I just received two large tins of loose popcorn. How do you cook popcorn in the microwave oven? Do you add oil? How much popcorn to oil?

My method is to make a butter icing type mix, then rub the popcorn kernels through it, then microwave with a plate over the top, same principal applies with salt.

I worry about the fumes from the glue in the paper sack.
My mother baked turkeys in a brown grocery bag and they came out nice and browned but I worried about the glue that keeps the bag in tact.
Anyone know the dangers?

I do the lunch sack method. Quick and easy. Then I put the popped corn in a bowl, drizzle with a good olive oil and a smidgen of garlic salt. Delicious!

I allways use a Microwave Rice cooker to pop my corn in. Its a good size plus it has a lid. So any Microwave cooker with a lid is fine. Or you can just use a paper bag. And there's no real need to use oil when popping corn. Takes about one and half to two minutes to cook. But you can hear when the corn has stopped popping. Happy Popping.

Or you could cook it the old fashioned way
on the stove in a pan with oil

cover the bottom of a 2 quart pan with oil
heat
add a kernel
when it pops-cover teh bottom of the pan with corn
shake vigrously until popping almost stops
YUM! Pop-corn

I have always done popcorn this way.
I take about 2 handfuls (you will have to see what yours does,, how good it pops) and put in a brown lunch bag. Fold ends down and turn the microwave on.. can't really tell you how long. You can hear about when it stops popping, and also see when the bag if full !!!! I eat mine just out of the bag, no butter, no nothing. Very good !!!!!

Yes,you need a Orville Reddenbacker popper made for the microwave.It makes very good popcorn and you can add oil or not as you wish.Have had one for many years.Much better than regular microwave popcorn

don't use any oil, and just put enough popcorn to cover the bottom of a lunch style brown bag..and set the timer for anywhere from a 2 minutes to 2 1/2...sit back and enjoy!!!!!

Just put a handful of popcorn kernels in a brown, paper lunch bag. Fold it over 2 or 3 times, and microware for several minutes....until you hear it almost stopped popping. Don't need to add a thing to it.

It's healthier if you use a plain brown lunch bag, and the kermels, no oil. Pour enough kernels to cover the bottom of a brown lunch bag, then refold bag, and roll down the top a few times to close it, and heat on high for 1-2 mins (sometimes longer depending on the microwave itself).

You'll ned to purchase a popcorn popper especially for microwave use. They are cheap and can be bought most anywhere---Walmart, Target, or even Menards/Home Depot. You dont use oil when microwaving popcorn. Hope this helps.
