easy peasy microwave popcorn
« on: June 18, 2012, 06:38:35 am »
Quick, easy, economical way to make popcorn.  No chemicals, additives or pots or pans.  ;)

Put 1/4 cup popping corn in a brown paper bag
Fold over top twice  (to hold it in)
Microwave on high for 2mins 10 secs

Add any topping you might like - salt, chocolate, cheese etc

Enjoy!

hi squirrel, I've done this before but you need to staple it where you have folded it over (x 2, don't worry - no sparks!) or if you don't like the idea of the staples, stand it upright in the MW.

off the internet: "A regular paper lunch bag with ¼ cup of popcorn in the bottom (if desired, add ½ tsp of olive oil and a bit of popcorn salt), fold over twice and stand up in the microwave.  Microwave until popping slows down to a couple pops per second"

There is a great recipe in the "Lunch Box & After School Ideas" booklet p4 for Popcorn Brunch Bars - perfect, only way to make it!

I just take any microwave safe container with lid, cover the bottom with popcorn and pop away. Usually I use my microwave rice cooker.

I have never used oil  as no need but I put plenty of butter and salt on after.
