Homemade Microwave Popcorn Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients, so that the kernels are coated nicely with the oil and salt.
  • Pour the kernels into the bottom of the lunch bag.
  • Make two 1/2 inch folds from the top of the bag creating a seal.
  • Using Two Staples (no more, no less!) staple the bag shut.
  • Lay the bag on its side - allowing the kernels to spread out in a single layer.
  • Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.
  • When the kernels are popping only more than every 3 seconds - it is done. Anymore and it will burn!
  • Carefully remove the popcorn from the bag - there will be lots of hot steam.
  • Flavor the popcorn with anything you like and enjoy!
  • (**Note**) Putting metal in the microwave is not safe, but two staples is not enough metal to cause any unwanted problems. This has been tested and confirmed by several sources, so this method is considered safe.

    I want to give thanks to Dr Ogaga for bringing back my ex husband. No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Trust is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person, It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles, I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn't face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he brake up with me again. I was confuse and do not no what to do again, rather them to get in contact with Dr Ogaga . He did a love spell that make my husband come back to me. we are now very much happy with our self. Dr Ogaga make him to realize how much we love and need each other. This man is for REAL and for good, he can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very, very well, in our love life. Contact

    I tried this the other night. I have an older microwave and the staples didn't spark at all which really surprised me. After 2.5 minutes though I still had quite a lot of unpopped kernels. I flipped the bag over and ran it for another 2.5 minutes. I had a few slightly burnt pieces which weren't that bad. It worked out fine although I missed the flavor of "butter" I get from purchased microwave popcorn. But I suppose that makes it healthier! I attached my picture.

    UPDATE: DON'T TRY THIS WITH ZIPLOCS AND ALIGATOR CLIPS, IT WILL NOT WORK! Also a cat IS NOT a microwave!

    I just made this and it was very good! I used 2 staples with no problems at all! I used seasoned salt instead of plain salt. I made one bag with a little grated parmesan cheese and another bag with about 6 shakes of hot sauce. I added the hot sauce after it was popped, but I think next time I'll try it before its popped. Both of these versions worked out great!!! I will never use the pre-bagged microwave popcorn ever again! This recipe is so much healthier because I can control the amount of oil and salt! Thanks for this great popcorn idea! UPDATE: 2 days later...I made this again and tried to put the cheese in the bag BEFORE microwaving it. Don't do this because the cheese stuck to the bag and burned! It didn't flavor the popcorn at all! Oh well...live and learn!

    About half of the kernels did not pop. Can they be reused with any success? I'd hate to be thinking I'm throwing away half of my stock. One of the ideas of doing homemade popcorn is the cost savings.

    First try came out decent but I am going for that sweet and salty kettle corn taste. Put 1/2t sugar in the mix but could not taste any sweet. Will "up" the amount next time and add some "butter buds" to try to get a hint of buttery flavor.

    Someone suggested an artificial sweetener. Would that work?
