I know this post isn’t recent, but thank you for it! I was searching Google to see if it’s possible to air-pop kernels without a popper, so this post is just what I needed! No more store-bought nasty-ingredient popcorn for us! (Now off to see your kettle corn recipe – my husband’s favorite!)

What a great recipe. Thanks for sharing. I love popcorn, and our air popper is on the fritz. I think my family will love this.

I am having a link party featuring healthy snacks. I would love it if you would link up.

I tried this last night with a glass casserole dish & lid and I had to keep adding time, and keep adding time- finally at about the 9 minute mark it started to pop- popped about 10 pieces and then my microwave shut down- gone. Its only 18 months old, but it is now dead. I guess I should have used a glass bowl and plate? I kind of always hated that microwave, so, obviously, I’m not too sad, but I wasn’t expecting to have to replace it yet either.

If I try again, I will use a bowl and plate or a bag.

I have made popcorn like this for years. Stapling and taping the bag is unnecessary.
Another thing I do is listen and stop when the popping slows down to about 2 seconds between pops.

Just tried this paper bag method. The paper bag nearly caught fire at the folds. We used clear tape which melted. But we were paying close attention and removed the bag and doused the folds. The popcorn isn’t bad, but the fire hazard is!
