Go get a Emerson at Walmart or Target. I've had several and though the
Sharps are awesome, for the price, an Emerson is unbeatable ($50!). Perfect
potatoes with the potato button, perfect popcorn w/ the p/c button. Get the
one with the big glass rotary plate (don't break it!... cost 70% the price
of a whole new m/w).
