I would contact the manufacturer of this product to ask them. I wouldn't try without knowing for sure. I use this bowl all the time and have one in my office as well.

If you want to put just regular kernels in there i suppose that would work. If you plan on putting a bag of microwavable popcorn into the bowl then absolutely not.

I have not tried using it for popcorn. I bought it to cook rice in the mircowave and I love it!

Yes, I put them in the microwave all the time. They are the best bowls ever. They are a great size for cereal, soup, whatever. Classic kitchen staple! GET THEM!

Absolutely! Put 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons in a paper bag o an Air Popper and set microwave to "high" for 3 minutes. The time may need adjusting, depending on your microwave power. I do not use oil, butter or anything else during the popping. After popping, I sometimes spray the non-calorie butter on the popped corn. Delicious. Eat it most days.

I have just used both the bagged popcorn as well as the popcorn in plastic containers and have had no problems with either kind popping.

I've never tried them in them in the microwave. I would imagine they'd be fine though.

In our experience, not really. You might get away with trying to add the salt just as the popped corn leaves the popper to drop in the bowl since there may be a very slight bit of moisture present from the popping process (moisture escaping as the kernel pops) but, it is unlikely. We use an air popper, as well but, we always add some butter mixed with olive oil. Not so much for the salt, we just like the flavor. Responder " Franklin" makes a good point, though; the salt is very finely ground and could easily get lodged in nooks & crannies of a popped kernel. We just prefer more salt flavor than what we got without using a some oil. In our experience, not really.

You have to be careful with microwaving them....if its the microwave is too high or you put it in for a few moments to long they will bust....but I do like the product....just have to be careful

I have not tried putting this in the microwave. Sorry I couldn't help you with an answer to this question.

Good question. I wouldn't use them in the microwave as I don't with any plastics. So, my vote is no.

I would suppose so. I would towel them off real quick though as you don't want to get a whole lot of water in your air popper chamber. This popcorn also pops real fast by the way.

Yes, though more slowly at first (& moderately once popping starts). Another thing we've discovered is to let the oil heat up for a couple of minutes before putting the popcorn in; it definitely pops faster that way.

Not to my knowledge. I often pop Ladyfinger popcorn (I like hulless corn) and it is about half the size of regular corn. I will say that larger kernels pop very large and fluffy but that is as much a function of variety. I have never tried 'rice popcorn' I'll have to give it a look. I don't use salt during the pop as that can make the kernels smaller and more tough. I pour in my corn, mix the oil with the popcorn with a fork to make sure each kernel is coated, then pop for a little under 2 minutes. I get nice, crunchy corn and I toss on the salt as soon as it leaves the microwave. VERY nice. But I have never seen any restriction on kernel size.

There is metal in this product so you would not be able to use it in microwave.

i've popped large & small kernals and it popped both equally as good . might depend on the power of your microwave . jay

You can, but it will have popcorn residue from the bottom of the kettle. Why not just use popcorn kits that come with everything you need in one package? They can be purchased at Smart & Final, if this store is in your area; popcorn bags too.

You cook these in the microwave. Different microwaves have different power levels so you will need to experiment to find the right amount of time to get them just right. In my microwave, I cook them for 1 minute 35 seconds. Most of them "pop out" and are tender and delicious. This is my families favorite treat and has replaced popcorn and chips. They are best served warm and still crackling.
