Comparing Microwave Popcorn Poppers

Who wants popcorn? Bagged microwave popcorn is one of the easiest snacks around. It cooks in mere minutes, and there are no greasy pots and pans to clean up. The kids can make it themselves with minimal adult supervision.

However, a recent news article has consumers wondering about the safety of microwave popcorn. One consumer who ate the popcorn frequently was found to have a lung disorder from inhaling chemicals related to microwave popcorn butter.

When you cook regular popcorn in a microwave popcorn popper, not in a bag, you eliminate the risk of suffering an inhalation disorder from inhaling the harmful chemicals contained in microwave popcorn.
