To prepare, remove the plastic wrap from the microwave popcorn bag. Place the bag in the center of your microwave oven, ensuring the 'this side up' marking is visible. Cook on high power for the time recommended on the package, typically between 1.5 to 4 minutes, listening carefully for the popping to slow to a few seconds between pops. Once done, carefully remove the hot bag from the microwave, open it away from your face to avoid steam, and enjoy.
