MIcrowave Popcorn Poppers - Liz...was QOTW....

[Guest guest]

Liz,

How well does your Presto microwave popper work? And

where did you get it?

My family loves popcorn and we have been using

microwave popcorn in bags. I have been reading so

many bad things about them lately....the bags creating

carcinogens and the butter flavoring causing lung

disease (and even death) in the factory workers. I

don't want to use them anymore.

TIA,

Susie

Susie,

 

I got mine through Amazon. It is made of plastic and

I've also read about how bad it is to microwave

plastic. There's a special cardboard insert that fits

in the bottom of the bowl, but it's reusable.

 

I read somewhere, on some message board, that you can

just use a plain brown paper lunch bag in the

microwave. I don't know how much popcorn you'd put in

or how well it works. I keep forgetting to buy paper

bags and I really want to try that.
