[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 402378, member: 1233"] Presto makes a microwave popcorn popper that makes air pop popcorn in the microwave. It uses a special paper thingy in the bottom that is replaceable to get the popcorn to pop with-o oil. It is called the Presto Power Pop and is super easy to use. We have used them for years because my kids get upset stomachs if they eat regular microwave popcorn. The kernals are cheap to buy even if you buy the orville brand - lots cheaper tahn reg microwave popcorn. Get him interested in adding spices to boost flavor - it can make a big difference. I know my husband loves adding garlic, cumin and chili powder to popcorn, baked potatoes, almost everything. Check out the various spice blends on [URL="http://www.myspicesage.com"]www.myspicesage.com[/URL] for good prices.
