how long to cook popcorn or potato?

I use the popcorn setting and listen for when the popping slows (follow package directions). I usually stop the popping with 20-30 seconds left on the timer. This varies with brand of popcorn.

On a 3.2oz bag of POP SECRET hit the power button and turn the timer on to 1:40 seconds. If there is a popcorn setting I have not used it. We like ours not overcooked and listen to the kernels popping. This is the time that makes it just exactly perfect. Have not tried Baked potatoes yet.

I use about 2 tablespoons of oil and 1/3 cup of kernels. I set the microwave for 5 minutes and usually when I have about 2 minutes 30 seconds left the popping has slowed down to 1 - 2 seconds between pops and I stop it then. You will never get a 100% pop rate in any popping method. Not unless you want to burn your popcorn. The one time I had hard chewy popcorn was when I used some rather old kernels that were not properly stored.

If its the same as ours, the popcorn & oil are packaged together, and you use one set per batch. If not, the basic "recipe" is 2 tbsp. oil and 1/2 cup popcorn. Put salt on AFTER popping, whether or not you add melted butter. For some different great tastes, use flavored oils, or put some herbs in with the oil; try seasoned salt; a little curry powder; black pepper with your salt. Great stuff.

OK,pop the corn in this oil along with flavacol. Add one 1/2 cup of corn,5 tablespoons of red coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of flavacol. After that melt some clarified butter and pour it over the top (pour a little around then flip the popcorn,repeat to get even distribution). You can buy the clarified butter or make it (its the same thing as the stuff they use for lobster). If its not salty enough add a little more flavacol next time. I have people drool at the mouth with this recipe. Same thing as old school movie theater popcorn,if you want the new style then you will need fake butter and a different oil hybrid.

Idaho potatoes don't steam well at all because of their high starch content. I'd use red or true sweet potatoes. But for that type of potato I'd cut them into no less than 10 pieces. Steam for a minimum of 20 minutes using very little ventilation. (watch the steam water levels always) G

Slice food evenly and thinly. Salt if desired. Place on the mastrad but don't overlap. Cook in microwave. For potatoes or sweet potatoes 3 minutes, carrots or apple 3 1/2 minutes, pear 6 minutes, mango 6 1/2 minutes.

Here are the microwave directions: for a single serving, combine water, salt, and grits in medium microwave-safe bowl; cover. Microwave on high power for 3-5 minutes or until thickened (stirring halfway through cooking time).I prefer to cook on an induction burner for just about the same length of time, because it's easier to watch the pot to keep it from boiling over.

I use 2 tablespoons oil to 1/3 cup popcorn or 3 tablespoons oil to 1/2 cup popcorn

I baked up to 5 potatoes, they were perfect with great crispy skin. Bake at 350 for about an hour, check by squeezing to be sure they are done so they are fluffy inside be sure to fork them when you take them out so they don't get soggy. You can easily add extra time depending on the number of potatoes. Like all baking it is trial and experience

Depends on how full you make them, but around 15 to 20 min. Also cook 25 degrees less cause they're dark pans. If all else fails do the toothpick test. I've found that's always dependable. I hope that helps. Enjoy.

I have not tried that as yet and I am not quite sure how long it would take to cook it. I use a microwave steamer to cook corn on the cob. That method takes only five minutes and the corn is perfect and delicious. Each ear takes only half a teaspoon of water and there is no loss of flavor or food value as happens when corn is boiled in a pot.

You use the measuring spoons included. Two tablespoons of oil and 1/4 cup of popcorn. If your off a little bit it won't matter. Make sure the popper has warmed up before you add(5 minutes) but turn it off when you add the oil and popcorn.

My microwave works rather hot, but I just use the regular setting and put in two potatoes for about 7 minutes.

The hotter the water, the faster they will reconstitute. I usually add 1 cup potatoes to 1 cup cold water and microwave it for 2 minutes. The let stand for about 15 minutes. Drain and cook!

I agree with Maureen M's answer. We use ours a lot and really like it. Our microwave has a baked potato setting but I usually need to add a minute or 2 of time - depending upon the size and # of potatoes.

depending on size 1hr to 1.5 hrs. I baked three fairly large potatoes and they were done in 1.5 hrs at 350.
