If you love popcorn, raise your hand! Popcorn is something our whole family eats a lot of. We blow through those jumbo double bags of Skinny Pop once a week. Over the years, we’ve collected different poppers like the Stir Crazy, a Plug-in air popper and even one of those big glass carnival kettle poppers. But more often than not, we have been just throwing in our favorite bagged microwave popcorn in the microwave and we were pretty content with that…UNTIL I got this awesome collapsible silicon microwave popcorn bowl! It’s made by Leuke and it’s pretty rad. A few things I love about it are:
- It folds down flat for storage.
- It is dishwasher safe.
- It gives me hot and fresh popcorn within a couple minutes.
- It doesn’t have all the weird chemicals and additives in it that popcorn bags have.
- It allows me to flavor and use the oil that I prefer to use. (coconut, canola, olive etc.)
- It’s pretty.
It’s ridiculously simple to use too. All you do is add about 1-2 teaspoons of your favorite oil, 1/3 cup of kernels, 1 teaspoon of salt (can you imagine smoked or flavored salt?) and throw it in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes and voila you have yummy, healthy and fast popcorn. It has this clever lid on it to keep it from spilling over as well. If you want to jazz it up with flavors, it’s also very easy to add in some sugar and salt and a little oil to the kernels and it comes out with that crispiness that kettle corn has. You can even throw in those store bought flavored powders on the kernels before popping.
All in all, this popper is a fabulous gift idea for pretty much anyone and especially for any popcorn lover. Head on over to Amazon and buy it for $19.99. Click here to buy it on Amazon.

Ok, I actually really liked this product for awhile. After washing it with soap, I smelled a hint of soap. I just brushed it aside, no biggie. Now, after I have severely burned some popcorn in it(ok, I forgot I had put it in the microwave and went outside, totally neglectful), I can’t get that burned popcorn smell out of it. I also need to get the burned popcorn smell out of my microwave too.
