We haven't had too many problems with things popping. They always get really tight and once I almost lost an eye because a piece flew out and hit my face. Sour cream always spits out at us etc. AND we can't get ice cream because it poofs up all melty like and then refreezes kind of funny. They have it in town for a premium though.
Rachel Ray would be proud you chose Mike-sell's. She featured them recently as one GREAT potato chip! Though the Hussman's Sweet and Sassy's give Mike-sell's barbeques a run for the money.
