Time 5m

Yield 6-8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/3 cup popcorn
2 -3 tablespoons melted butter
salt

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.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 7m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup popcorn, kernels
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon olive oil
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Pour popcorn in a paper lunch sack.
  • Add oil and butter.
  • Fold the top of the bag over twice (approximately 3/4" folds).
  • Shake to distribute the oil.
  • Place on its side on a microwave safe plate.
  • Microwave on the popcorn setting (or set for 5 minutes and remove when there is 3 seconds between pops).
  • Plate will be hot - use a potholder to remove it from the microwave.
  • Open carefully because of steam and hot buttery spots on bag. Add salt to taste.

Tips:

  • Use a large, microwave-safe bowl to pop the popcorn. This will help the popcorn to circulate and pop evenly.
  • Add a little oil or butter to the popcorn kernels before microwaving. This will help to prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Use a high-power microwave setting (800-1000 watts) to pop the popcorn. This will help the popcorn to pop quickly and evenly.
  • Microwave the popcorn for 2-3 minutes, or until the popping slows down to 1-2 seconds between pops.
  • Remove the popcorn from the microwave and let it cool for a minute or two before serving.
  • Serve the popcorn with your favorite toppings, such as salt, butter, cheese, or caramel.

Conclusion:

Making microwave popcorn at home is a quick and easy way to enjoy this delicious snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a bowl of fresh, hot popcorn that's perfect for movie night, a party, or a late-night snack. So next time you're craving popcorn, skip the store-bought bags and make your own instead. You'll be glad you did!
