How to POP Perfect Microwavable Popcorn WITHOUT Burning (Any Microwave Any Package Brand Bag Make)
9How to Microwave a Pre-Packaged Popcorn Bag Without Burning
Steps to Follow:
Place the Bag Properly
Put the microwave popcorn bag right side up (follow the "This Side Up" label).
Make sure it’s centered on the microwave turntable for even popping.
Set the Cooking Time
Start with 2 minutes on high power (most microwaves are 900–1100W).
Listen carefully—when popping slows to 2–3 seconds between pops, stop the microwave.
If not fully popped, use 10-second bursts until done.
Prevent Burning
Avoid using the "Popcorn" button—it often overcooks the bag.
If your microwave is high-wattage (1000W+), try setting power to 80% and increasing time slightly.
Remove the bag immediately after popping stops to prevent residual heat from burning the popcorn.
Let It Rest & Open Carefully
Shake the bag to distribute heat and popped kernels.
Open carefully—steam inside is very hot! #popcorn #microwavepopcorn
