    In 1986, I used to work in an electronics store, back then microwaves were really getting popular. There was an entire line of Rubbermaid microwave dishes including the popcorn popper. I used it for years, it moved three states with me. Of course, I was not always using it-opting instead for the higher fat version. Anyway, I really started using it again last year, and it finally died on me. I thought I was sunk and then too, I found the Nordic Ware version in Target. As you stated it is cheap, works great, and you save both money and calories.

    Awesome! I love it!!! And I love popcorn and this will let me eat more and not feel guilty about so much salt and fat in the prepackaged stuff!!! What do you put on yours?

    Just be careful with the presto one... you have to use these filter things in them... with the one I got, you don't need a filter or anything, just put the kernels right in the bowl and bam, hot air popcorn in like 2-4 minutes!!! :)

    Awesome, thanks for that tip, I went to Target last night and they were out of them... I'll have to try Kohl's tonight... I want another one to keep at home (the first one's staying at work!).

    Is it tough like air-popped? Also, in the reviews they complain that it gets really hot. (which kinda makes sense, since your COOKING IN IT!) but just curious!

    Nope, my popcorn was actually pretty light and fluffy... very comparable to prepackaged microwave stuff... And it does get warm, but not too hot to hold. I just grabbed it by the sides when it was done. It retains the heat some though so it keeps the popcorn warm, which is nice, but not too hot. Hope that helps! :)

    I have one but have not used it yet. Now I won't be able to eat popcorn for at least 6 weeks - having my wisdom teeth removed.
