Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a great product. I don't like microwave popcorn (too greasy), a bag of good popped popcorn is quite expensive, and hauling out my West Bend Stir Crazy is too much work and too much cleaning. Following the instructions, I measure out a quarter cup of kernels, and based on a suggestion from other reviewers, I stir in a teaspoon of peanut oil, put it in the microwave. I have experimented and on our microwave the "popcorn" setting works just fine - the kernels do not burn and there are just a few unpopped kernels. Cleaning is easy - a soapy sponge does the trick. The popper is flexible silicone rubber and folds/compresses to 1/4 the height you see in the picture, so storing does not take a lot of space. I expect I will be buying these for several family members.
