I tried a method today that might have changed our little popcorn lovin' lives.
Start with 1/4c popcorn kernels.
I used Ryder's Red from Boulder Popcorn. You can use any kind of kernels.
Put them in a lunch sized brown paper bag.
Microwave for about 2 minutes.
You need to watch it so it doesn't burn. Mine took about 2 minutes 20 seconds.
Perfect popcorn!
I tried it the first time with 1/4c popcorn, 1/4t canola oil, and 1/4t salt. It was good but the oil made my microwave greasy. Which is why the bag got greasy. The oil isn't necessary. I honestly didn't taste a difference.
I sprinkled mine with nutritional yeast and salt.
What's your favorite popcorn topping?

A little melted butter works just fine for me. This looks great.
@ButtercupThat sounds really good. Since there isn't any oil in it I could totally get away with butter on top!
We got rid of our microwave, so I went without popcorn for quite some time before I tried the stovetop method. I love it! I don't consider it messy at all, just an extra pot to clean. I use peanut oil which gives the popcorn a subtle flavor, and then a little butter and salt round it out. I tried using an artificially butter flavored popcorn oil "for popping and topping!", but honestly, real butter tastes better.
I read about this tip ages ago and bought some kernels and brown paper bags, then promptly forgot about it. Thanks for hte reminder, I'll have to try this soon!
What a great idea! I usually make stove top popcorn and occasionally will buy microwave... When I use the stove top method, I usually just add a touch of oil and it works out beautifully!
LOVE the idea of using a bag - easy and saves time AND money! I've never heard of nutritional yeast....I'll have to google it. I usually just put a touch of salt on mine.
Thanks for a great post!
My boyfriend and I came up with greatttt popcorn the other day and it was with Parmesan (my contribution) and black pepper (his contribution).
@LeleThat sounds delicious! My husband would love the pepper and I would love the parm :)
@AnnNutritionalyeast gives it a cheesy taste minus the cheese. My husband actually asked if I added parmesan to it because that's what it tastes like. Its delicious and is nutritious.
I love nutritional yeast on mine!
