Nordic Popcorn Genius

Nordic Ware Microwave Corn PopperGreat news! Here's a kitchen gadget everyone can afford. Your popcorn just got way more awesome.

The Nordic Ware Microwave Corn Popper comes highly recommended by my very practical friend Shannon, who reports that it's really fast, doesn't need oil, and is a snap to clean. Sounds good to me!

This thing is $8.99 from The Kitchen Store, and microwave and dishwasher safe. You just put in the corn, put it in the microwave, and perfect, fluffy popcorn comes out. It's a stroke of Nordic genius.

I only wish it were pretty, so I could pass it off as a holiday gift. Guess I'll just have to get one for myself!

Sure, the popper is kind of ugly, but paired with all you need to actually make the popcorn, it's a great gift!

One day my grandfather came over and brought me one of these things. Well it certainly wasn't microwave popcorn in a bag, so I was HIGHLY disappointed.
