| Home made Microwave Popcorn |
Microwave Popcorn on the other hand, has so much added junk (generally speaking - I haven't researched every brand), that I tend to think of it as a heart-attack-in-a-bag. Add to that the price that is many times what it costs to make at home, and the added environmentally-unfriendly packaging . . . Well, let's just say I'm really glad I found out how to make my own!

Microwave Popcorn
Open a new paper lunchbag
Put in 1/4 cup dry, unpopped Popcorn
Tape shut with non-metallic tape (like masking tape or freezer tape)
Lay in microwave, and turn on High for 2 minutes or "Popcorn" setting if you have one.
Stay nearby and listen. When popping slows so that there is 2 seconds between pops, turn it off.
(This seems to burn a little more easily than
the commercial stuff, so watch & listen carefully)
Open carefully so as not to burn yourself with steam.
Pour into bowl & eat.
You can season after popping if you desire. I usually spray on a bit of Olive oil from my fill-your-own sprayer, and add salt.

I'm sending this post to my boot-campers. I will be trying this method this week.
ReplyDeleteHope they enjoy it! We love it at our house : )
DeleteI make this all the time! We are a big popcorn family too. One thing I have had to do is place my bag in a microwave safe bowl because for whatever reason, my bags keep getting holes in the bottom and popcorn kernels were being sprayed all over the microwave!
ReplyDeleteI mentioned your blog on my latest post, check it out.
