Method

  1. 1

    Mix. Add mix popcorn kernels, oil, and salt in a little mixing bowl. Toss well till kernels are uniformly coated in oil. Move popcorn kernels in order to a clean brown paper lunch bag. Uniformly fold top of bag over by around 3.8 cm and next fold every of the top corners of this bag over diagonally. Tear a little tab out of the center of every diagonal fold, plus next fold that over as well. This prevents this bag off opening as the popcorn expands. Put the kernel-filled brown paper bag in the microwave plus run on high for around 2 minutes, watching carefully the whole time to ensure the bag does not smolder or, worse, catch fire. This exact timing will vary depending upon the microwave, so take care to err a little upon the un-popped side of things to avoid scorching plus burning the popcorn. Offer.

Storage
