LUNCH BAG MICROWAVE POPCORN


When you want a no-fuss popcorn snack, our easy microwave method fits the bill—even kids will want to try this out themselves for an afternoon snack.

Combine 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and ¼ cup popcorn kernels in clean brown paper lunch bag. Fold over top of bag several times to seal (do not tape or staple). Microwave until popping has mostly stopped, 2 to 6 minutes. Carefully open bag, watch for steam, and transfer popped corn to large bowl. Toss with 1 tablespoon melted butter and season with salt to taste. (Makes 2 quarts.)
