Abstract
An Adjustable Popcorn Strainer which separates partially popped and unpopped popcorn kernels from fully popped popcorn. These partially popped and unpopped kernels can be hazardous to the teeth and are generally unpleasant to eat. The strainer holes are adjustable allowing the desired kernel size to be passed through the strainer.
