Silicone Microwave Popcorn Popper (Blue)
Quick take
This silicone microwave popcorn popper is an air-popper style bowl that makes popcorn using hot air, with no oil required. It is best for people who want quick cleanup, easy storage thanks to its collapsible design, and consistent microwave popping for movie nights or small batches.
The main thing to watch is method: popcorn results depend on using the right kernel amount and giving any remaining kernels another short microwave round.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Hot-air popping, no oil required, designed for microwave use
- Food-grade silicone and BPA-free design
- Collapses for storage, with a compact footprint when folded
- Reusable and dishwasher safe for easier cleanup
- Large capacity of up to 15 cups of popped popcorn
Cons
- To get the last kernels to pop, you may need a second short microwave cycle
- Non-electric, manual microwave operation means you control timing and portioning
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is broadly positive for ease of use and cleanup. Multiple reviewers describe the popper as simple to fill and operate with a microwave popcorn function, and they report that cleanup is quick (including repeated everyday use). Several reviews also highlight that it does a good job popping kernels, with the typical workaround of running a second microwave cycle if any kernels remain unpopped. A smaller set of feedback points to minor cleaning around kernels left in place, but overall the recurring theme is that it works well for routine, home popcorn making.
How it works (and what “no oil” really means)
This is a silicone microwave air popper. You add popcorn kernels up to the measuring line, place the lid loosely on top, and microwave for a short interval. The bowl is designed to help distribute heat so the kernels pop, letting you skip oil entirely and season after popping to taste.
Key features that matter for everyday use
Silicone bowl, BPA-free materials
The bowl and lid are made from food-grade silicone intended for microwave use. It is labeled BPA-free, and the silicone construction is designed to distribute heat more evenly while keeping cleanup straightforward.
Collapsible for storage
When collapsed, the popper takes up less space. That makes it a practical option if your counter space is limited, or if you store kitchen items in a cabinet above other cookware.
Dishwasher safe cleanup
After use, the bowl can go into the dishwasher. If you prefer a low-effort routine, this is one of the biggest reasons people pick microwave poppers like this over stovetop or machine options.
Capacity and portion planning
The capacity is up to 15 cups of popped popcorn. That is useful if you want something closer to a shared bowl, while still being able to make smaller batches (since you fill up to the provided measuring line).
Pros and cons you should weigh before buying
Best for
- People who want microwave popcorn without adding oil
- Households that value fast cleanup and easy storage
- Movie nights, dorm rooms, RVs, and campers where a simple appliance is preferred
- Buyers who are comfortable doing quick timing adjustments and, if needed, a second microwave cycle
Consider alternatives if
- You want an electric machine that manages timing automatically (this one is manual)
- You are sensitive to occasional unpopped kernels, even with a second microwave round
- You need a very large, frequent batch capacity beyond a standard 15-cup popped output
Setup and microwave routine (simple, but not “set it and forget it”)
To use it, you add kernels up to the measuring line, set the lid loosely on top, and microwave for about 2 to 4 minutes. When the popping slows, you can add butter and seasonings after. If kernels are still unpopped, many buyers use a brief second microwave cycle to improve the final pop rate.
Verdict
The Silicone Microwave Popcorn Popper is a strong fit if you want no-oil microwave popcorn in a collapsible, dishwasher-safe bowl. Reviews suggest it is easy to operate and clean, and it generally pops kernels well, with the only common caveat being that you may need to re-microwave a little for the last kernels.
