Making popcorn in the microwave

Microwave ovens are actually a must-have for every household, but how can we use them skillfully in our daily lives? When using a microwave oven, you can actually make all kinds of delicious food. Microwaving popcorn is an example, then. Today we will introduce to you the easiest way to make popcorn in the microwave.

There are actually many ways to make popcorn in a microwave. When using a microwave, do we have to use butter or just some corn? The butter can be placed in a small bowl and heated in water so that it can melt better. We should pay attention to these situations. These are the methods of making popcorn in the microwave.

First, put two handfuls of popping corn in a bowl, rinse them with clean water and dry them. Then take a microwave-safe container with a lid, which should be a deeper one. It is best to use a heat-resistant glass container. If you don’t have a glass container, you can use the rice cooker that comes with the microwave.

Put the popping corn in a container, cover it, and heat it in the microwave on high heat for four to five minutes. During this time, you can hear the corn crackling in the microwave. When the banging sound occurs about once every 2-3 seconds, it's almost done. When the time is up, take out the container, open the lid, and you can enjoy delicious popcorn. The power of various microwave ovens is not constant, so the heating time will also vary. If you do this more times you will gain experience. Small-grain corn can be purchased at farmers' markets or large supermarkets where miscellaneous grains are sold. When purchasing, be sure to ask clearly or read the instructions to make sure it is for popcorn. If you want a richer milky flavor, add more butter. If you like salty taste, you can replace the white sugar with salt. If you like chocolate flavor, you can add a piece of chocolate in it.

Using a microwave to make popcorn is cleaner and more hygienic than buying popcorn from roadside stalls, and it saves more fuel than the way we use a frying pan or pressure cooker to make popcorn. And within just one or two minutes, a popping sound will be heard, and the sweet and delicious popcorn will be freshly baked.
