Between you and me
Many people are passionate about popcorn, and it doesn’t always turn out well when we buy it directly from supermarkets to indulge ourselves. Much corn goes uncooked and a significant portion of the bag is ultimately wasted. In addition, they usually contain preservatives, and saturated fats.
With the Lekue container for cooking popcorn, this does not happen, since it ensures a fast and homogeneous cooking of the popcorn, so that practically all the grains come out cooked, crisp and ready to eat. The popcorn is very healthy and low in fat, because we can cook it to our liking, even without adding oil, because it is perfect and delicious in any way.

Being a large container that is suitable for the microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher, it can be used for many other purposes, such as making a salad, or cooking vegetables or fish in the microwave. Food is cooked evenly and in record time.
For fans of popcorn, this container is a real find. In addition, it is economical and you will save much more, because you will only need to buy the corn kernels. For a healthy snack, this container is the best purchase option.
