I’ve used the same cast iron pot for decades.

Now I use coconut oil and Orville’s white corn.

It’s a trap!
Clearly this is sinister disinformation being spread by none other than CORN POP HIMSELF!

I’ll hack that hack. She doesn’t need to put anything except popcorn in the bag. She wastes a lot of the salt and butter on the bag surface. Put those additions in the bowl you are dumping it in and have fun.

I have never microwaved popcorn without burning it. Look at the instruction, subtract 30 sec or a minute, burn it.

Awful smell stuck in the microwave.

I guess I could calibrate for microwave, but I would burn a lot first.

Viewers were largely blown away, with many commenting that they’d always assumed there was some sort of “special ingredient” in store-bought popcorn that helped it pop in the bag.

So...these viewers don't know what a microwave oven does? It excites water molecules thus heating them.
What is at the center of a popcorn kernel? A bit of water. Water heated while enclosed creates steam. And...Whoopeee! Popcorn. [snort]...Secret Ingredient.

Wait until you hear the popping stop and then turn off the microwave

People have done that since microwave ovens were available.

For years, some of the cooking people on TV and Internet have shown that you can do it with dried corn on the cob, too:

I’m wondering how it would work for kettle corn.

Stovetop trashes my pan, but it’s SO GOOD!

And when you put bread in the toaster, toast comes out!

Tried the experiment in a Pyrex cup just now. Some were popping after 90 seconds, and some not for another three minutes.

In a pan, they all pop in the same minute, come out fluffier, fewer old maids.

But, I didn’t burn them.
