To prepare, simply remove the plastic wrap from the popcorn bag. Then, place the bag in the center of your microwave oven, making sure the "This Side Up" marking is facing upwards. Close the microwave door and set the cooking time according to the instructions on the bag, typically between 1.5 to 4 minutes. Listen for the popping to slow down to about 2-3 seconds between pops, then stop the microwave. Carefully remove the hot bag, open it away from your face to avoid steam, and pour the popcorn into a bowl.
