Are some microwaves better for popcorn?
 

I tried the lemon popcorn again and although the end result tastes
wonderful, there was a problem. I had to stop the popping because I could
smell it starting to scorch. Only a few kernels got that way and overall
there is no scorched taste. But because of this, about half of the kernels
didn't pop. So, grrr...

On the plus side, I still have most of the packet of seasoning #2 (the lemon
and salt) so I can use it another time on my own popcorn. And I will for
sure try to come up with this seasoning on my own. But this is exactly the
flavor that I wanted. I only used the tiniest bit of the oil this time.

I've never popped in a Microwave. I purchase kernels and put em in my cast iron pan along with some oil/butter.

They definitely vary. Since this doesn't sound like a packet of
microwave popcorn, I'd just cook it in a pan with a lid on the stove
top. Shake, shake, shake, pop pop pop. :)

That's why it's a good idea to use the "popcorn" button. My microwave
is pretty high wattage, but it has a sensor and does popcorn perfectly
using that button.

To be fair, my 1987 microwave doesn't have a "popcorn button". But this
doesn't sound like something that should be cooked in a microwave,
anyway. Not if you have to add even a little oil.

I suspect she's using some bowl/gadget she bought for making popcorn in
the microwave. But not everything is intended microwave cooking. We
have no idea what the directions actually said. It's all so convoluted.

You don't even need to shake if you have decent heavy pots and pans.
That's what my original style Calpholon is wonderful for. Put the
popcorn in, cover, and don't touch the pan again until the popping
stops.

You don't make popcorn in a microwave, you dumb bitch. Popcorn is made in a pan on the stove. Why are you here? You are stupid, you hate food, you can't cook, and you just suck.

While that's all true, no one even knows if you cook at all because you
never post about cooking, so "Why are you here?"

I do know that. It's just that the instructions said the popcorn was done
when the popping was down to one second between pops. Mine hadn't gotten to
that stage and it was all scorched. So the second time, I stopped it when I
smelled the scorching (was not even close to the alloted time) and only half
popped.

I normally pan pop too but this is a flavored popcorn that I wanted to try.

It is sold as microwave popcorn and it comes sealed in a microwavable bag.

No. The oil is put on after it is popped.

I did! Said it could take up to three minutes to pop. But to stop the
popping when it gets down to one second between pops. But mine wasn't even
to that point yet and it it was all scorched. The second time, it began to
scorch even sooner. I stopped the popping so damage to only maybe three
kernels but about half was unpopped.

Some microwaves are better because they're higher wattage. Always use
the highest power level available. It takes some practice to know when
to turn off the power. Scorched popcorn is a common problem. Just take
it out earlier. The frequency of the pops will tell you when the time is
right. The most important rule is do not try to pop all the kernels.
Follow this rule and you will be a master of the microwaving of the
popcorn.

In reality, she's a junkie. And not only that, she prolly uses crack. Women tend to go downhill pretty fast when using hard dope. The crack gives them brain damage, and they get all jerky. It's ugly.

It does? I didn't see that. But why would they bother to do that if the
corn is sealed in a microwavable bag?

Hmmm... I does! So I will do it that way next time. But Ima still going
to try to make my own seasonings.

Yer a nazi:

operated an MG42 on the Soviet front."

I will do that. Thanks! I guess I was just so excited to eat it that I
didn't notice.

Ah... Mine is 900 watts. My mom has a really large so I presume that it
has higher watts. Hers didn't scorch but neither did it all pop. An online
review at Amazon had some (but not a lot) of other people with the same
complaints that I had. They also said it was very inconsistent. Once in a
while they would have good luck with a bag but mainly not. Also saw that
one woman bought the powdered lemon to make her own. But she didn't say if
it came out right or not.
