It pops wonderfully and there are no artificial flavors or salt. It is much cheaper than the pre-packaged microwave corn. We melt our own butter and add to taste. This makes for a healthier, less expensive snack and the kids love it.

What happened to the hot air poppers out there? I use one and have no problems. Add butter and salt, or not. They tend to be noisy, but that's about it. Enjoy!
I have heard about this but haven't tried it. We used to buy those disgusting bags of micro popcorn but I stopped buying them eons ago. Thanks for sharing this-we go camping every weekend during the summer so I will be trying this!
I have done this for a couple of years. It works great! Sometimes I use the spray butter but every time I use it I wonder what is in it, maybe more chemicals! I buy the brown lunch bags and I am like like Britt in the archives, I reuse the bag.
Microwave popcorn is probably the worst thing on the market for your health as far as food is concerned. Anything you can do to avoid it is good. This method sounds good. I have a whirly pop that I use on the stove.

I buy recycled everything I can, but there is information showing there are possible metal and wood shavings, other types of paper, etc put into recycled products. Please check with the company name on the bag you chose to buy to use. See what they tell you of the composition. (11/07/2008)
