Using Regular Popcorn in the Microwave.

The idea is microwaving the regular popcorn that comes in the bulk bags, not your premade Mircowave Popcorn packages.

     A 2lb bag has about 20 servings in, and the way I did it was smaller portions, but each to their own on their size of servings.  Now I have not investigated if others have done this, so this was my own experiment, and working it to perfection.  The inspiration all started with a 2 lb bag from my parents, and to do something different.  Not the regular approach.

   So here it is.

     2 Mircowave proof bowls
     1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil or your favorite oil/butter/shortening
     2 Tablespoons of Popcorn kernels

    As shown in this photo. Place all the ingredients in the same bowl.

 

Now with the second bowl cover the first and set the microwave for 2:20 on high (note you will have to experiment with yours).  I actually do it in two stages, the first 2:20, and remove the finished product.  The second for about 1:15 to get most of the remaining kernels.  Note: in removing at the 2:20 mark, I don't scorch my  popcorn.

  

Now presto here you have the finished goods.  This is the first round, as mentioned above.  Second round is about half and gets the remaining kernels. Also by removing the finished 2:20 product you don't get burned/scorched popcorn.

 

Salt to taste or sugar.          Enjoy!!
