Pampered Chef Family-Size Microwave Popcorn Maker

Unfortunately, I disagree with the first comment left about the amount of popcorn, and how it's easy to clean.First - It's WAY overpriced - It's Pampered Chef, and frankly, they shouldn't be selling this hunk'a junk.Second - You have to use at least 2 tbs of butter IN the bucket - PLUS 2 tbs of butter IN the cap.Third - As with any microwave - power is different among ALL of them - Ours is pretty powerful - IF we went 3:30 minutes, like instructed, we got about half the popcorn - AND it's burnt. The problem with butter - it has a very low burn temp - and so - it burns before it has the opportunity to pop the popcorn.Fourth - Easy to clean? NO - It isn't easy to clean. it's flim flam flimsy - The lid is difficult put on it. You really have to to just work with it.Fifth - The container gets REALLY, REALLY hot - You need to put it on a paper plate - You ALSO have to be extremely careful when opening the lid - you WILL burn yourself IF you aren't careful.My wife purchased the regular size one - I have to admit, AFTER making the popcorn the second time, it WAS good - however, it was still burnt and my wife wasn't to keen on eating burnt popcorn.I made popcorn in a deep pan using butter - and realized, butter is NOT the oil to use, period. it burns too quickly before getting hot enough to pop the corn. I used Avocado Oil and it worked out GREAT on the stove. :)Anyhoos - use your own judgement on this junk'a hunk!NOT to mention - there are WAY cheaper silicone poppers that I am SURE will ALL do the same thing - It boils down to deciding to pay the way over inflated Pampered Chef prices OR just buy yourself a silicone popcorn microwave popper.

I absolutely love the corn popper. It makes great popcorn.

Its easy to use and to clean, but super disappointed in the amount of popcorn it makes. Pictures show a full bowl, we only got abour 2-3 inches up the bowl side of popped corn. This was only the first time, however. Will try again before deciding if we should keep it or not for the $40!

Love this!!!!

Pampered chef dosnt sell on any other website beside their own ,this isn’t Pampered Chef selling it and they don’t charge $10 to shipIt and this item isn’t $53 on their website it is $36

I have had a presto pop for probably 20 years and it works perfectly popping almost every kernel. I bought the pampered chef version from someone having a party and was very excited about it being silicone and folding. I have popped 3 batches and they have burned EVERY time and there was still half of the kernels left in the bottom. Don't waste $40 on this piece of junk. Get a presto pop.

My only disappointment is that my dear sister apparently does not know me well enough to have bought me the family size.
