Microwave popcorn

I knew someone who could make popcorn by placing the kernels in the frying pan and cooking them in hot oil! His poopcorn was the best and I was very impressed. You can try different brands and read the instructions carefully. They're very particular in the way they should be prepared. I used Orville Reddenbackers, but I don't remember how to spell it! Paul Newmans' brand never worked for me. The popcorn setting on my microwave never worked, maybe you can ignore it and find your way by trial and error. You can also buy a hot air popcorn machine, but the popcorn is a bit plain.

We used to pop popcorn in the skillet like that all the time - I'm telling my age here, but that was before popcorn poppers and microwave popcorn! My grandma used to pop it in the skillet in REAL BUTTER - which is hard to do without burning it - but hers was very good!

I bought a small microwave because that is all that I can afford and had no one to help me bring it up the steps for me.It has a popcorn setting.I eat Orville Reddenbachers Buttery Garlic Popcorn,it is great. We used to fix popcorn with oil in the pan,that was the origional way to make it till they came out with popcorn popper's.My mom got for Christmas one year a machine that had a black base,that's what got hot and a see thru glass dome that fit on top.When it got done popping,she turned it off,unplugged it and turned it upside down.Then she turned off the base and the dome doubled as a serving bowl.In later year's I got n air popper that had a butter melting tray on it.

Iam sorry that you do not like my discussion.I can't please everyone.But,this just adds the last nail in the wood today,I understand that Iam not a likeable person. As far as popcorn.When I was a kids we did not have microwave popcorn either.I will be 47 this summer.

Hey, I didn't mean't upset you. I was having a dig at myself really - not you. Sorry. Hope you are feeling better today. violetdreams

I do feel offended because you come into my discussion and you didn't like it.So,instead of leaving you stayed to inform me that my discussion was bizzare and that you don't mean to down me,but..... And there is another discussion, "I have the power of God" written by member Systems.Now that's bizzare!

It sounds that way doesn't it.I am hopeing that you can open the bags and cook it another way.

Everything else I have to cook a bit longer.I have done about 5 bags of popcorn and they all cook the same way only about one fourth of it cook's.I have ran it longer and emptied it a bowl and tried to cook it all it does is burn the already popped pieces.

Sounds like it's heating just the outside enough and just drying out the rest of it. Then you cook it longer and it burns. Your choice, keep it and find another way to cook popcorn or return it and get a better model.

I have added up to 3 more minutes on it and it does not pop any more kernels.

Lol,I'll have to get a hot air popper and invite some enemies over and aim it at them. :)

You miss understood,the dish for melting the butter was on my air popper,not the dome popper.

We had both an air popper and a dome type that had butter things on top - the dome one had small holes in the butter compartment where the butter could drip down on the popcorn as it popped.

Mine has a popcorn setting.It didn't work there,so I put it on high and it still doesn't pop but about 10 kernels.

I have not had it checked yet,but I plan to.I am partially handicapped and at this time do not have a car.So, as soon as I can get someone to help me out then I plan to.

I have used this popcorn for a long time and never had any problem with it at the microwave I had at my previous home or at hotels.

I have never had a problem with popcorn smelling that way.

I have got a glass turning plate in my microwave.

I probably will when I can get some more money to buy a bigger one and get someone to help me bring it home.
