You can use a brown paper lunchbag to make popcorn in the microwave. It's healthier, because no oil is needed. Just put about 1/4 cup of popcorn into the bag, fold the end over itself three or four times, lay it on it's side, and cook it for about 3 minutes, or until it stops popping. Some experimentation may be needed to find the exact power levels for the microwave oven.
I do this all the time... i prefer to toss a bit of olive oil and salt in there for taste, but its great either way =D
That's actually also way better for you. I heard that some chemical gets released from popcorn bags when they're heated. I'm not sure if it's still a problem, but I know it at least used be.
I just use an oven and some olive oil some sea salt and pepper. never heard of that but my microwave it about 1000w good 2 minutes would probably do it.
