Yes, I've tried it, Charles. It works, after a fashion. The amount of oil doesn't produce the moist kernels I want, but I wouldn't add any more oil than what is called for. You get a lot more unpopped kernels with this method, but that may be because I stop the microwave too soon. Sometimes, you can smell the bag start to burn, and that makes me nervous. Give it a try, and let us know your results and how you feel about it.
