Comment on How would I pop a bag of popcorn on the microwave?

Buy loose kernels in jars, they’re the cheapest popcorn in the store.

Get a big flat pan and a matching glass lid so you can see through it.

Avocado oil has a very high smoke point, you won’t reach it making popcorn. I’ll explain why. Add some to the pan. I use quite a bit, I like it better than butter so it’s the only fat I add.

Optionally buy the salts/fake butter combo flavor cinemas use. Sift it over cold pan to taste. Otherwise, use what you like for seasoning.

Turn the stove to max heat.

Dump in kernels.

Cover and wait until a small handful of kernels to start popping.

TURN OFF THE STOVE. The residual heat in the stove/pan will fully pop all your kernels without burning the earliest kernels to pop. Shake your pan gently now and then to get the kernels stuck in the already popped corn to drop back down.

That’s it!
