  Those instructions are for the lowest common denominator of microwaves.

  That affects the overall cook time, not the bit about stopping when the popping slows. Even making it on the stove, you need to take the pot off the burner once the popping slows or you’ll burn what’s already been popped.

    I feel like you stopped reading after the sentence that you quoted. Here, let me repeat the rest for you

    If your microwave has a popcorn setting that uses sensors, is almost always the best option. Some use humidity, some use a microphone, some use both.

    They have sensors to detect that for you. Sometimes using literal microphones

      I feel like you don’t understand why that is irrelevant to anything I said. If you have a good sensor microwave, you wouldn’t be burning your popcorn. If you don’t have a sensor or your microwave is shit, you need to pay attention.

        Maybe I misunderstood.

        Whan you say “follow the instructions”, which instructions are you saying to follow?
        Instructions on the internet, instructions on stovetop popcorn, or instructions on microwave popcorn?
