Ingredients
- 1/4 cup good quality popcorn
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or popcorn salt
- Sprinkle jalapeno seasoning mix
- Paper lunch bag
- Stapler
Directions
Toss the popcorn with the olive oil, salt, and jalapeno seasoning mix in the paper bag. Fold the top of the bag over and staple the bag twice to close. Place the bag in the microwave and microwave on high for 2 minutes to 3 minutes, or until there are about 5 seconds between pops.
NOTE: Popcorn salt is a super-fine salt that is designed especially for sticking to food such as popcorn. It has the taste of regular table salt, but its granules are much finer.

$400 later, my microwave blew after 30 seconds with this recipe.
I love you Alton, and I follow you religiously. This time you let me down and it cost me a $400 microwave. Please let people know that staples and microwaves don't mix. I trusted you to guide me in a safe recipe and after 30 seconds my bag disintegrated and my new microwave stopped working.

I used the popcorn setting and then added about 20 seconds. Not so many unpopped kernals. It tastes pretty good but I wish I could still eat the greasy movie popcorn. Ah the sacrifices we make for a healthier diet.

I used cheap pop corn, light butter (2 tsp, salt and omitted the staple. The brown lunch bag stayed folded just fine. Nice fluffy pop corn just like my air popper makes! Probably would use a bit more butter next time. I am now a big fan of this method! My kids loved it.
