Sometimes if the popcorn does not pop it is because it is not fresh, see if you need new popcorn.

my mother used to make popcorn like that, and we ahd such fun. i will definately revist that. popcorn that’a bought in packages are so expensive, and this is just right. i have’nt heard about the coconut oil though, my mom used to use butter. i will look in walmart to see if i can find some. the poping games will begin once i find it.

Okay, I know this is a really old post, but you know you can make “real” popcorn in the microwave with a lot less mess and heat? Just put about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of uncooked popcorn into a paper lunch sack with about 1/4 tsp of olive oil. Fold it over, STAPLE it (YES!! You CAN put a metal staple into the microwave, I swear!) and shake it up. Throw it in the ‘nuker for 2 minutes or so on high, until you hear it start to slow down poppin (like you do with the store kind).
It comes out tasting just like stovetop popcorn and is pretty healthy b/c of the small amount of oil needed!
I learned this a few years ago and try to tell as many people as I can about it!

thanks a bunch! my microwave broke down a week ago and I didn’t know what to do with the popcorn we had in the cabinet.

I’ll be sure to try it with coconut oil sometime also!

I always just make microwave popcorn, but decided to make some stovetop to go for a healthier option…so I foudn this video, and I made it, and the popcorn came out wonderfully! Thank you!!

As far as toppings, I like to throw a handful of pimento olives into the bowl! it adds a nice salty flavor without having to add additional salt, and some of the brine gets on the popcorn as well, making it incredibly yummy!!!! It’s a perfect way to have salty popcorn without heaping on mounds of salt from the shaker!
