Great 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!

I was given one of these the first year I moved out - the popper, a tin of kernels, gourmet salt & pepper, and a shaker of butter and I think one of cheese. Sure, the popper is kind of ugly, but paired with all you need to actually make the popcorn, it's a great gift!

I've had one of these for well over ten years. They're sold at Wal-Mart and Zellers in Canada; probably other places too.

Bad memories... As I young child when we got our first microwave, I desperately wanted microwave popcorn in the bag, but my mother would never buy it. 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.

Yeah. We had one of these guys when I was a kid. At least 20 years ago. No pre-bagged popcorn for us! Also helpful because I was butter-phobic as a kid/teen. I could just add salt and be good to go.

A used ice cream tub works like a charm, no butter, no oil. great popcorn. Salt to taste.

We had one of those when I was growing up, too! I didn't get used too much though after we found we liked stove-popped corn better.
