I got this from doing a search on the web. This is for 2 servings, and I'm sure you could add more seasonings if you want. 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn
1 teaspoon vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste Directions 1.In a cup or small bowl, mix together the unpopped popcorn and oil. Pour the coated corn into a brown paper lunch sack, and sprinkle in the salt. Fold the top of the bag over twice to seal in the ingredients. 2.Cook in the microwave at full power for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, or until you hear pauses of about 2 seconds between pops. Carefully open the bag carefully to let out steam -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charles Rivard Sent: Saturday, January 18, 2014 1:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CnD] true?, or false. That would be no better than hot air popcorn, which is extremely dry. This is not what I am trying to accomplish. With microwave popcorn, the butter, oil, salt, and popcorn are all in the bag. You then microwave it. This is exactly what I want to do with raw kernels, butter, oil, and seasoning, as stated in the original query. --- Be positive!
