Brown paper bags aren’t technically microwave safe (the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service advises against putting brown paper bags in the microwave), but the paper bag method is a tried-and-true way to make homemade popcorn.
Herein, how long do you put a bag of popcorn in the microwave?
Instructions
- Measure the popcorn kernels into the bag.
- Fold over the top: Give the top of the bag two or three folds and firmly crease the seam so that it stays closed.
- Microwave for 2 to 4 minutes on high: Listen closely — when the time between pops slows to about 2 seconds, your popcorn is ready.
In this manner, why does my popcorn burn in the microwave? Some microwaves are simply too hot to make popcorn at a responsible, measured pace. If the microwave is too hot, it all pops too fast to keep track of. If the microwave in the office or other shared space is known to burn popcorn, it may be best to find another microwave somewhere in the building.
Moreover, why Microwave popcorn is bad for you?
As kernels are popped in the microwave, PFCs break down into perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a toxic chemical that is widely thought to cause cancer. PFOAs enter the bloodstream and take a long time before it eventually leaves the body.
