You can’t beat the convenience of microwave popcorn, but studies have suggested that the packaging may contain chemicals. If that concerns you, there’s good news. Now there’s a new popper that makes it incredibly simple — and safe — to pop fresh popcorn in the microwave. The Ecolution Micro-Pop popper allows you to say farewell to scorched spots and unwelcome greasiness. Just pour your kernels into the popper to the fill line and set the lid on top. Place the popper in the microwave for 3 minutes or less, waiting until the pops are spaced about 2 seconds apart. That’s it. Now you’ve got pure, fresh popcorn that’s as good as anything you could make in a regular popcorn popper or on the stovetop. Because the lid is perforated, you have the option of setting a pat of butter on it. As the Micro-Pop heats, the butter will melt down evenly on your popcorn. The Micro-Pop sells for under $20 on Amazon and comes in 2 sizes and 7 colors.
