  • I'm waiting for the user report on the popcorn maker. I'm uncertain on how the butter melting doesn't leave you with a core of soft over buttered popcorn and the rest bone dry.

      • Okay, I tried it. I lined the bottom with popcorn kernels and put a quarter stick of butter on the top. Threw it in the microwave for about 3 and a half minutes total, I think.

        The butter was all melted before it started popping. So basically, it popped in a sea of butter. But it worked out just fine. Was not soggy at all and is very tasty.

        • Does the lid serve as the bowl?

          • No, the lid just held the butter as it melted...it's quite small. I used a large mixing bowl to serve the popcorn.

            The handle gets warm but still cool enough to handle, btw.

            • Most every kernel popped? *g*

              Easier, Better or cheaper than the MW bags?

              • Yep, nearly every kernel popped, none were burnt. I stopped microwaving when the time between pops slowed.

                I would not say better tasting than the bags as I've had some that are quite tasty. But the bags are not very healthy, both nutritionally and chemically. It turned out well and I was very satisfied with the taste, again using a quarter stick of butter with it...

                I think it will be cheaper in the long run, but there is the up front cost of purchasing the maker, so the ROI point is out there a ways.

                • Google chrome is amazing - for anyone that hasn't tried it do yourself a favor. It's FAST.

                    Yeah I've been using it for a year now. It just feels better.

                    You will run into a web page or two that it doesn't work with from time to time though.

                      • I gave it a test run, but still prefer firefox. Unless you're talking about Chrome OS, then I'd like to give that a test run :D

                        • Chrome is so much faster than either IE or FF.

                          • IU don't use chrome but I've noticed when using it to test weblogic servers that it is much faster than those two.
