Very good popcorn! I refuse to eat the regular microwave popcorn because of all the additives. When I heard about this version I was a bit concerned...I guess I'm just a worrier. "What if the staple that some people recommended, sparked in the microwave...or what if the oil got too hot and the paper bag caught on fire?" Well, I didnt use a staple...I just folded the top of the bag over twice and the bag didn't catch on fire. So, all my worries were for naught. I did use the recommended olive oil and butter spray and the result was a very delicious popcorn. Thanks for sharing the recipe and ty all for your reviews.

I love being able to make popcorn in the microwave without the chemicals found in the store bought stuff. My Orville Redenbacher microwave popper (I think made by Presto?) does a better job in leaving fewer unpopped kernels, but this is good too and easy clean up. I used a little olive oil and salt on mine.

I love this idea! I can't believe I thought there was something special about "microwave popcorn" to make it pop in the microwave. We hadn't had popcorn in a while because I refuse to by packaged popcorn and am always reluctant to pop a pot for just my husband and me. This is so quick and just the right size serving. I've been making a lot more popcorn the past couple weeks since I found this recipe!

Terrific! Easy and less expensive than store-bought. What more could one ask? One tip for getting better microwave popped corn with less un-popped kernels is to preheat the microwave. Put a cup of water in the microwave and heat to boiling. Open the door, take out the cup, and add the bag of popcorn. We have VERY few un-popped kernels when using this method. We added about 1 1/2 tsp. of salted butter to the corn before putting in the bag and it made a HUGE difference. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! Hugs, Anj

I didn't doubt that this would work, I just couldn't believe I didn't know about it sooner! I tossed about 1/4 cup kernels with a small amount of EVOO and seasoned salt, put in brown lunch bag and microwaved about 2 min, listening carefully. It was great, and so much fresher tasting than the store bought microwave packages. I can't wait to try different flavors! Great recipe.

It's one of those stupid simple things! Great for Weight Watchers if you just put the kernels in by themselves. 1/4 cup kernels makes about 4 cups & it is only 1 point.

What a great idea! I usually make my popcorn stovetop because I can't stand store bought microwave popcorn. But its nice to have an option with a smaller batch and less clean up. My only complaint was there seemed to be a lot of unpopped popcorn, I'll try microwaving it a little longer next time.

Oh my, was this popcorn yummy! I used the method that the recipe called for with vegetable oil, unpopped popcorn, but with no added salt. Afterwards, I added 2 tablespoons of melted, unsalted butter along with several sprinkles of white cheddar popcorn salt and I was good to go. This was an excellent alternative to stove-top popping, which never turned out quite right for me. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe. The popcorn taste exceptionally great! :)

I really really wanted this to work. And it does, but only for tiny amounts. My lunchbags seemed to have enough room for only about an eighth of a cup of popcorn to pop. More than that and it burned. But what was good was really good!

Can't believe this is so easy and it works! I laid the bag down on its side with no problems except for the fact that 1/2 cup kernels is too much for a standard size lunch bag and it overflowed so I had to stop it early. Next time I'll try a little more oil and 1/3 cup kernels. I couldn't taste the olive oil I used. Thanks for an easy winner!

This worked so well! I was so pleased! I made it without salt because I was using it to decorate a cake that I was making for my mother. (It looked like a bag of popcorn.) I can't wait to try it with some salt, butter, & various other seasonings.

This is so easy, don't doubt it. I made it with oil and without and it works both ways. I always have unpopped kernels but i would rather have them, then burnt popcorn. it is great, easy, healthy and cheap! that's tough to beat. I use the butter flavored spray release and I got great seasonings through kernelseasons.com -they carry lots more then you will find at the grocery store. enjoy!

Quick and easy. From the look of the bag, I thought the popcorn would be greasy, but it was perfect.

It didn't work well for me. I placed the popcorn into a Trader Joes heavy brown. I had to keep on adding a couple of more minutes to the cooking time , as the kernals were not popping. Some did pop. Eventually, I took all the popped popcorn out of the bag and dumped the rest of the unpopped kernals into a heated pot with about 3 tbsp. oil to pop it completely. After all of the popcorn popped, i sprayed it with PAM and sprinkled it with salt. I was a bit disappointed that it didnt work for me - as it is much easier to clean up a microwave popcorn recipe than a potted popcorn recipe. I might give it one more shot, using a thinner brown lunch bag.

What a great idea! This tastes just like stove top popcorm without the pan to wash afterwards. Highly recommend for a quick snack.

This recipe has a lot of potential! I didn't use any oil, just popcorn in a paper bag. I folded the bag over & stood it upright per other reviewer's suggestion. The bag ended up falling over anyway & the closed end of the bag was torn open by the popping kernels. I stopped the microwave early as a result, but was still surprised by how few unpopped kernels were left, no burned kernels, and no funky popcorn smell! It tasted great! Next time I will double bag & believe me, there will be a next time. : )
