Had a lovely night and need a little snack before bed. The popcorn maker makes me perfect popcorn everytime no jhudgemnt no questions asked. I live in an otherwise-gizmo-free household, but I do genuinely use this things twice a week on average. What gizmo are you not ashamed of?

I also got an immersion blender for $20 a week ago and used it once to make squash soup. Perhaps that isa second gizmo... It's gotten more use than my microave in the same timespan...

As someone who eats popcorn very regularly, I find the microwave to be 100% perfect at it (so long as the kernels aren't many years old). Also I super hate "microwave popcorn" because it's usually at a 10-100x markup compared to just a bag of kernels which are equally 'microwave'able.

I intended to follow up by joining in with a mention of a gizmo, but I think I literally don't have one. So now I'm just a spoilsport. no-fun-allowed

I make my own bags of microwave popcorn with brown paper bags and a stapleless stapler…wayyyy cheaper and you can make your own seasoning up!
