| you can make your own microwave popcorn - without the nasty (to me) smell of microwave popcorn or the chemical additives.
1/4 cup of popping corn
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
whatever seasoning you like (i was partial to oregano and parmesan cheese or cayenne pepper)
Tools:
Plastic paper clip (I have good sources that say a staple wil work too - but I'd be hesitant to try it)
A brown paper bag (when i've done this -make sure it's a paper bag that's not made from recycled products - and lunch bags are the preferred bag)
(the oil isn't even necessary but it's helpful to have the seasoning stick to it)
Put oil in the bag - and smoosh around.
add popcorn kernals...
seal bag with paper clip (fold over once or twice )
Make sure popcorn kernels are flat in the bag and as close to a single layer as you can get
Put in microwave and pop - depending on microwave it can take anywhere from 90 seconds to 3 minutes -
Open bag carefully and enjoy |
