i have seen that Nordic also makes a microwave popcorn cooker. Has anyone tried using this rice cooker for popcorn?

I have not tried to use it in this manner. Nordic makes a microwave popcorn popper that I have used and like.

I have not tried pop corn yet..... I didn't like the rice cooking.... The time for cooking rice (white or brown) was not even close.

NO! Just bought the Presto Air popper and Snappy White Popcorn(GMO free) and more kernals flew out of the popper than popped. I came back to Amazon to see if I could find out what works with the Popper as it had really good reviews...Can anyone answer this...looking for (GMO free) popcorn.

I have two Nordic microwave tender cookers 2.5 qt. I use mine everyday and have for years I have never had any problems at all with them, as for the gasket being oversized, when it cools down it goes back to the noromal size, it is not a serious problem and doesn't happen often. I think Nordic Ware is a very good cooking product and I am sure there is no danger, I have used my products enough years and have never encountered a problem. H. Heaver

I read some reviews on your popcorn popper.... one person said they use coconut oil and it made the lid hard to clean and eventually warped it, so I would not put this in your popcorn popper. also, it makes a lot of popcorn and would probably be too much for you popper. this popcorn is great.... you could try a pot on the stove, but still it is a lot of popcorn. Maybe try to find a 2 oz packet premixed. I always recommend when using this to pour out some salt so it wont come out too salty. Great thing is the coconut oil is healthy! for your popper I read that someone uses very little olive oil and then adds salt and black pepper.... that sounded good. Good luck!

I never got the rice to come out right it always tasted like it was not cooked. I just looked up on the internet how to cook in the microwave. Hope yours turned out better than mind.

Honestly, we've only tried Shop Rite brand popcorn in ours....It works just fine with our popper and is relatively inexpensive...We bought another one for a family member as a Christmas gift and the love theirs as well using Orville Redenbacher popping corn. The key is to not overload the unit...we use about 1/4 cup at a time and you have to adjust the cooking time for your microwave...enjoy if you decide to purchase one.

I had not used the rice cooker yet so I tried it last night. I put in 2 cups rice and 3 cups water, hit the rice cook button and machine set itself for six minutes. I let it do it's thing. With the pressure cooker, timer starts once temp is reached. Rice cooker timer never started. In an hour I had 1 big solid hockey rice puck. Not recommended for rice. I love the pressure cooker. The slow cook is not near as good as a crock pot

I have not tried it, though I think microwaveable or minute rice would probably work. I'm not sure about other rice

Hi! Had the same problem, but I use the recipes from the rice package/container. For most of the rice, I use a little less water than the recipe states, but about the same amount of rice. Also, as a side note, about five years ago, I read somewhere that adding a small amount of olive oil to the rice helps separate the kernels. It works beautifully in the rice cooker since the rice does not stick to the pan in the cooker. I use about a tablespoon to two tablespoons of oil. Some people add butter, but nutritionally, the olive oil is better for you. If the rice is yellow or white, I use the white setting on the cooker. If the rice is brown or black, I use the brown setting. Hope this helps...gws Hi! Had the same problem, but I use the recipes from the rice package/container.

Are there ANY rice cookers that are ceramic and don't have an issue with leeching metal or some other harmful substance into our bodies? :/

As far as I know, no one makes microwave popcorn that uses coconut oil. Even so, why on earth would you want to eat the stuff anyway? You aren't going to get anything close to the taste and aroma of movie theater popcorn from a bag of microwave popcorn. Buy yourself a good stainless steel stove top popper (such as the Lindy's 6-quart stainless steel popper sold here on Amazon), the Paragon coconut popping oil, Flavacol popcorn salt, and some good quality popcorn kernels and make it yourself.

The Primalfat Coconut Ghee doesn't taste like coconut oil. It is more of a butter taste. I don't see why you couldn't use it in a rice cooker. I use thePFC mainly to season vegetable after I have steamed them. We use straight coconut oil instead of butter on toast. It has health benefits. I buy NutivaOrganic Coconut Oil. It is solid at room temperature.

I do not cook popcorn in a bowl, in the microwave. However, if it is a microwave safe bowl then probably OK. I would check it out with the manufacturer of the product. I hoped this helped you. We do love the bowls, first set lasted 20 years. We gave them away to a person of need, only because of many scratch marks within the bowls...Luv em.

I HIGHLY recommend a rice cooker for rice. I've not used this particular appliance, but own a rice cooker and it is so much easier, better, and more consistent than cooking it on the stove. Set it and forget it!

I am sorry Dennis, I have not used the rice cooker yet. Slow cooker and pressure cooker are tops!

I found answer to this on the Nordic Ware site. However, I am not impressed with this item. I get better results with a large corning casserole. This is not made well either. Mine broke at the handle after one use. Still usable but unimpressive results. I tossed after 6 unremarkable batches of rice.
