Where can I find ... ?
May 14, 2001
Did Orville Redenbacker make the microwave
popcorn popper obsolete? Mine is old and 'dying' ... is a West Bend
brand ... and my daughter wants to find one as well. These were
designed for popping bulk bought corn...and then usually turned upside
down for serving....in the top/bowl. I have been to almost all of the
household retailers of cookware ... some places have never heard of
these? Am I really that old?

Dear Marilyn,
No, I don't think you're that old.
However, after an extensive search I was able to determine that West
Bend no longer manufacturers a microwave popcorn popper. They now
make a hot air unit that is a separate appliance and sells for
around $39.95. I was able to find two alternatives at Cooking.com:
(1) Joyce Chen's 2-quart microwave steamer for rice can also be used
to make popcorn in the microwave and (2) Nordic Ware's
3-quart Microwave Popcorn Popper.
Nordic Ware

Nordic Ware's
Microwave Bacon/Meat Grill Bacon/Meat Grill is a
healthy alternative to grilling on top of the stove. Instead
of allowing your bacon or sausage to sit in grease as they
cook, this grill has a raised cooking area so fats and oils
drain away from the meats as they cook. A pouring lip allows
you to easily drain away the excess fat. The grill has a
round shape that rotates in the microwave, and a reversible,
flat side that can be used for baking or defrosting other
foods.

Now you can enjoy Eggs Benedict any time without the time or hassle with Nordic
Ware's Microwave Egg Poacher. This pan cooks 1 to 4 eggs in just
minutes, right in your microwave. The see-thru lid lets you
check the cooking progress while it prevents splattering.

Essentials for Any Kitchen
Tip from Microwave Cooking for
One: "All liquid and dry
ingredients should be measured in metal measuring cups, which are
usually used only for dry measurements. The glass measuring cups
normally used for liquid measurement allow too much variation in
amounts, producing variations in results. In addition, the
markings on glass measuring cups wear off with frequent use."

Stainless Steel Measuring Cups. Go into any professional test kitchen
and you'll find an array of measuring cups just like these:
strong, durable, dishwasher-safe, constructed of 18/8
stainless steel, with clear size markings that make the job of
controlling amounts practically foolproof. Avoid flimsy
dime-store plastic measuring cups and opt for a basic set that
gives you the necessary 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup measures.
Another word of advice: parents of young children may need to
buy an extra set for the playroom--kids think they make a
terrific set of miniature cooking pots

Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons. Take the guesswork out of small proportions using this durable
set of Measuring Spoons. Precision-manufactured with wide,
flat rims for accurate measuring, the set includes spoons for
¼ tsp., ½ tsp., 1 tsp. and 1 Tbsp, all contained on a metal
ring so you don’t lose any in your drawer. Manufactured with
heavy-gauge, 18/8 stainless steel, this set is made to last a
lifetime.
