Abstract: In this invention, a popcorn service bowl fabricated of microwave penetrable materials is arranged with an opened top end covered by a snap-on removable cover and a bottom end terminating in a compartment inherent to the bowl. The compartment is accessible from the bowl through multiple apertures in the bottom of the bowl and has an opening opposite the apertured bowl bottom which is covered by a removable snap-on cover. This cover and compartment arrangement adapts the bowl to be inverted and useful for popping popcorn in a microwave oven and for serving the popcorn popped with the bowl upright and the top end cover removed. The compartment is useful as a receptacle for containment and disposal of unpopped kernels of popcorn and as a resting base for the bowl. With the bowl inverted, the compartment is also useful for melting and distributing a buttering substance over the popped popcorn.
