Only way I make popcorn. I use mini staples, placed far apart.When I have my grandson, after popping place that bag in another one, then add butter to that. Then sit down to watch a movie..
Very cheap too. Keep unpopped corn in an airtight container.

I also first heard this recipe from Alton Brown, but he said to add 2 tbs of oil to the bag (I use olive because it's a "healthy" oil, and most of it sticks to the bag and add in the salt (I like Lawry's seasoning salt personally before it's popped because then the salt sticks to the popcorn without butter etc afterwards. And yes, watch it carefully because it can burn quickly. We LOVE homemade microwave popcorn. I give the ingredients to people as a gift and they think it's so neat!

I'm so excited to try this. A friend of mine was recently on one of her low-cal rants and she mentioned microwaving her own popcorn and spraying it with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray because the spray is calorie free. Maybe I should be embarrassed, but it never even occurred to me that I could do microwave popcorn without buying it that way. I love FNH, but I don't know why they're all worked up over this one because this IS NOT common knowledge.
