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.

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:
- Choose the right popcorn kernels: Use fresh, non-GMO popcorn kernels for the best results.
- Use a brown paper bag: Brown paper bags are ideal for making popcorn in the microwave because they allow steam to escape and prevent the popcorn from becoming soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the bag: Fill the bag no more than halfway with popcorn kernels to ensure that the popcorn has enough space to pop.
- Microwave in short bursts: Microwave the popcorn in short bursts of 30 seconds to 1 minute, shaking the bag in between each burst. This will help prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Listen for the popping to slow down: Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, stop microwaving the popcorn to prevent burning.
- Season the popcorn: Once the popcorn is popped, season it to your liking with salt, butter, or other seasonings.
Conclusion:
Making popcorn in the microwave is a quick and easy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make perfect popcorn every time. So next time you're craving a crunchy snack, reach for some popcorn kernels and your microwave, and enjoy a delicious and healthy treat.
