Found a way to (somewhat) contain the popcorn explosion.
Despite having to put a bib on it, I really do love this machine. We are eating popcorn every day. We were told by our pediatrician that our daughter shouldn’t eat it (or raw carrots or nuts) until age 4- said it was a choking hazard. I hope we don’t live to regret it, but we’ve begun disregarding that advice. She LOVES popcorn. And while I don’t give her raw carrots or plain nuts, she often gets nut chunks in bread. Every time she eats it, I watch her like a hawk. But none of it has ever posed a problem. Anyway, today I spritzed it with olive oil from the Misto and sprinkled fine Himalayan sea salt over it. Perfect.
Just don’t let her cram her mouth full–a favorite thing for her to do.
