I hate the taste of popcorn that goes into the trash due to being burnt... Because I can't taste it .I do too. If it stops popping for more than a couple seconds I stop the microwave. i hate the smell of burnt popcorn.

Oh yeah, a couple years ago i got one of those popcorn blower machine thingies. Love it, you pour some butter in with kernals and the hot air heats it up and pops it out. they never burn, but instead they fly all over the counter when they come shooting out
Hot air poppers are the best for quality popcorn. Pain to clean though.
The one I had never did that - it put it all in the bowl .I dont care so much about the mess of cleaning the machine, its picking up the stray popcorn it flings all over the place
Awesome and healthy microwave popcorn at mere pennies per bag:
Place 1/4-1/3 cup popping corn in a paper bag, fold down and staple (don't worry, the staple is fine) and microwave 2-3 minutes (play it by ear!!)
Btw, those who are having issues with quickly going from unpopped to burnt, use medium-high. You'll have a bigger window between "hot enough to pop" and "burnt".
I cook my popcorn in a tortoise shell over an open fire. I guess I just don't need them new fangled gadgets to do simple things.looks like i may be the only one here that don't own a microwave and cooks popcorn in a pan on the stove. guess some of us just don't need them new fangled gadgets to do simple things.
Pop it without the butter then add the butter once it is in the bowl. Nothing really needs cleaning that way.Hot air poppers are the best for quality popcorn. Pain to clean though.
Glad to see a return to quality posts in this thread
Brilliant...Pop it without the butter then add the butter once it is in the bowl. Nothing really needs cleaning that way.
My wife has a hot air popper that was made in the 70s. Still works fine.
There's one at Meijer for $10. Buy it and just keep exchanging it until you get a good one!
