bb popcorn = Brown baggy popcorn
Cross-posted from a smart balance thread, but I thought more people might find this helpful.
A great home-made microwave popcorn tip:
1 brown paper lunch bag
2 staples + staple gun (I use tape) Chari
1/3 cup popcorn
Pur the popcorn in the bag and make a one-inch fold at the top, then fold again. Make a staple at one end of the top, and the second on the other, making sure that they are at least 2-3 inches apart. Push the popcorn button as per usual, or approx. 2 and a half minutes on high, though microwaves vary. This is much cheaper than buying microwave popcorn, and is much less of a hassle than stovetop.
Caution: the staples must be 2-3 inches apart, that's what stops it hurting your oven; it must be on a rotating plate... no, setting it on a plate to pop doesn't count; and lastly, the metal must not touch the walls of the microwave, again to prevent damage.
I know this is quite a lengthy explanation, but I use it so often and it's so easy, I thought I'd pass it on. I got this out of an Alton Brown cookbook.
