ABSTRACT:
The popcorn container and handle assembly includes a popcorn package having an open-top relatively shallow pan which has an annular rim and a detachable utensil gripping the rim of the pan. A transparent expandable plastic cover having substantially the same shallow outline as the pan extends across and into the pan, with the peripheral edge of the cover disposed between portions of the rim. A charge of popcorn kernels and cooking oil is confined between the pan and the cover. The detachable utensil is made from a single piece of solid metal wire of circular cross-section having the opposite ends thereof secured permanently together by welding to form an endless utensil. The utensil comprises a non-circular expandable and contractable loop for engaging the upper and lower surfaces of the rim of the pan and an elongated expandable and contractable handle of generally U-shape configuration extending from the loop. A force applied to the handle changes the configuration of the loop by increasing the size thereof to permit the utensil to be placed on the rim of the pan. When the force is removed the loop, which decreases in size, returns towards its original configuration and firmly grips the rim of the pan. The utensil may be removed from the pan after the popcorn is cooked and thereafter used with other popcorn packages.
