OLD TIME WAY TO POP CORN IN THE MICROWAVE

Remember when we used to pop regular popcorn in a skillet. If you are out of microwave popcorn and have a white or brown lunch paper bag you can make microwave popcorn in it. Just take around a 1/2 cup or less of regular popcorn. 1 tablespoon oil or can just leave oil out. Put in the bag and let it cover the bottom. If using oil in it shake it to coat all of it. Fold over the top 2 times. Lay it on it's side like you do microwave popcorn and let it pop. Use the popcorn setting on the mircowave. Or pop around 2 1/2 minutes. Watch or it will burn easy. You can add butter and salt and whatever after it has poped. Wach the steam and do not get burned.
