Cool Idea: Microwave Popcorn Poppers

By on May 13, 2010 in Inventions


Alain Karyo, an architect, is the founder of Catamount Glass. The 31-year-old company first made beakers for schools and laboratories, but switched to designing cookware when Alain saw the need for a sturdy alternative to existing glass cookware, reports The Daily Grommet.

Catamount’s popcorn popper is made of borosilicate glass that can withstand high temperatures without shattering, works with any type of popcorn kernels, and doesn’t require oil.

Real butter is optional, and melts in the included silicone tray as the kernels are popped. The larger container comes with a handle, and the smaller size is ideal for space-saver microwaves.

    That’s pretty neat. A handy little popper, especially for anyone that might not already own an air popper or prefers to use a microwave.

    No one knows for sure who discovered that the ordinary popcorn kernels explode when subjected to heat, creating a tasty treat. Archeological evidence verifies that popcorn has existed for over 5,500 years and has been consumed by native people ever since.

    I recently came across the authentic Catamount corn popper in Black label with a black plastic top. How do I pop the corn or what amount etc.
    thank you Irene
