PoPampered Cheforn in Dcb or Micro Cookers?

[aksusan]

Does anyone know if you can make popcorn in either the DCB or one of the micro cookers?

Thx

i wouldn't try it in either

Hot oil and the microcookers don't mix. Not for sure about the DCB but I don't think it would work either. DH watched Good Eats and has been using a Stainless Bowl he bought at Target for like $8.

Does he use the SS bowl on the stove top? How does that work? The only type of popcorn that works for me in the microwave is the bag type, I have tried putting it in plastic bowls and regular bowls, no luck.

Thanks for the info. I won't try it then, just a crazy thought that ran through my mind.

I thought someone had said you could do it in the rice cooker????

I thought you couldn't put metal in the microwave? You know, sparks flying and all??

Some metal is OK in the microwave - there's a layer of foil in microwave popcorn bags. It becomes a problem when there is a lot of it, or it has sharp edges/points that can concentrate the electromagnetic energy. If AB was using a metal bowl to pop popcorn, it was probably on the stovetop.Yep- just did a search. The Good Eats popcorn in a SS bowl is stovetop: Perfect Popcorn Recipe : Alton Brown : Food Network
