A slot cover, that slides into two guide tracks at the underside of the said bottom, that covers the slot openings. There are a multitude of slot covers whose purpose are to restrict the size of the slot openings in said bottom. A smaller base container fastens to the bottom of the large main body container by means of a threaded clockwise fastener, that is attached permanently to the base of the main body container. The fastener has a slot cover opening in its side, in which the slot covers slide through, into the guide tracks, covering or restricting the slot openings. When using the invention to steam food in the microwave the base container is filled with water, when the water heats up while microwaving, steam passes through the slot openings, steaming the food. All these elements combine to result in seedless popcorn, a method of separating a multitude of seeds from their associated matter and a method of steaming food in the microwave.
