Microwave Popcorn

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Check the expiration date on the packaging.

Listen carefully for popping to slow to 1-2 seconds between pops, then stop the microwave to prevent burning.

Shake the bag well before opening to distribute butter and seasonings evenly.

Carefully open the bag away from your face to avoid steam burns.

Butter and salt

Nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor

Chili powder or paprika for a spicy kick

Parmesan cheese and herbs

Caramel or chocolate drizzle for a sweet treat

Overcooking the popcorn, which leads to burnt kernels and a smoky taste.

Under-popping, resulting in too many unpopped kernels.

Not shaking the bag before opening, leading to uneven flavor distribution.
