Popcorn in the microwave

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make popcorn in the microwave? Prepare all the necessary products. We will need corn kernels. The grains must be well dried. You can take grains from ready-made packaging for making factory-produced popcorn, or you can dry the grains yourself.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place parchment on dishes suitable for use in a microwave oven. I remind you that in no case should you use metal objects, as well as dishes with a shiny coating or pattern, in microwave ovens. But all types of glass products, as well as porcelain, paper and wooden utensils, are suitable for use in the microwave. Place corn kernels on parchment.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour in vegetable oil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add some salt. If you are preparing salted popcorn, then in addition to salt, you can add some other dried spices: dried dill, paprika, garlic powder. You can also prepare sweet popcorn - in this case, you do not need to add salt, but powdered sugar will be quite appropriate, and vanilla sugar and cinnamon.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cover the dish with grains with a microwave lid. Be sure to cover the lid - otherwise the popcorn will fly all over the oven. Cook at power 1000 - 2-3 minutes, at power 800 - 3-4 minutes, at power 600 - 5 minutes. As soon as the popping stops, Turn off the oven immediately to prevent the popcorn from burning. You can try reusing the kernels that do not pop to make popcorn.

   Bon appetit!

We have a popcorn maker at home, but somehow I didn’t have a good relationship with it, so only my husband makes popcorn in it. I never tried cooking it any other way until I found a recipe for microwave popcorn. I only added salt to the corn kernels as a spice. I did not line the bowl with parchment. I cooked popcorn at 1000 watts. Microwave it for 3 minutes. At first nothing happened. I already thought that nothing would work out. However, after two and a half minutes the grains began to burst. I gradually added 30 seconds at a time until the popcorn stopped popping. This took 2.5 minutes. A total of 100 grams of grains took 5 minutes to cook. Thank you very much for the recipe! Everything turned out to be very simple. The popcorn turned out great.
