The Best Popcorn
Some time ago my dad gave me this used popcorn popper. I tried it once and kinda forgot about it. Then recently Heinz read this article in the New York Times about people at a popcorn plant getting sick from inhaling the chemicals used in the butter flavoring. (The danger is inhaling the chemicals as the popcorn pops, not actually eating the flavoring.) So Heinz made me throw away my microwave popcorn. I hesitantly got this popper out and realized how easy it is to use. It doesn't need oil or anything. You just pour in up to half a cup of kernals and plug it in. That's it. And the popcorn is tender and fluffy and tastes so much better than any from the microwave. The popper is cheap on Amazon and it has great reviews. I highly recommend getting one.

Does it have a try on top that melts butter? My parents used to have one like that.
Justin is a bit of a popcorn connoisseur. He prefers to make it on the stovetop, so we don't have microwave too often.
Yeah, it has a tray to melt butter. I don't use it for that; you can also use it measure out your popcorn kernals.
I had no idea Justin was such a gourmet! Does he buy a special kind?
We have one and use it almost daily. It is super easy and a much healthier alternative to the microwave popcorn we were eating that had something like 11g of fat per serving.
I love my new popcorn popper, thanks so much Leah!!!
