The popcorn is really delicious and can be used in the microwave, cook perfectly according to the instructions. My tip: Set 3 minutes at the highest level, but pay attention to about 2 1/2 minutes to see if going to burst grains. If only (as described) every few seconds a pop-noise the popcorn is ready. This Nascherei of Chio is much sweeter than you might expect from other brands - almost caramelized. One should, however, once popped, eat the same day, otherwise it sticks together into a lump and no longer crisp.
