This was published in the Daily Kent Stater today, and I posted it so that I would not have to clip it. I thought others might be interested in it too!

6 -8 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/3 cup popcorn
2-3 tablespoons melted butter
salt

Directions

1
Pour kernels into a small paper bag (standard lunch size is fine) and fold the top of the bag over twice to close (each fold should be 1/2 inch deep; remember the kernals need room to pop).
2
Seal the bag with 2 staples placed 2 to 3 inches apart. (Editor's Note: Using metal staples in a microwave can be hazardous, please consider an alternate method)
3
Place bag in microwave on carousel.
4
Cook on high 2-3 minutes, or until the pops are 5 seconds apart.

I researched this online yesterday and found that I can use a plastic container with the top fitted loosely. It works perfectly and uses less waste! I will never buy microwave popcorn again. I've tried smart balance butter spread and olive oil. Both taste great!

What a snap! I did the butter spray and salt. Used Scotch tape to seal...no problem.Could re-use the bag.

Thanks so much for a great recipe, Lisa! I used a chip clip (all plastic, no metal) instead of staples, cause I was paranoid about metal in my microwave and it worked just fine. I also used spray butter on my popcorn instead of melted butter because it has 0 calories. I will be using this often! Thanks again for posting!
