Public Service Announcement: Popcorn
It seems popcorn burning is a very common occurance. I’ll admit, even I have burned popcorn at least once in the microwave, but not to the point where it smelled up the entire room. This is entirely avoidable, no matter how strong the microwave is.
Yes the microwave has a popcorn button, but it has no way of knowing when your popcorn is actually done. It’s just a preset amount of time for people who one one-touch convenience. Once it starts cooking, you can leave the room for about a minute. No more! Come back in a minute because that’s when the popping starts and you want to be there for that. When you hear the popping start to slow down, you cannot leave or burning is imminent. When there are 2 or more seconds in between pops turn it off. Turn it off! Now! Hurry!
If you wait for every last kernel to pop, the ones that popped first will burn. And smell… stinking up the whole bag, and the whole room. So don’t do it!
