Microwave Popcorn

After reading and seeing so many reports on the dangers of the additives or chemicals microwave popcorn manufacturers put in microwave popcorn bags, I have decided to quit buying it.  Instead, I make my own microwave popcorn in a paper lunch bag.  It is so simple to do and much less costly.  I just buy a bag of popcorn kernels and paper lunch bags.  I scoop 1/4 Cup of popcorn (1 serving) into a paper bag and fold the edge over twice.  Put it in the microwave with the folded edge up and microwave until the kernels slow down in popping (usual when the pops are 4 sec apart and the bags has poofed up).  My microwave is an 1100 watt microwave so I find 1 min 15 sec works fine.  If you want to add butter and salt, just melt the butter and drizzle it on.  Then add salt to your liking.  I like to use popcorn seasoning instead if butter.  I find butter is far to greasy.  There you have it popcorn without the worry of the additives or chemicals in grocery store buttered microwave popcorn.
