Product Usage Instructions

READ WARNINGS and all instructions before first use!

1. Fill the lid to the fill line for 1/2 bowl of popcorn. If you want a full bowl of popcorn, use 2 full measures of the lid.
2. Pour the popcorn kernels into the bottom of the popper.
3. Place the lid on top of the popper.
4. Optional – Add desired amount of butter to the perforated lid and set it on top of the popper to allow the butter to melt on top of the popcorn.
5. Place the popper in the microwave.
6. Follow your microwave’s instructions for cooking popcorn.
7. If no popping occurs within 2 minutes, turn off the microwave and inspect the glass for chips or cracks. Do not use if chipped or cracked.
8. When the popping is complete, use an oven mitt to remove the hot popper from the microwave. Hold it away from your face and body.

Tips for Getting Your Popcorn Just Right:

• Always use fresh popcorn kernels stored in an airtight container. Refrigeration is not recommended.
• Be aware that microwave ovens can vary, so adjust cooking times accordingly.
• If adding butter before popping results in burnt popcorn, try adding the butter after the kernels have popped. Melt the butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl and pour it over the popcorn using an oven mitt.
• Avoid stopping and starting the microwave during the cooking cycle, as it can prevent unpopped kernels from popping and may burn already popped popcorn. Use the sound test to determine if your popcorn is done.

HOW MICROWAVES WORK
Microwave ovens heat by producing electromagnetic waves that cause water molecules in food to vibrate. This vibration produces heat. Microwaves do not “see” glass or plastic. Never place the popper in the microwave oven empty. Damage to your oven can occur.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read before use
It is very important to use fresh kernels that have not dried out and to store them in an airtight container to maintain their moisture. Popcorn kernels do not last indefinitely. Do not refrigerate kernels as this can dry them out. Do not use kernels past the manufacturer’s expiration date.

• WARNING! Dried-out kernels can cause damage to your microwave and in extreme cases, even cause fires. Based on our kitchen-tested time of 2½ minutes (without butter), average for most microwaves, popping should begin in 60-90 seconds. Understand your microwave by running a few tests with fresh kernels to establish the amount of time your microwave needs to pop the kernels optimally. Pay attention to the amount of time it takes for kernels to begin to pop. Use this as a guideline for future uses to avoid burning. IF KERNELS HAVE NOT STARTED TO POP WITHIN 2 MINUTES STOP THE OVEN, DISCARD THE KERNELS AND OBTAIN NEW, FRESH KERNELS.
• WARNING: Never microwave an empty popcorn popper. Damage to your microwave oven may result.
• WARNING: Never leave microwave unattended while in use.
• WARNING: If no popping occurs within 2 minutes, turn OFF microwave.
• WARNING: Always use an oven mitt when removing popper from the microwave.
• WARNING: Hold hot popper away from your face and body.
• WARNING: Do not bump glass microwave popper; glass is fragile and can break.
• WARNING: Never attempt to remove the glass bowl from the plastic holder; they are not intended to separate.
• WARNING: Always inspect glass for chips or cracks; do not use if chipped or cracked.

Getting your popcorn

TIPS to getting your popcorn just right
Not yielding perfect popcorn? Although our instructions are kitchen-tested, microwave ovens can greatly vary.

1. Always use fresh popcorn kernels. Store your popcorn in an airtight container. Refrigeration is not recommended.
2. Not all microwaves are created equal. Microwaves will vary in wattage, and though many microwaves will pop your kernels just fine, there’s always the few that want to be stubborn. If your precious popcorn is getting burnt when adding butter before popping, try adding the butter after all those kernels have transformed into beautiful puffed popcorn. Use a small, microwave-safe bowl to melt the butter and then use an oven mitt to pour it over your popcorn.
3. Stopping and starting your microwave during the cooking cycle is not recommended. Once you stop the microwave, the steam buildup in the center of the kernel, which causes the popcorn to pop, will cool off and never reach the desired temperature to re-pop. If you restart the microwave you also risk burning the already popped popcorn. Using the sound test is the best way to determine if your popcorn is done. If there are more than two full seconds between pops, it’s time to stop.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

READ WARNINGS and all instructions before first use!

• Fill lid to fill line for 1/2 bowl popcorn. Using 2 full measures of the lid will provide a full bowl of popcorn.
• Pour the kernels into the bottom of the popper, place the lid on top of the popper. Optional – Add desired amount of butter to perforated lid and set on top of popper to allow butter to melt on top of popcorn.
• Not all microwaves work the same, so play with the timing until you get it just right. Try setting the microwave between 2:30-3:00 minutes and listen to the pops. Do not use popcorn button or setting on your microwave. It may take a while for things to get poppin’. Be patient and do not leave microwave unattended. Experiment a little – your microwave may cook the popcorn faster or slower than the 2:30-3:00 average! When the popping slows down to about 2 seconds apart, stop the microwave to prevent burning. If no popping occurs within 2 minutes, turn OFF microwave. Do not stop the microwave and start it again during the same batch.
