Thank you Melissa for your share of this recipe.
Please continue and ignore the idiotic comments.
I have been using this microwave paperbag method for years.
With my bare hand I rub and squish and squeeze a little amount of butter and a little salt or the kernels. I use so little butter rubbed in that its almost invisible but its there before placing the corn in the bag and into the microwave.
It is a clean and an easy way to pop corn which tastes great AND never had any fires.
there are times when I have some burned black cases but never fires

DO NOT DO THIS- I just set my microwave on fire
When it cools down enough to asses the damage, I’m hoping that I won’t have to go buy a new one
Thanks a lot

Great recipe and tips! I was able to make a couple batches of yummy, oil-free popcorn and sprayed it all with liquid aminos after I took the popcorn out of the microwave. Thanks for the easy, tasty recipe!

Loved this, Melissa! I just started WW again and this saved me some points. I used 1/3 cup popcorn and a bigger brown bag than the lunch ones. I cooked it for about 3 minutes, and poured it into a bowl. I seasoned with “I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter Spray”, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
So good and zero WW Points.
Thanks Melissa!

This was good. I made it in a bag too when i was a kid, but I didn’t pick up staples at the store, so this was perfect. I added too many kernels, so maybe do a fourth of a cup instead.

@ Jens Kemp….Wow, Melissa is so fortunate she has you to correct her.
And that’s all I have to say.

In reply to Michelle. A good cast iron fryer with a lid works great and can be found made in the US!
