How to Microwave Popcorn

Microwaving popcorn is fast and easy, and doesn’t require much cleanup. But, microwave popcorn bags can get very hot very fast, so it’s important to always follow popping instructions and listen closely once the popcorn starts to pop.

Microwave Popcorn

  1. Remove the plastic overwrap and unfold the popcorn bag.

  2. Place the popcorn bag in the center of the microwave with the correct side up, as indicated on bag.

  3. Set power on HIGH for 4 minutes.

  4. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE POPPING. STAY AND LISTEN. POPPING TIMES VARY FROM 1-1/2 TO 4 MINUTES (1 to 2 minutes for Mini Bags).

  5. For best results, stop the microwave when popping slows. Overcooking may cause scorching.

  6. Bag is HOT! Remove the bag from the microwave and carefully pull on the top diagonal corners.

  7. AVOID CONTACT WITH ESCAPING STEAM.

  8. DO NOT reheat or reuse bag. DO NOT place the bag on paper, plastic microwave cookware, or turntables that are not an original part of the oven.

KIDS' SAFETY:

While popcorn is a delicious snacking choice, it is never recommended for infants or toddlers. Popped kernels can pose a choking threat to their safety.
