If you're willing to nuke it :-), I make microwaved popcorn all the time .... I just take 1/4 to 1/3 a cup of kernels, put them in a plain lunch-bag size brown paper bag, fold over the top 1/2 inch or so and close the top with a staple or two (placed far apart so they don't arc in the microwave) then throw it in the nuker and hit the popcorn setting. Works for me, anyway. -- Chuck MATTSEN - Mahnomen, MN mattsen Random Thought/Quote for This Message: .... Try everything once, except folk dancing and incest.

It works fine. I've heard of some people who just microwave popcorn in paper bags. But I've also heard that this can cause a fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Air poppers are inexpensive-you can get a brand new one for $15-$20. Used ones are even less. The one I have I got for Christmas from my dad 16 years ago and still works great!

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I make popcorn on the stove. I add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of kernels to a pan over a fire on the stove and put the lid on. Once I hear them popping, I start shaking the pan over the heat until there aren't many pops, then I turn off the heat. I normally do add a little oil in the bottom of the pan, but I would think it could work without it.Gypsy Gina <gypsygina escribió: Hi guys, Does anyone know how I can make popcorn without an air popper and without adding any oil?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 > > Does anyone know how I can make popcorn without an air popper and > without adding any oil? How about the old fashioned way, on the stove in a pot with a tight-fitting lid? This is how we made it as kids all the time. Pour a tablespoon or 2 in a saucepan with a handle, put the lid on, set the pot over medium heat, and just shake, shake, shake. After about 5 minutes you'll start hearing the kernels pop, so keep shaking (And watch that lid!) for a few more minutes, until you no longer hear any popping.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi Sue, That will work without adding any oil? I was afraid it might burn without the oil. I suppose I could spray with Pam.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 i bought a air microwave popcorn popper at walmart by Presto and saw one at the salvation army...I bought that one for 2.00 and took the walmart one back for 13.77 plus tax! Actually i still love the pouring some oil in a reg. pot till one kernel pops and shaking it!!! I can't stand the smell of microwave stuff besides the fact that it is lousy for you....I don't eat it very much, our snack at night is usually grapes, bu i miss the summer season with all the fresh fruit...Nancy and EdOur travel adventures...http://ncyg46.blogspot.com/http://360./ncyg46http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncyg46/ Be a better sports nut!

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 >That will work without adding any oil? All our years growing up in the 1950's doing it this way and my mom never used oil or butter, just the dry pot. As long as you keep shaking that pan nothing will stick or burn.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 air poppers don't need oil, the new presto one for the microwave uses no oil or oil, your choice but you get to buy the paper inserts for the bottom more often if you use oil...It tastes okay but a little bland....Nancy and EdOur travel adventures...http://ncyg46.blogspot.com/http://360./ncyg46http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncyg46/ Never miss a thing.
