Espelette Pepper Butter Popcorn
Espelette pepper brings a gentle, fruity heat here, worked into soft butter before it coats the corn. The WOW Popcorn Maker pops the kernels with no oil, then doubles as a shaker to spread the seasoning.

Ingredients
Method
In a small bowl, work the soft butter together with the Espelette pepper and salt, using the Tupperware Slim Silicone Spatula.
Pour just the popcorn kernels into the Tupperware WOW Popcorn Maker, resting on the glass plate at the base. Close the lid so its printed circles sit over the holes in the base, which lets steam escape.
Microwave at full power (1000 W maximum) for around 3 minutes, listening for the pace of the pops: switch off once they slow to roughly one every 2 seconds. The exact time depends on your microwave.
Shake the appliance, then flip it over with the lid still closed so any unpopped kernels escape through the holes in the base.
Add the spiced butter to the piping hot popcorn straight away, close the lid and shake gently for around 30 seconds, until the butter has melted. If lumps remain, microwave for 10 to 20 seconds at 600 W and shake once more.
Serve warm; if any is left, leave it uncovered at room temperature and finish it that same day.
