MIRACLEWARE MICROWAVE POPCORN POPPER

The Key to successful microwave cooking:
Learn how to adjust the level of cooking in your microwave. Cooking on high can often result in overcooking. Optimize your microwave experience by learning to adjust its power levels of heat. For best results, refer to the instruction manual that came with your microwave. Did you know… Microwave cooking uses very little power and is therefore environmentally friendly. Microwaving is a fast, efficient, clean way to cook that maintains maximum food nutrients.


Use and Cooking Instructions
1) Pour kernels into built-in measuring cup in the popper lid. Measuring cup is 1/3 cup.
2) Place white insert inside flat-bottomed bowl.
3) Pour measured kernels into insert in the bowl and align lid with ridges on the bottom bowl. Kernels may escape if the lid is askew.
4) Set microwave on HIGH power, and set time for 1 to 3 minutes. Listen carefully and stop microwave when rapid popping slows to 2 to 3 seconds between pops. Tip: Record the best popping time for your microwave on these instructions so you’ll have it for your next batch.
5) It is normal for some kernels to remain unpopped. Do not reheat the unpopped kernels.

The MiracleWave Popcorn Popper makes approximately 4 cups of popped popcorn.

NOTE ON MICROWAVE POPCORN COOKING TIMES: It is NOT recommended to use the POPCORN button on the microwave. Cooking time will vary with microwave wattage or type/brand of popcorn being cooked. Overcooking of microwave popcorn will lead to burnt popcorn and possible damage to the popper.

Microwave Popcorn gets HOT, please note:
– White insert will be extremely hot (like the bottom of bag popcorn) — use caution when serving fresh popped popcorn.
– Beware of hot steam that will vent when the lid is removed after popping.
– Do not use oil, butter or other fat substitutes in the popper while cooking, add afterwards.
– Do not leave microwave oven unattended while cooking.
– Children should be supervised while popping popcorn.

MIRACLEWARE MICROWAVE MICRO-KETTLE

The micro Kettle is designed with a patent pending feature to prevent superheating. Water is superheated when the temperature exceeds the boiling point, even though it may not appear to be boiling. The patent pending MicroWhistle feature in the Micro Kettle will activate with the boiling of water so the water temperature will not exceed the boiling point.

Directions for use:
– Fill measuring cup with desired amount of water and place the lid on the cup so the pour-spout is covered.
– Should the water level fall below the Safety Boil-Stick, the MicroWhistle will still sound.
– Place the Micro Kettle in the microwave and set desired time. Times vary between microwaves.
– The MicroWhistle will sound when the water boils.
– Remove the Micro kettle form the microwave when the whistle sounds.

Note — By stopping the heating process at the perfect boil, flavor-enhancing oxygen will be preserved. Better tasting water makes better tasting hot food and drinks.

Should the Micro Kettle not whistle, remove the lid, turn over and push the silicone sealing ring back into place.

Notes for safe use:
– Do not overfill the micro kettle as water may overflow when boiling.
– Only use Micro kettle lid with provided cup.
– Always remove lid before pouring.
– Handle with care, as steam is very hot.
– Make sure the lid is cool before adjusting the silicone sealing ring.

    1. Sorry for the delay in answering! My comments weren’t auto-notifying me – fixed now. I know this is late, but for anyone else with the same question, all Miracleware items include cooking instructions in the packaging. If you need more info I can see if I can find some from the manufacturer’s website. Cheers! Krista

    2. Reference the last question, I have the Miracleware bacon cooker but need the instructions. Thanks for any help.

    3. Hi Jimmy,

      Sorry! Progressive doesn’t have any real directions for this item other than “lay strips in a single layer (for the bacon cooker/grill pan) and cooking times vary” per microwave and level of desired crispness. I’ve always started with a minute on high then adjusted from there. Your microwave’s cooking instructions might have a better idea if time and power. Hope this helps you get started.

      Cheers!
      Krista

    1. The manufacturer doesn’t have one, but here’s one available on Amazon Kindle (free if you have Amazon Unlimited) with some basic microwave rice recipes. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m downloading it and will try a few this week: http://amzn.to/1WRdSux

  1. I have a MiracleWare Syrup pitcher. I have also lost the instructions that came with it, and I haven’t used it in several years, although it looks brand new. Can anyone tell me how to use it?

    1. That item was discontinued years ago, so I don’t know how to get instructions at this point. But I have one, we just heat syrup on medium in the microwave for about 1 min 30 or so until warm. It is top rack dishwasher-safe.

  2. I bought a rice cooker at Walmart this morning. I got the Green cover off but can’t figure out how to open the rest. There is a clear cover inside with everything else under that.

    1. Yes, you can with less water than regular rice cooking. You might need to test the right ratio for what you’re cooking, but it works well for that.

  3. I have the Miracle Ware Rice/Pasta cooker but lost the instructions for cooking pasta. Can you send me the instructions my use care booklet tore in half and I am only left with the rice instructions.

    Thank you

  4. I need instructions for the Progressive prep solutions MiracleWare Microwave Egg Poacher NOT the Perfect egg poacher

    1. The instructions above are for the Progressive Miracleware product — specifically, the 4-egg poacher with the separate lid, not the foldover version, thought the cooking instructions may be similar.
