FAQs
We've prepared everything you need to know before ordering and before your first preparation, so you can make popcorn with peace of mind, exactly how you like it.
About the product
EcoPop is a dedicated microwave paper bag with a unique closure, allowing you to make popcorn at home cleanly and simply – without oil during preparation, and with full control over the taste.
In pre-packaged bags, the flavor is "pre-sealed" – salt, fat, and seasoning are already inside.
With EcoPop, you start with only kernels, so you choose whether to add salt, which oil/butter to use (if any), and which seasoning suits you.
EcoPop Kit includes:
10 EcoPop bags
4 reusable EcoLock fasteners
Preparation and Use
One bag is for 50g of popcorn kernels, which is about half a cup.
- Fill a bag with 50g of kernels (half a cup).
- Fold and seal according to the instructions on the back of the package with
- Microwave on medium power for 2-3 minutes.
- Stop when the popping slows down, carefully open (it's hot!), and season if desired.
It's recommended to start with medium power and 2–3 minutes.
Every microwave is different, so for the first time, it's a good idea to stay near the microwave and adjust your time according to the popping rate.
When the rate of popping significantly decreases (there are intervals of approximately 1-2 seconds between "pops") – it's time to stop to prevent burning.
No. The popcorn pops without a drop of oil during preparation.
Afterward, you decide: leave it completely natural, or add a little quality oil/butter to taste.
It is recommended to season after preparation – (in the bag or in a bowl) this way the taste is preserved, there is better control, and fewer "surprises" during heating.
After preparation, you can go for sweet/savory/spicy/parmesan/caramel and more – without limits.
All popcorn kernels are suitable. If you like "big and fluffy" or "small and crunchy" – you choose the type of kernel and the experience.
To ensure a consistent and safe result, it is recommended to prepare one bag at a time. If you want more, simply prepare another bag immediately afterward.
It's natural – a little always remains. If a lot remains, next time you can slightly extend the preparation time or improve the quality/freshness of the grains.
