Healthy popcorn?
Healthy popcorn?
Did you know that popcorn is a super healthy snack? But not the microwave ones, which are an ultra-processed product like the crown of a pine tree. In addition, they tend to burn or go half undone. I have tried to make them in the pot, like all my life, jumping to the sound of crispeteo, but the truth is that you get a lot dirty and then you have to wash the pots and clean the kitchen. Like my two "popcorn", which you see in the photo, love popcorn, I bought this silicone bowl from Lékué to make it in the microwave. You have tons of positive reviews on Amazon, will it pass our test?
Let's try…

The bowl comes folded in the box and takes up very little. When you open it, it looks like this. You only need the Lékué Pop Corn, a bag of corn, olive oil and salt. Well, my two assistants and gastronomic reviews :)
A handful of corn

As it was the first time, we weighed the corn, the 70 g recommended in the box per serving. But the second time you do them, you will already know how to spot them.
All in the bowl
All in the bowl
Put the corn in the bowl, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Stir with a spoon, cover with the lid of the bowl and the micro. It's 3 minutes and 45 seconds. You can also guide yourself by ear. When you only hear popcorn pop every 2-3 seconds, it's done.
Ready!
Ready!
What do they look good at? Quick, simple, natural and without dirtying more than a container that is easily cleaned. Just one snag. I did not quite balance the time with my microwave, so there were some left undone. What I did was take out the cooked ones and put the others in for a little longer. They were made of more, but they were still rich. I have to finish catching the time of the mike!
Verdict?

The two "popcorn" loved them. An invention!
