Steps:
- Pour kernels into a small paper bag (standard lunch size is fine) and fold the top of the bag over twice to close (each fold should be 1/2 inch deep; remember the kernals need room to pop).
- Seal the bag with 2 staples placed 2 to 3 inches apart. (Editor's Note: Using metal staples in a microwave can be hazardous, please consider an alternate method).
- Place bag in microwave on carousel. Cook on high 2-3 minutes, or until the pops are 5 seconds apart. Pour in melted butter and salt and shake the bag to distribute.

Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn kernels. Older kernels are less likely to pop, and they may result in a lower yield of popcorn.
- Use a large enough bowl. The popcorn will expand significantly as it pops, so make sure you have a bowl that is large enough to accommodate the expansion.
- Don't overcrowd the bowl. If you put too many kernels in the bowl, they won't have enough room to pop properly.
- Use high-quality butter. The better the butter, the better the popcorn will taste.
- Don't burn the popcorn. Keep an eye on the popcorn while it's popping, and remove it from the microwave as soon as it starts to brown.
- Season the popcorn to taste. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasonings that you like.
