I have to ask the question. As far as Popcorn is concerned, do you pop your own or get the stuff for the microwave?
I literally suck at microwaving popcorn. I am guaranteed to burn it and there is one thing a person should not eat is burnt popcorn. All you have to do is burn a few kernels and it ruins the whole batch.
I know, there are settings on microwaves for popcorn, put the bag on a plate, check the power levels, do this, do that. I have tried all those things through the years and I am just hexed as a failure to make popcorn in the microwave. I am not all sure about what exactly goes into that bag of popcorn anyway. I do know that it isn't very healthy and is loaded with things I can't pronounce. It's scary stuff.
I think it all comes down to the fact that I just prefer making popcorn the old fashion way. I think that popcorn cooked on the stove taste a 100 percent better than the microwaveable types. I love fresh popped corn with salt and melted butter. I have made it that way all my life and prefer it that way.
I laugh at myself regarding the microwaveable popcorn. My youngest daughter from the age of 6 could put a bag of popcorn into the microwave and have it come out right. Not me, lol.
