Last year at the New York Fancy Food show I found some delicious bags of flavored popcorn from this small family-run company in New Hampshire. I got it and posted a review here on Amazon. But what intrigued me more was this product called the Popzup Microwave Popcorn Maker and I had to try it.
I was sent a package by owners Julie and Marty Lapham (nice folks!) in exchange for an HONEST and OBJECTiVE review and I’ve already made two huge bowls of it. Today I made it while taking a video of the process. It takes a trial the first time because, unliked those brown bags of microwave popcorn (which has additional oil to make it pop – there is no specific time you cook in your microwave. It’s based on listing for time between pops. Based on my test you start by setting timer on high for 3 minutes and wait for it to be 5 seconds between hearing a pop. For me that was at about the 2 ½ minute mark. And I actually had no unpopped kernels.
It's best to see the pictures of the illustrated booklet to understand that the “kit” contains 10 sealed clear bags of the corn. They are packed in the cardboard “popper” so you remove them to use. Then you pour the kernels in to the cardboard “popper” and put on the lid. You place it on the edge of the turntable in you microwave, set for high, set time for 3 minutes and push start. When no pop s in 5 seconds you hit stop. When you open the door you will be the cardboard lid has lifted and there are huge popped kernels.

The next step is to empty the popped corn into a large bowl and season the corn. The kit comes with two interesting seasoning. I or truffle and a white cheese shaker. Because there is no oil in the seasoning you need to spray the popped corn with Pan or olive oil so the seasoning adheres to you. (And yes, you can do it without seasoning or add your own salt.

I see that the company sells other flavors of seasoning and I’m anxious to try the sweeter ones.

After making the popcorn all the parts fit compactly in the sturdy box it was miled in.

We've repurchased this popcorn several times over the last few years... it's a bit pricey but we always return to it - it's worth it for the flavor not to mention knowing it's clean. We enjoy it with a little olive oil sprayed on and sea salt = YUM!!

I wss looking for a good popcorn for my son, he likes the microwave one and it's not the healthiest. I came across this product and decided to give it a try. I'm usally a bit sensitive to popcorn , even the organic ones that they sell, but with this popcorn I didn't break out or got any sensitive. My husband works for a supermarket and says it's the best out there. I know it's true now I can eat popcorn now. Happy I found this popcorn

Delicious popcorn & seasonings and really nice people. I highly recommend!

I didn’t know what to expect, just hoping this would be like movie theater quality. Well…IT WAS!

Perfect! Works great and the popcorn is delicious

This is seriously good popcorn and the popcorn popper seriously works well! I had been using a different popcorn (1/2 c per bowl) and popping it in the microwave using the Lekue popper. It was okay - I am a popcorn fiend and eat it daily. I had given up yellow popcorn because it was too tough using my method. And then I discovered Popzup. The single pouch in the popper boxer yields almost as much popcorn with few unpopped kernels! The popcorn has these wonderful nooks and crannies so that my nutritional yeast and spices stay on with just a spritz of avocado or olive oil. THE BEST EVER! Who knew this was even possible?!?!

Hidden Gem in Somersworth NH ! Best service and shipping! So refreshing to buy from a local business that has the nicest employees and owners.

We are a retired couple who live in Auburn, Maine! We eat a light bfast when we get up, a light lunch and a snack of freshly popped PopzUp Popcorn around 3 pm everyday ! If we don’t have that afternoon snack, you better believe we will pop it at 8pm in the evening ! Add some hot melted butter and Popzup Sea Salt Popcorn Seasoning, and we’re all set! We order the 4 Popzup Poppers with 12 bags in each box. Love no ‘old maid kernels’ and the crunchy organic flavor!

Dear PopZup People,
Your popcorn is FABULOUS and you, as a family run business, are even better! The quality of your product, your work ethics, your sense of environmental responsibility are a gold standard for all companies. It gives me such hope to know such a business exists. And . . . IT’S REALLY FUN to use the PopZup Popper!!! :) Thank you for being there.

The popcorn is great and shipped quickly!

A family favorite!

Gave movie box for a gift. Gifted was ecstatic popcorn great but she loved the lack of packaging just as much

What’s not to love? You get a microwave popper box, 12 packs of organic, non-gmo popping corn, and a delicious bottle of real seasoning (no weird chemicals or flavors) - all in a tidy, self-contained box. And the yum factor is wow! I added a second seasoning - cheddar - to the butter and sea salt. Love them both! Gave a second box to my son’s family unit for their family movie nights. A real hit! In addition to the butter and sea salt topper, I got them the apple maple bacon, which they are delighted with. Win-win! Will recommend and buy again!

Have this as a gift to our son’s family for their movie nights. They’re really enjoying it. Nice gift!
