How to Pop Popcorn in a Paper Bag in the Microwave

Making popcorn in the microwave is a quick and convenient way to enjoy this delightful snack. Using a paper bag not only simplifies the process but also minimizes cleanup. Here’s a straightforward guide to popping popcorn in a paper bag using your microwave.

Gather Your Ingredients and Tools

You will need:

• ¼ cup of popcorn kernels
• A brown paper bag (like the ones used for lunch)
• Microwave-safe dish (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Paper Bag

Start by placing the popcorn kernels into the brown paper bag. Ensure that the bag is upright and open so the kernels can be added easily. For added flavor, you can sprinkle in some salt or your favorite seasoning at this stage, though the recipe can remain oil-free.

2. Seal the Bag

Fold the top of the paper bag over a couple of times to keep the kernels from escaping during popping. Avoid using tape or staples, as they can pose a fire hazard in the microwave.

3. Microwave the Bag

Place the sealed bag in the microwave. Set the power level to high and start with a time of 2 to 3 minutes. Stay close to the microwave and listen for the popping sounds. Once the pops slow to about 2 seconds apart, it's time to stop the microwave.

Enjoy Your Popcorn

Carefully remove the bag from the microwave, as it will be hot. Open the bag cautiously to let the steam escape. Pour the popcorn into a bowl or enjoy it directly from the bag.
