it's flim flam flimsy - The lid is difficult put on it. You really have to to just work with it. Fifth - The container gets REALLY, REALLY hot - You need to put it on a paper plate - You ALSO have to be extremely careful when opening the lid - you WILL burn yourself IF you aren't careful. My wife purchased the regular size one - I have to admit, AFTER making the popcorn the second time, it WAS good - however, it was still burnt and my wife wasn't to keen on eating burnt popcorn. I made popcorn in a deep pan using butter - and realized, butter is NOT the oil to use, period. it burns too quickly before getting hot enough to pop the corn. I used Avocado Oil and it worked out GREAT on the stove. :) Anyhoos - use your own judgement on this junk'a hunk! NOT to mention - there are WAY cheaper silicone poppers that I am SURE will ALL do the same thing - It boils down to deciding to pay the way over inflated Pampered Chef prices OR just buy yourself a silicone popcorn microwave popper.

Love this!!!!

Its easy to use and to clean, but super disappointed in the amount of popcorn it makes. Pictures show a full bowl, we only got abour 2-3 inches up the bowl side of popped corn. This was only the first time, however. Will try again before deciding if we should keep it or not for the $40!

So not worth it!! It does not taste great. I have to wash it and it is very expensive! I am thrifty but the math on this does not save you money until bag 410. Washing it and a so so taste makes it such a fail! I hate it! I might appreciate it if it were $10 but $60 just makes me resent it excits in my cupboard.

My only disappointment is that my dear sister apparently does not know me well enough to have bought me the family size.

Did not pop the popcorn well.

I have had a presto pop for probably 20 years and it works perfectly popping almost every kernel. I bought the pampered chef version from someone having a party and was very excited about it being silicone and folding. I have popped 3 batches and they have burned EVERY time and there was still half of the kernels left in the bottom. Don't waste $40 on this piece of junk. Get a presto pop.
