I had one that looked just like this. I used it for popcorn and to long simmer Asian rice porridge in the microwave. Loved it. Any comments?

Hi Michelle, I have been using it to cook white rice. It's fast but can be messy at times because of the steam and overflow. I have not tried it with popcorn or steam vegetables but it comes with a steamer. I like it but read other comments too.

I have not tried using it for popcorn. I bought it to cook rice in the mircowave and I love it!

I am on my fourth one. I have bought a new one after the plastics have gotten a bit discolored from burning my popcorn every now and then in them ,I tend to actually like a few slightly burned kernels . They work great for both popcorn and rice , also I have cooked rolled oats in it with out overflow :) I have not ever used if for steam vegetables since I usually just cook my frozen vegetables on the plate I am to be eating my whole meal on.

Ooooops, was I supposed to microwave it? I obviously didn't read the directions. I have been using it for weeks without any problems. Hope that helps

Bob H, I bought one and it is perfect. It is just as the original one was, and I am about to buy a microwave plate for my daughter's microwave. This is less expensive than buying a brand new microwave, especially when the only problem was a missing/broken plate.

No, sounds like any other microwave we've had. We really like it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to other people.

We use it to cook quinoa all the time. It works great. We set it for white rice. two to one. we mix spices shallots garlic bayleaf cumin stuff like that in it. Then turn it off 10 minutes before it would have finished. Open and stir to separate the grains and so it doesn't get too sticky and overcooked. Proabably twenty minutes total. Could use the porridge setting maybe. This is if you like chewy/grainy not overly soft. WE toss with our favorte veggies/ green leafies mostly and garbanzos or other beans. Garnish with cliantro or parsley. One of our mainstays. Enjoy!!

It's best not to microwave it because of the sensitive sticker that changes design. I microwaved mine and it eventually stopped changing. Now it's just an overlay of both happy and sad. =/

I have not tried to use it in this manner. Nordic makes a microwave popcorn popper that I have used and like.

I have not experimented with different types. For years have always enjoyed Arrowhead Mills yellow popcorn . I find the popcorn sensor on the microwave works the best as opposed to setting time.

yes. i found that the directions say to have your popcorn in the microwave for five minutes. the corn began to burn. i have an amana late model microwave and i think the next time i'll give it less time. the 1/3 cup was overflowing this last time.

I liked it because it was so small. But it's not as powerful as most microwaves and you will probably notice the difference. I never got very good at determining cooking times. Often I burned popcorn. It's a bit more trouble than a "regular" microwave and not having a rotating turntable takes some getting used to, but, depending on your space limitations, you make want to make the effort to adjust to it. I had mine for a year before it became unusable and though it got me by, I wouldn't purchase another one.

Hi, there. We are remodeling our kitchen and I can't find anything. Interesting, this is my third one in 35 years and never put it in the microwave, always the oven. I'll get back to you when I find it. I know it would not fit in my smaller microwave.

I was able to fix mine myself from doing online research and found video on Youtube. The circuit board was contaminated from the steam. I removed it and clean it with alcohol and put it back and it has been working ever since. That's a very poor design. This is an oven range microwave. it should be able to withstand that kind of problem. I will definitely not going with Samsung again on my next purchase.

It depends on your cooking passion and style. It is pretty helpful for some microwave recipes. I have used it to cook Briyani Rice and some stews. The last time I used it, I did Cantonese-Style Steamed Fish - I literally threw all the necessary ingredients in with a few tablespoons of stock, and then put on the cover and microwave. It turned out delish! If you are planning to get rid of it, I hope that you would pass it to someone else as a gift, perhaps?

No, I cracked my small bowl when trying to microwave something in it. I wound up buying a replacement here on Amazon. I use that bowl on the table quite a bit for salad and side dishes, but I will never try to cook in it again. I love it too much!

I actually just had this happen to me. Honestly, I just said my good byes and am now just using a microwave. I was sorry to see it go because it was the best thing I ever bought.
