desertcart.com: The Original HotPop Silicone Popcorn Maker - Microwave Popcorn Popper - Collapsible Bowl, Heat-Resistant, Easy to Clean, Ideal for Family Movie Nights, 15-Cup Capacity - Cherry

Review: Best and least expensive popcorn maker - I've got three popcorn makers in our cupboard, this purchase makes four. Not only is this product the easiest to use, but I've found that it makes the best popcorn I've ever had. I've got a 1000W microwave, and though the instructions suggest the use of the Popcorn setting, I've opted to instead use a standard timed cook with a power setting of 9. Add the corn, a tsp of oil, and the result has consistently been light and fluffy. No burning, no scorching, inexpensive and easy to clean; I wish I would have started with this product. Nothing but high marks.
Review: You need this in your life if you have basic common sense - I was surprised to really love this. It works perfectly, collapses down to a size that can be tucked away in my tiny kitchen, and it has me both eating more popcorn and experimenting with creating popcorn flavors. I use the 365 organic yellow popcorn kernels (that exact name — NOT the heirloom one, which has bad reviews). 1 Tbsp of kernels yields a little less than 2C popcorn. METHOD I expand the popcorn maker, add 2T-3T of dry kernels, put the lid on, and microwave for around 2:50 minutes (should not take more than 3:00 minutes… I usually just hit 3 and stop it when there are longer pauses between pops and it smells done). It comes out perfectly, and there are typically 5 or less unpopped/underpopped kernels in the batch. I like to prepare my seasoning separately ahead of time (melted butter and spices) so it’s ready to go when the popcorn is hot, then dump everything together in a larger mixing bowl and toss. This means the popper stays dry… by not mixing toppings in the popper, I can ensure it’s super easy to clean/keep clean and I avoid discoloring, degrading, or damaging the silicone material by not letting it come into contact with oils or spices. Mistakes I believe some angry reviewers were making: - ALWAYS make sure you’ve placed it on your microwave turntable platter in a way that the popper can rotate (and DO NOT walk away until you observe it rotating), otherwise there will be dangerously concentrated hot spots and it will be a fire hazard… this is not a fault of the product, but rather the physics of how microwaves work and that dry popcorn is dry (like tinder). If any part of the popper is touching the door or one of the walls of the microwave, it will likely get stuck and not be able to rotate with the turntable platter. - Not using the lid. You need the lid so it can trap heat and steam and finish popping your kernels. Microwaves heat super unevenly, the lid (and empty space under the popper) help trap heat so the kernels can receive much more uniform heat than they would get if you did something like put kernels on a plate. The lid also helps keep kernels in the popper. - Cooking too much popcorn at once. I don’t think this can handle more than 4Tbsp (1/4C) of kernels, but 2-3 Tbsp is my go-to . And let’s be honest — popcorn is best when it’s hot, and it will only take you 5 seconds to throw in a second batch when the first one comes out. - Having weird settings on their microwave / not paying attention to popping sounds. If your microwave is set to low power or not functioning properly, your cook time and experience is likely to be wacky. So if it’s not cooking within 3 minutes, consider turning up the power on your microwave (find instructions online for your model if you can’t figure it out). If it’s looking or smelling burnt before 2:50, listen to the pops and figure out the sweet spot when you start hearing 5 seconds or so between pops (in all my years of microwaving popcorn, the average range for microwave popcorn doneness seems to be 2:35-2:50 depending on the microwave). If there are a lot of unpopped kernels, that likely is some combination of your cook time and your microwave’s power settings. This is a really great product, but as with anything in life, your mileage may only go so far as your critical thinking skills…

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used without oil or is the oil required for use?**
A: From what I've learned, from personal experience: 
Oil is OK if you fill it to the first line (about 3TBS of kernels)
BUT
Oil can be a problem at 6TBS of kernels (the second line) and had a bit of a smoke issue with it and a mass of burnt to smoldering popcorn in the center.

Conclusion: Oil if you let kernels room to expand and move around aka first fill line. BUT and this is a big one BUT you need to be on top of things and glued to the microwave to listen for popping and slowing down since it can sometimes mess with cook times and it seems super inconsistent. For me, I do about 4.5 Minutes (my microwave is weird and came with the house, was fancy at one point but at 15yrs old, is showing its age) for 3TBS and 5.5 for 6TBS, and oil can sometimes speed it up or slow it down, since the oil is acting as an insulator. So in winter (like we are now) my oil is colder, but in summer, it's room temperature thus needs less time to warm up. Hoped that helped.

**Q: I know the bowl is silicon, but what is the lid made of? Plastic? Or silicon?**
A: The lid is made of silicone.

**Q: How much popcorn after it pops?**
A: It pops around 1/3 of a cup, which is around 5.3 Tablespoons.  For comparison, a large/standard bag of microwave popcorn is around 4 Tablespoons.  The Hotpop leaves far fewer unpopped kernels than the bagged stuff, though, so the volume of cooked popcorn is probably quite a bit greater than the raw difference would indicate.  Two batches in the Hotpop should be roughly equal to three large microwaveable bags.

**Q: where is it made?**
A: China per label on plastic wrapper item came inside of.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great popped popcorn!
*by B***M on January 2, 2026*

Love this popper. So much better and easier than the air poppers and doing it on the stove. Every popping session is a hit. No unpopped kernels and no oil. Easy cleanup too. I read that some other poppers have flimsy construction. Maybe so, but this one is just fine. And it stores super compact. Highly recommend.
