Using a Popco bowl is simple: pour popcorn kernels into the bowl, add oil, salt, and desired flavorings, and microwave.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Steps for Using a Popco Bowl
-
Pour in Kernels: Add the desired amount of popcorn kernels to the Popco bowl. Follow the bowl's instructions for maximum capacity to avoid overflow.
-
Add Oil (Optional): While some prefer to pop popcorn dry, adding a teaspoon or two of oil (such as coconut oil, vegetable oil, or olive oil) can enhance the flavor and help with even popping.
-
Add Salt and Flavorings: Sprinkle salt, butter-flavored salt, or any other preferred seasonings over the kernels. Experiment with different spices for unique flavors!
-
Microwave: Place the Popco bowl in the microwave. Microwave on high power for 2-4 minutes, or until the popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops. Important: Microwave times vary. Stay near the microwave to monitor the popping.
-
Carefully Remove: Use oven mitts to carefully remove the hot bowl from the microwave.
-
Enjoy! Let the popcorn cool slightly before enjoying.
Tips for Perfect Popcorn
- Don't Overfill: Overfilling the bowl can lead to uneven popping and unpopped kernels.
- Listen Carefully: Pay attention to the sound of the popping. When it slows down, stop the microwave to avoid burning the popcorn.
- Adjust Timing: Microwave times vary based on your microwave's power. Adjust the time accordingly for future batches. Start with shorter times and increase as needed.
- Clean-Up: The Popco bowl is typically dishwasher safe. Check the manufacturer's instructions for specific cleaning recommendations.
Popco bowls are designed for even heat distribution, resulting in fluffy, delicious popcorn with fewer unpopped kernels. Follow these simple steps, and you'll be enjoying a tasty snack in minutes!
