What it is

To prepare, simply place the popcorn bag in the center of your microwave. Close the microwave door and set the cooking time according to the instructions on the bag, typically between two and four minutes. Listen for the popping to slow down to one or two 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. You can add extra butter or seasonings if desired, but it is usually ready to eat straight from the bag.
