Instructions

  1. Place the popcorn kernels in a large
brown paper bag. Add the oil, if using,
and shake the bag to coat the kernels.


  2. Fold the top 1 cm (½ in) of the bag over
and crease, then repeat two more times.
Twist the top corners of the bag to seal.


  3. Microwave the popcorn on high for
2 minutes, listening for the sound of
popping kernels. Once the popping has
slowed to 2–3 pops a second (this takes
roughly 1½ minutes in a 1000-watt
microwave), remove the bag from the
microwave and immediately pour the
popcorn into a large bowl.
