I love making fresh non-microwaveable popcorn but always have trouble when popping it in a pot on the stove. It always ends up spilling over and I can never tell when it’s done. But with this gadget I was able to quickly and easily make the popcorn without burning it or not cooking it long enough. It comes with a convenient measuring tool so you know exactly how much kernels to put in and the top dome part doubles as the bowl for the finished popcorn. The directions made it easy to use and the popcorn tasted great. It is a bit bulky to clean and store away though but other than that it’s a great product.
