To prepare, simply remove the plastic wrap from the popcorn bag. Place the bag in the center of your microwave oven, ensuring the 'This Side Up' indicator is facing upwards.

Listen for the popping to slow down to one or two seconds between pops, then stop the microwave. Carefully remove the hot bag from the oven, as steam will escape.
