Abstract
A device for separating unpopped popcorn kernels from popped popcorn. The device comprises a flat flexible disc having tapering edges, feet or ridges to elevate the disc, and a plurality of holes perforated through the disc. The diameter of the holes will only allow unpopped popcorn kernels to fall through the disc, and not popped kernels. Therefore, regardless of whether the disc is supported at its edge of its feet, there is space for the kernels to fall through.
