By Movie Girl | Glass , Popcorn Makers

Nothing says modern kitchen convenience like a microwave. Still, pre-packaged microwave popcorns contain a lot of strange chemical ingredients and artificial flavors, which makes home popped popcorn very attractive.

Many of us are also short on counter space. If only there was a way to make home-made popcorn without having to find a spot for another appliance. The answer is a microwave popcorn popper. We have reviewed plastic microwave popcorn poppers, but this review is about glass microwave popcorn poppers.

The Catamount Glassware 1 quart microwave popcorn popper is a personal popper. It only uses about ¼ cup of popcorn and makes small batches.

There have been some reviewer complaints about burning or unpopped kernels. Like all microwave popcorns you have to experiment with the temperature and time. If burning is an issue lower the temp or time. If unpopped kernels is an issue raise the temperature or time.

If your microwave has a popcorn setting, you should get good results with this popper if you use that setting. This is a cool little glass popcorn maker with a silicone lid. Made by a good company.
