    the instruction do quite clearly say to listen to the popcorn and to stop it when the poping slows otherwise its likely to burn.

    When i had it last time i noticed several warnings about listening rather than going on the time

    mine only ever goes in for a minute

    As i said I was there the whole time, I too read the bit about listening for the pops. After 50 seconds and one small fire later, there was still plenty of corn left for the popping.

    Why not just buy a bag of popping corn and cook it in a saucepan, cheaper and safer.You still have to watch it though.1.29 for 500 grams

    I appreciate the popcorn advice but as this was in a graze box my objective was not to eat popcorn that day, it's just the cards the good people of graze dealt me for that delivery.
  • I emailed them to let them know and despite clearly stating I wasn't after a refund or a voucher or anything like that...they gave me both. Also despite clearly stating I followed the instructions to the letter, they did insist I read the instructions on the packet and I must watch and listen to them carefully. I'm actually glad I did in fact do that without having to be reminded but hey ho.

    Overall well done Graze, like I said it wasn't a complaint just a head's up to them and us.

    Because that doesn't work when you're going straight from work to the cinema and don't want to pay cinema prices and only have a microwave oven rather than a full kitchen available at work... :D

    I had the same, ours was black and burned after 40 seconds.

    So I emailed and sent pics, they refunded and removed the popcorn from my selections. It just seems a bit of a daft product that burns unless VERY VERY CAREFUL, so not the sort of thing to have in a graze box.

    Popcorn is popcorn. Put it in a paper bag and put it in the microwave. Doesn't have to have the special bag that some popcorn comes in.
