I love this idea but had issues getting the bowl to pop open correctly. After you pop the bag in the microwave you tear it sideways for the bowl to pop up, it took forever to get it right. If they just improve on the ease of tearing it open I would love it even more. I also wish the flavor was saltier. It's fun to just pop and carry into the livingroom then throw it out when your done.
My family loves this popcorn. Its' so tasty with just the right amount of salt and butter. A nice change from chips.
I just love this product. When we buy popcorn I only ever buy the pop up bowl now .. it is saving my bowls from grease stains which is wonderful! It pops well, and is delicious.
It`s Orville Redenbacher`s so that is one point in its favour at the get go. I popped one in a 1200 watt microwave for 2:30 and I did have some burned so it takes a few tries to get the timing right. In the end 2:15 seconds on my 1200 watts was the magic number.
The next challenge was opening the "bowl" it takes a bit of practice to get the top off in one shot (2 bags for me) but it really is quite easy. It is very very hot just like the warning on the bag tell you so READ THE BAG. Once you master the bowl you will enjoy the same wonderful flavour we know and love. The only downside is that we get less popcorn than before. So you must decide if the additional cost is worth it. I have found that this item is usually on sale at one or more stores which is always nice. I had a friend tell me they have been cutting the sides of the bags for years and use the bag as a bowl.
Personally I like to add parmesaen and cheddar cheese to mine and eat it with a spoon. If I want a fast no muss no fuss bag of fresh popcorn then this is the way to go. I always have a box on hand just for my snack attacks and no clean up.
