Pretty much any microwave made after 2000 actually has decent popcorn function. Seriously, try it. They use sensors to detect when to popcorn is ideal.
Why use anything but a pot on the stove:
-
Put a thin layer of canola or vegetable oil in the pot. Enough to cover the bottom but not so much that a popcorn kernel is covered.
-
Put 4 or 5 kernels in the pot and turn on the stove to medium heat. Cover.
-
Wait a minute or two until all kernels have popped.
-
Immediately add the serving size listed on the popcorn kernel package. Half a cup or whatever. Cover the pot.
-
Wait for the kernels to stop popping. Turn off the stove.
-
Transfer to a serving bowl and add seasoning (salt, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, cayenne pepper, paprika, etc.).
-
Eat a better bowl of popcorn than you've ever had.
oil in the pot
That's why. Microwave popcorn doesn't require clean-up.
Coconut oil works super well too. It has a really high smoke point.
I will never stop popping.
Partner bought us a popcorn popper. Put the popcorn in the device, place a bowl in front, plug it in, and your popcorn pops. No oil, no pan, no mess, and it was like 10 bucks. It's basically a glorified hairdryer. This is the correct way to do popcorn.
You gotta shake the pan around while it's popping too so the unpopped kernels stay on the move!

Put microwave on highest setting Place your bag in and start popping, put more time than you're gonna need cause we stop it manually Heres the secret, as soon as you can count three seconds between kernels popping, stop that thang. perfect popcorn everytime
I make popcorn on the stove and it works much better
đź‘Ź Use đź‘Ź the đź‘Ź lower đź‘Ź heat đź‘Ź setting đź‘Ź
The 100w setting for 3 min does not equal to the 2000w setting for 9s. Shit gets burned because of the hot spots. Use lower heat for longer to eliminate hot spots in your food.
Also: put your popcorn closer to the edge of the turntable!!!
It rotates through more of the microwave so it averages out the hotspots more effectively
Just buy popcorn seeds and get a pot and lid and fry it in coconut oil. Salt and butter to preference.
Dummy.

anon is goddamn retarded
Y'all should ditch microwave popcorn for an Air Popper or Whirlypop anyways. Since the microwave one sheds micro plastics apparently

If you don't think your cheap Chinese made plastic popcorn maker is shedding micro plastics too, I have a bridge to sell ya.
Sure, it's becoming clearer that food and plastics are not a good mix. The Whirlypop method is aluminum though
And it tastes better as well as being cheaper
thats why you should invest in[o a good microwave
The Costco stuff pops pretty well.
I did try an air popper, but that makes some genuinely flavourless crap, and throws unpopped kernels everywhere.
Best results I've had was in a big pot with some coconut oil, but it's fiddly to get the temperature just right. It's easy to go too high and burn it.
be me Tried to Cook popcorn once the old fashioned way aka on the stove Banned from the kitchen for the rest of my life Coal doesn't taste so bad.
