HOW DO YOU POP POPCORN IN THE MICROWAVE RECIPES

Steps:

• Measure the popcorn kernels into the bag.
• Fold over the top: Give the top of the bag two or three folds and firmly crease the seam so that it stays closed.
• Microwave for 2 to 4 minutes on high: Listen closely — when the time between pops slows to about 2 seconds, your popcorn is ready. Depending on your microwave, popping can finish in as little as 2 minutes or take as long as 4 minutes. Do not wait for all the kernels to pop; your popcorn will burn. It's normal for there to be unpopped kernels in the bag.
• Pour the popcorn into a bowl: Top with melted butter or oil and sprinkle with salt. Eat right away.

Steps:

• In a thin and shallow 3 1/2-quart pot, heat the oil over high heat. Put 2 kernels of popcorn into the pan, cover, and wait to hear them both pop. Remove the pan from the heat, take out the 2 popped kernels, add in the remaining kernels, cover, and let sit for 1 minute.Put the pot back over the stove on high heat. Within a few minutes, the popcorn should start popping. Give the pan a good shake every now and then to ensure even heating. Once the popping slows down to nearly a stop, remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for 1 more minute to give any stubborn kernels a chance to pop. Pour into a large serving bowl.Top with butter and salt if desired. Store any leftovers (ha!) in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
