One of the most iconic and varied binge-eating snacks is popcorn. I love to eat popcorn when I am watching shows and movies late at night. The customization of popcorn is one of the best things about it. You can buy microwave popcorn in bags, popcorn kernels, pre-popped popcorn and so much more. One of the best kinds of popcorn I have had came from the Ecolution Original Microwave Micro-Pop Popcorn Popper. This handy tool can be found on Amazon for the cheapest price, but can also be found on other big retail websites like Walmart. In my opinion, popcorn made using this popper is superior to any other kind that can be bought. The popcorn popper is available in a variety of sizes which can fit the needs of one person or a family depending on which you get, and the poppers are also available in different colors. 

In order to use this, you will need butter, popcorn kernels of your choice and just a few minutes. The first thing you’ll need to do is fill the top piece with kernels one to three times, depending on the size popper that you have. The larger your container, the more kernels you will need to get a full serving of popcorn. Next, you will cut a slice of butter fitting for the amount of popcorn you are making –this is just up to your best judgement and does not require a specific amount. Put it on the top lid piece and it will melt into the popcorn in the microwave. This step is also optional, but it improves the taste  and is worth doing, in my opinion. Then, you will put the apparatus in the microwave for up to three minutes. Depending on your microwave, you may need to  cook it for  a little more or less after seeing how the first batch turns out. Be careful not to let it cook too much over the three-minute mark, as your popcorn may burn. If your kernels do not all pop and the popcorn ends up burning before they get the chance to pop, try using fewer kernels and making two batches if you need to. Be careful when taking off the lid after you remove the popper from the microwave – the entire thing will be hot. Put your popcorn into a separate bowl, season it as you desire and you’re good to go!

Another great thing about this popper is that it is made of glass and is dishwasher safe. For those who may not have a dishwasher, it is also perfectly fine to wash it by hand after you let it cool completely. This makes better at-home popcorn than anything else I have ever tried. I highly recommend getting one of these, as it is a great alternative to other types of popcorn.
