PrestoPowercup Concentrator 2 packs of 8

When using this in my Orville Reddenbacher Presto Microwave Popcorn Popper, it doesn't take long before the popping starts and finishes within 4 minutes. The kernels are fluffy and the way I like them. I've tried 4 other Popcorn Poppers and none of them are as fluffy as the Orville Red Presto Microwave Popcorn Popper. As I burnt mine from forgetting to put a Concentrator in it, I am going to buy another one because it has cost me over $100 in Poppers to realize that sometimes the less expensive is a much better value than a higher priced one.

Have been using the Presto Microwave popcorn popper for years. Finally ran out of these paper inserts that help heat the kernels. These 'powercup' concentrators press into the plastic popcorn popper, we use them for about 10-15 batches, then replace. Can last longer if you don't add any oil to the kernels before popping. (which you can do, to enhance flavor)The product is great. We did have a bit of a shipping issue, as we ordered a pack of 2, but only received a pack of one. Amazon, as usual made it right. We will order more, down the road, as needed.

We make a LOT of popcorn in our household and have tried a variety of preparation methods, including pre-packaged microwave bags, hot-air poppers and the Presto microwave popper. The Presto microwave popper is by far our preferred method. It's more economical and probably healthier than pre-packaged microwave bags, and, in my opinion, produces popcorn that is crisper and crunchier than the hot air poppers we have tried. We get many uses out of each concentrator, only throwing away a concentrator when it becomes significantly discolored.

what I needed

I LOVE my Presto popcorn popper. These little paper plate like things are necessary for making my yummy popcorn. Every time I make popcorn for guests they are amazed at how easy the Presto gadget is and how great the popcorn turns out. I add a little movie theater seasoning and olive oil and it’s perfect! I have no complaints about the product or shipping. The price varies a lot though.I had this item saved in my cart for awhile, waiting until I ran out of my others before ordering. I noticed the price varies on this day to day. Today when I came on the product is $4 more than when I ordered it a few weeks ago. You might want to check on it a few times before ordering. I couldn't find these in any stores though (although I didn't spend a lot of time looking since they are so easy to order on Amazon).

I have loved my Presto microwave popper for years, & I now have to go online for the inserts. The inserts help distribute heat evenly, making for more of the kernels to pop & light, fluffy, yummy popcorn. A little oil can be added (& salt, if desired), but I can have my healthier & convenient air-popped, low sodium popcorn. My favorite healthy snack. Of note, I have found the Orville Redenbacher kernels are the lightest & fluffiest, vs the cheaper brands. Plus, they are non-GMO. Enjoy! Thank you!

I'm a big popcorn eater and these work great. I have an air popper too, but I like these better as the popcorn isn't as tough and chewy as with the air popper. I will say that they don't work equally well in all microwaves. We have 2 different brands of microwaves, one unit burns these up after just a couple of uses. With the other, I can use these for months. I don't know why they perform so differently but I'm blaming the microwave not the powercup.

This product is essential to the operation of my Presto Power Pop microwave popcorn popper. It was exciting to find these on Amazon as they are difficult to find in stores. I love my Presto Power Pop!!

Had no problems.
