Discover the simple joy of homemade microwave popcorn with this ingenious Paper Lunch Bag method! Just kernels and a paper bag create perfectly popped corn without additives or oils. The clever technique for removing unpopped kernels ensures snacking perfection every time. Quick, economical, and customizable—this game-changing popcorn hack will revolutionize movie nights!
Ingredients
1/4 cup popcorn kernels
1 paper lunch bag
Directions
Put the popcorn kernels in the bag.
Fold over the top of the bag 3 or 4 times. I usually do it a couple of times in one direction, and then a couple backwards.
If you have a popcorn setting on your microwave, use that.
Otherwise, set your timer for 2:30.
BUT WATCH IT CAREFULLY!!! 
Once there is about three seconds consistently between pops, it is time to pull it out.
My microwave popcorn setting is 2:24, but I usually pull the bag out about 20 seconds before the end.
BUT WATCH IT CAREFULLY!!!
Especially the first few times you do this, so you don't burn your house down!
Now, unfold the top of the bag, but DON'T pour out the popcorn.
Cut one corner of the bottom of the bag, making a hole big enough for an un-popped kernel to fall through, but small enough that the popped ones can't escape.
Shake the bag over a garbage can with that corner down.
The reason you unfolded the bag is so that the popcorn can move around more freely and allow the "grannies" to work their way down and out.
NOW you can dump the popcorn into a bowl and do whatever you do with it.
If you can't handle this from here, you probably shouldn't be using a microwave.
Servings
Serves maybe 1 or 2 people

💬 Uncle Dave says...
This is a great way to make popcorn. Especially cool is the way you get un-popped kernels out of the bag.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
