Abstract: A receptacle for popping corn in a microwave oven has (1) a quadrilateral bowl with upwardly diverging side walls comprising a material through which microwaves can readily pass and (2) a cover having four side walls, a top wall and an edge portion, said cover being removably mountable upon the upper rim of the bowl and being likewise of a material permeable to microwave energy. Leg means support the bowl and said bowl has handle means at opposite ends thereof. A drip lip on the inner side of the edge portion of the cover means prevents the escape of liquid which condenses or splashes onto the inner surface of the cover means during a popping operation.
