Stove top using Bacon Grease. BEST EVER. Good crunch with the best flavour ever. Not bacony, but it has something extra that puts it over on other popcorns.
@@RobynMM The boyscouts tried selling bags of flavoured popcorn one year. It didn't do well but they had a Bacon flavoured popcorn that was better than sex! I haven't found that flavour since.
Bacon very high in fat content. Sodium nitrates bad. I spray extra virgin oil on my popcorn, high in omega 3 and high in unsaturated fats, the best fats. And season it with nutritional yeast, or onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder Purpose of the olive oil is for seasoning to stick to kernels. Bacon is death. 😢
Ghee is easy to find in a jar that doesn't even need to be refrigerated, but if you heat butter in a pan until it just barely starts to brown, not only does it drive off the water but it tastes really good over popcorn.
Well better late than never. Been searching for a way to pop corn thats not chewy and this is the fix. Just tried it and the corn is very crispy!!! Thank you!👏👏
Tried this tonight. I didn't have enough parmesan cheese so just used butter and salt but will make it again when I have the parmesan. I make homemade garlic butter for garlic bread so next time I think I might try some of this on the popcorn too. I usually make popcorn in a large pot on the stove but it turns out greasy sometimes. This did not and it was very good. Then I put the paper bags in my woodstove to help keep the fire going. Win, win, win. Thanks for doing this.
As an employee of a company that makes microwave popcorn, I can't condone people learning how to do this stuff themselves. How will we use chemicals to control the minds of our consumers. Think of your poor corporate overlords. How will they pay for thier yachts and mistresses.
It just takes a bit longer because the paperbag is thinner than a glass or ceramic bowl. I use 1/3 cup and after 4 1/2 - 5 minutes at 800 W it's done (almost no popping sound).
Love it!! Moving my microwave, dropped it, pieces and parts flew everywhere, been popping popcorn on stove top, top with melted salted butter and hefty sprinkle of cayenne. Love the heat!! Baby daughter gave me a new microwave for Mother’s Day/ birthday (5/24) so gonna pick up paper bags and try your method.
I have an alternate recipe that cooks the butter into the popcorn. Try using a Pyrex bowl with a lid, corn, coarse black pepper, and a tablespoon of butter - salt optional. Microwave for 5-7 minutes depending on the microwave. Stop cooking when popping stops.
Same here. Paper bags don't hold as much so I use 6qt glass bowl. Pour half cup of popcorn and drizzle canola oil or melted butter in. Don't have a lid for the bowl so I use a dinner plate to cover it. Microwave for 6 minutes. Stop when popping slows down. Scoop popped corn into serving bowl, leaving unpopped kernels. Season with whatever you like.
I have depression and anxiety and I was literally just crying and your video made me feel a lot better. Also, we’re really low income so this tip will help so much, thank you. 🙏🏻❤🌽
A fav seasoning for me is nutritional yeast with salt and butter. Sometimes I’ll add a pinch of cayenne pepper. I’ve been popping on my stovetop for decades but am excited to try this! Thanks so much!
Had a stay at home mom. We got "bored" in the summer. She'd let us go out the the curb and make a little fire in a coffee can (dead end street, no traffic). Her rule was "the fire has to stay in the can". We got the bright idea "why don't we cook some popcorn!" We got some aluminum foil and put a little divot in it and put it over the coffee can fire. Added some kernels of popcorn. They burned. Got the idea "well, we're missing oil". We went to my dad's garage and got his oil container and put a little squirt of motor oil in the foil divot then put popcorn in it. Viola! Popcorn! Tasted just fine because when the kernels popped, they popped out of the oil and we caught 'em. It's important for kids to be bored. Out of that, comes creativity 🙂 Over 60 years later, I'm doing just fine for the "healthy folks" that warn against stuff and aren't much fun.
I liked how you gave an insight about the readymade popcorns and packaging. I have never used them but thanks to you i will never have to use them ! Thankyou for this easy technique!
I just leaned the coolest thing today, Graham!! I never knew you could just pop popcorn in the microwave like that...I knew the classic bags were terrible for you but didn't know this little trick! I'm making this the next family movie night and that parm seasoning sounds oh so good!!
@@Passionforfoodrecipes My biggest complaint is that it doesn't make up enough, LOL. BTW, That looked like paprika, not curry, but I could be wrong (that happens A LOT!). Another way my family & I like it is with garlic mixed in with the parmesan cheese. Thank You SO Much!
@@SenoritaPuffyTaco-fr8tv The problem with seed oils is the high temperatures and harsh chemicals they're processed with. That's not true of coconut oil. Coconut oil is healthy.
Man, am I glad I saw this! Didn't know this was possible! What's great is that you can choose whether or not you want to add fat (butter), thus making it slightly less caloric dense if you opt to just put salt/spices on. Thanks a lot!
@@markkeegan17 it's hydrogenated palm oil. The palm oil itself isn't that bad but the hydrogenated part keeps it shelf-stable and that's unhealthy and unpleasant.
Popcorn is my fav snack - super satisfying and fairly low cal (esp of you can control how much you’re making and what you’re topping it with). I’ve been begrudgingly a slave to the micro-bags for decades because of the convenience, so needless to say, I will definitely be trying this - thanks much
Thank you!!! We bought an air popper and always ended up with chewy popcorn that we then put on a sheet in the oven. This was perfect. We didn't have the lunch bag size and used a grocery sack cut in half (which fits on our glass turn plate). Perfect!
When microwaves first hit the commercial market, this was the one feature that was advertised......pop popcorn in a paper bag. That was the way everyone popped popcorn in a microwave.......until the pre-packaged stuff hit the market. Faster, easier won out over the brown bag.....Now you'll probably even have to buy your small brown bag. Prior to that....we just popped on the stovetop or used an electric popper......no bags or chemicals were harmed. Native Americans even used clay pots. After all.....they created popcorn.
I tried the method here and it really, really worked. I'll never go back to bags!!! I'd had no idea that the popcorn in bags was not different from regular popcorn. I once did popcorn on the stove for the kids of a friend, they had no idea it could be done that way. And now I can have popcorn without even doing it on the stove and having to add oil. This way tastes so much better!
I can confirm that this is the best way to make popcorn! I've done it this way for years, and it works every time. I like to pour my butter down the sides of the bowl before I toss. I like the blend you used, no judgement from me. 😮😍
I concur. Redenbacker is definitely worth the extra cost!! It's still about 25 to 50 cents a bag. I use an air popper, now I'm sold on microwaving my own! Thank you!
I use the lunch bags, and then after I get 2 bags of popcorn I add real salted butter about a 1/2 stick melted and a little salt. Tastes great. Been doing it now about 3 years.
Adding the butter I have been doing this for like 2 decades or more. Take a cheese grater and use the extra fine and grade a half stick or so of the frozen-butter stick. Add it to the bag or toss the bowl and toss it around. I find this distributes the butter better and hot popcorn will melt the butter flakes
been trying a few different things,,,, some good seasoning choices BUTTERPLUS one of the following -- Ground fine Everything bagel, montreal steak seasoning, ADOBO Seasoning, lemon pepper with parm, and believe it or not buttered then sprinkled with nestle's quick.
Really like the insights into how bad the store bought stuff is. This is such a great way to make popcorn. Lots of butter and salt, and your spice blend is great too. I appreciate the kernels of truth in this recipe.
We are out of the store bought pre-made stuff. So I'm going to buy the paper lunch bags and change over. Thank you on the one staple idea in the microwave.
Oh yea these both look delicious 😋. I don’t like the microwave bags you buy in the store either. Thank you for sharing Graham. Have a great day. Full Watch
I haven't actually cut one open and examined it, but as far as I know jiffy Pop are basically just foil pouches, so unless they're also adding a plastic liner to it on the inside that should be a perfectly healthy way to pop corn!
Thank you. I have three grand daughters I watch 5 days a week now that summer is here and lately the two youngest have been experimenting in the kitchen making messes for me to clean because they don't know clean from Papa's clean. Anyway, maybe this will interest them, they love popcorn. Again, thank you!
Really good, my brudda, cos I stopped doing the paper bag trick because of the mess. Now that I know I can pop the corn without oil it's on again! Thanks!
Been doing this for a while. I like to put Frank’s powdered seasoning and Hidden valley ranch powder on it after it pops. I spray it with Avacado oil before adding the powder so it sticks.
Hey! I loved the style of your video - straight to the point, and the puns scattered throughout were great. I'm definitely trying this, I used to microwave the kernels in a bowl with unmelted butter, which would leave my bowl (and lid) super greasy and really hot to touch
Hello! Thank you for sharing your recipe to pop popcorn. I tried it 8-17-23 at 12:30 AM and it popped up great. My Mom was impressed with your method and likes it too.
This video came at the perfect time. I have a lot of popcorn kernels and didn’t know what to do with them! The regular bag of popcorn looks so strange when you opened it. Definitely want to try this out now for sure. :)
This is a-_maize_-ingly simpler than I make it out to be! Never tried this method! I'm surprised you didn't add a pinch of cayenne to the seasoning like ol whatsis name😋 ..ever since I saw he does that, I do it to almost everything, even cookies, and have had zero complaints! ps, I had excellent results with your sesame chicken recipe this past weekend, thanks 👍
Thanks so much for posting. Your blog looks amazing too. I need a healthy way to popcorn. I'm definitely buying some Orville and brown paper lunch bags.
This is an old recipe. We used to make it on the stove, had fun shaking the pan back and forth(was not Jiffypop) then we'd add the butter and salt or make Carmel corn. Had a lot of fun!
Two suggestions. Use pickling salt, which is very fine and sticks well, very much like McDonald's salt packets. Second, if you make clarified butter, cook it until the water evaporates and the milk solids start to caramelize. It will taste awesome.
I’ve been using the microwave for popping corn years. I used to by those wasteful microwave popcorn bags. Then, one day I tried a brown lunch bag . I feel so stupid for buying those over packaged wasteful commercial bags. I have a tip, I use two bags, put the corn in one bag, then open another bag and slide the bags together like a clam shell, it makes a nice box, no more blowouts and popcorn all over the inside of the microwave. I even reuse the bags over and over, making up for all the waste of the past. Another tip, i re-pop the unpopped kernels, I do a shorter cycle, about 2 mins. Net result is maybe 12-20 uppopped kernels after the second go. Taste better, costs less, less waste, this is the best way to pop. BTW, the factories that make the commercial bags have a history of injuries from what is called Popcorn Lung. The powered flavoring that is inside the bag creates a dust, when breathed in can damage the workers lungs. Nasty.
Oh wow, how cool. I don't eat popcorn very often except when I use to live in Chicago... I would stand in line for Garrets Cheese and caramel combo. I have probably used the microwave ones a few times in my life but ewwwwwwww, I didn't know it looked like that inside 🤦♀️🤣😂. Next time I have a popcorn craving, I'm definitely doing it your way. I love the parmesan curry mixture though, I might use it for homemade chicken tenders...YUM! It's always great to learn new things 😉👍LIKE #34
I disagree about not adding the last bit of butter - that's where all the flavor is. Too, I've sprayed a little bit of "Pam" type spray into the bag onto the kernels before popping. It seems to "allow" more kernels to pop, leaving not so many unpopped at the end. Also, if you pour on the butter first then your spice blend will stick better, imho. :D
Excellent instructional. And yes to stay away from processed popcorn with additives which are not good for us. Can you tell us about health risks you’re aware of from microwave food, or of how it diminishes nutritive value?
funny - I invented this over 20 years ago. I even submitted a tip about it to "Women's World' and they published it and I received compensation. So first I tried a large plastic bowl with a lid - didn't work just burned, then I tried a larger grocery paper bag, didn't work either just burned. Then I tried one of my children's smaller lunch sacks and it worked perfectly! No oil needed. Just be sure the top is securely folded down a few times so the popcorn doesn't escape while popping but don't bind it with a clip because the bag will burst out the other end. You must use a lunch paper sack size. Only use about 1/4 c to 1/3 c popcorn. Flatten it before putting it into the M/W and AS SOON as the popping stops take the bag out and empty into a bowl or the risidual heat will burn the popped corn in the middle of the bag. Enjoy my invention!
Its so mindless, less cleanup, the results between this and stovetop are identical… i enjoy making it on the stove but omg this is just fantastic. My 5 year old just got home from school, asks for popcorn… i dont mind making it but if i can cut the time and cleanup so i can get back to work, great…. Lo and behold , this Godsend of a method 🎉😅
I seen that in Women's World and I tried on numerous occasions. When I saw this I thought back to that article. He thinks he invented this or maybe he's just stating to do this instead and added his own seasoning. Ty
Great idea to pop your corn in the bag Graham, I must try this.... Nice flavours too, using the coffee grinder is also a super tip... Have a fun week and I'll catchya again real soon....👋
Great Video! I'm sure this will be useful for a ton of people. I'd have to agree on the microwave since it cooks from the inside out. One of the very few select reasons to ever use a microwave. Nice Job!
Chemical free, and much cheaper than the processed product! One third cup kernels on high for 3 minutes in a plain brown wrapper! 😏😉 Can't get simpler than that.
After enjoying a bag of popcorn that I shared with my family, I craved some of my own real-deal popcorn using the kernels I bought from the Boy Scouts outside Safeway. I thought about pouring the kernels into the microwave bag I had on hand, which led me to search for instructions. That's when I discovered a video explaining how to pop popcorn using a brown paper lunch bag. This method not only allows me to customize my popcorn but also makes it a fun activity for kids.
Heavy bottom soup pot, corn kernels, olive oil, pink salt. Lightly coat corn kernels with olive oil, sprinkle with pink salt. High temperature on stove until starting to pop then lower temperature. Pop until slowing down pops to about 10-20 seconds… Perfect and healthy Enjoy
The way you popped that in the lunch bag was so cool!!!!
Thanks Isabella!
@IsabellasQuickRecipes Dang. All I got is dinner bags...will one of those work? Oh wait...maybe a 'paper' bag?
Stove top using Bacon Grease. BEST EVER. Good crunch with the best flavour ever. Not bacony, but it has something extra that puts it over on other popcorns.
I like the way you think Gerry! That's going on my to-do list.
Maybe take a couple strips of the crispy bacon you cooked, crumble it into tiny pieces and add it to any seasonings that you use? Mmmmm!
@@RobynMM The boyscouts tried selling bags of flavoured popcorn one year. It didn't do well but they had a Bacon flavoured popcorn that was better than sex! I haven't found that flavour since.

I always put browned butter on my popcorn…the BEST!!!😀😊
or just heat butter up and skim the top stuff off and yay butter oils
Easy if you live near a city and not in a food desert
@@jillv4006 If you can get popping corn, you can get butter.
@@milesparris4045 butter yes but not ghee. I’ve heard of it but don’t know what it is
I love the "no mess" of the paper bag.

I always use a bowl and put a plate over it. Never thought of a bag. Hahaha. Thanks!
Well now I'm going to have to try a bowl with a plate over over it! 😁

How much popcorn and for how long?
@ 1/4 cup. I usually turn on high for 4 minutes. Stop it when popping gets slow.

I do recall many years ago, Dr. Oz did this microwave popcorn in a paper bag, then added the nutritional yeast. So good.

I love using garlic butter on my popcorn. I have been doing stovetop popcorn for a couple of decades but will give this a try

thanks for his! i will get the Kernels the next time i go shopping here in Eugene Oregon!
Great video! Which curry powder did you use? Yours looks red but all the ones I’ve seen are yellowish.
Thoroughly enjoyed all the puns. 😂 Thanks for the video!
My favorite spice on popcorn is Season all……it’s great for corn on the cob also 😋😋😋😋
Love your videos. Great tips. No yelling at the camera with dumb sound effects, music, and graphics. Subscribed!
Two suggestions. Use pickling salt, which is very fine and sticks well, very much like McDonald's salt packets. Second, if you make clarified butter, cook it until the water evaporates and the milk solids start to caramelize. It will taste awesome.
I've been using Old Bay and butter to season my popcorn lately...
I’ve been using the microwave for popping corn years. I used to by those wasteful microwave popcorn bags. Then, one day I tried a brown lunch bag . I feel so stupid for buying those over packaged wasteful commercial bags.
I have a tip, I use two bags, put the corn in one bag, then open another bag and slide the bags together like a clam shell, it makes a nice box, no more blowouts and popcorn all over the inside of the microwave. I even reuse the bags over and over, making up for all the waste of the past.
Another tip, i re-pop the unpopped kernels, I do a shorter cycle, about 2 mins. Net result is maybe 12-20 uppopped kernels after the second go.
Taste better, costs less, less waste, this is the best way to pop.
BTW, the factories that make the commercial bags have a history of injuries from what is called Popcorn Lung. The powered flavoring that is inside the bag creates a dust, when breathed in can damage the workers lungs. Nasty.
Good tips! Yikes I wouldn't want to work in one of those factories, popcorn isn't fun when it's happening to your lungs!
this is a good idea and a better alternative. doesn't take that much extra time. just heat up butter for a little bit.
Just tried it. Love it. Thank you.
so crunchy popcorn 🤗 perfect method 👍
I've done this for years. I would never use curry though. Coffee grinder sounds like a win. Thanks for this video.
Oh wow, how cool. I don't eat popcorn very often except when I use to live in Chicago... I would stand in line for Garrets Cheese and caramel combo. I have probably used the microwave ones a few times in my life but ewwwwwwww, I didn't know it looked like that inside 🤦♀️🤣😂. Next time I have a popcorn craving, I'm definitely doing it your way. I love the parmesan curry mixture though, I might use it for homemade chicken tenders...YUM! It's always great to learn new things 😉👍LIKE #34
Cheesy and caramel combo?! Now you have peeked my curiosity!
Also yes on the tenders 😁
I disagree about not adding the last bit of butter - that's where all the flavor is. Too, I've sprayed a little bit of "Pam" type spray into the bag onto the kernels before popping. It seems to "allow" more kernels to pop, leaving not so many unpopped at the end. Also, if you pour on the butter first then your spice blend will stick better, imho. :D
Yes! Use all the parts of the melted butter. That whitish stuff adds so much to the flavor.
Garlic powder plus Ranch Dressing powder 😋 🎉❤
Excellent instructional. And yes to stay away from processed popcorn with additives which are not good for us.
Can you tell us about health risks you’re aware of from microwave food, or of how it diminishes nutritive value?
None😂
*Thanks, you changed the way I buy popcorn now.*
Ooh, great tips. Thank you.
funny - I invented this over 20 years ago. I even submitted a tip about it to "Women's World' and they published it and I received compensation. So first I tried a large plastic bowl with a lid - didn't work just burned, then I tried a larger grocery paper bag, didn't work either just burned. Then I tried one of my children's smaller lunch sacks and it worked perfectly! No oil needed. Just be sure the top is securely folded down a few times so the popcorn doesn't escape while popping but don't bind it with a clip because the bag will burst out the other end. You must use a lunch paper sack size. Only use about 1/4 c to 1/3 c popcorn. Flatten it before putting it into the M/W and AS SOON as the popping stops take the bag out and empty into a bowl or the risidual heat will burn the popped corn in the middle of the bag. Enjoy my invention!
Its so mindless, less cleanup, the results between this and stovetop are identical… i enjoy making it on the stove but omg this is just fantastic.
My 5 year old just got home from school, asks for popcorn… i dont mind making it but if i can cut the time and cleanup so i can get back to work, great….
Lo and behold , this Godsend of a method 🎉😅
Been doing this for almost 40 years
I seen that in Women's World and I tried on numerous occasions. When I saw this I thought back to that article. He thinks he invented this or maybe he's just stating to do this instead and added his own seasoning. Ty
Been doing for years, Glad to see others avoiding those horrible popping bag things.

Great idea to pop your corn in the bag Graham, I must try this....
Nice flavours too, using the coffee grinder is also a super tip...
Have a fun week and I'll catchya again real soon....👋
Thanks for popping in Margaret!
Great Video! I'm sure this will be useful for a ton of people. I'd have to agree on the microwave since it cooks from the inside out. One of the very few select reasons to ever use a microwave. Nice Job!
Thanks bud! Yeah the microwave actually shines for this one job. lol 😁
Chemical free, and much cheaper than the processed product! One third cup kernels on high for 3 minutes in a plain brown wrapper! 😏😉 Can't get simpler than that.
@@BigMamaDaveX Heck yeah 😁
I usually substitute olive oil for butter,tastes good to me.
Looks delicious
After enjoying a bag of popcorn that I shared with my family, I craved some of my own real-deal popcorn using the kernels I bought from the Boy Scouts outside Safeway. I thought about pouring the kernels into the microwave bag I had on hand, which led me to search for instructions. That's when I discovered a video explaining how to pop popcorn using a brown paper lunch bag. This method not only allows me to customize my popcorn but also makes it a fun activity for kids.

Looks tasty! Thank you
Hi Your popcorn recipe looks so delicious! I really like Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. Have a nice day, my friend.
Heavy bottom soup pot, corn kernels, olive oil, pink salt.
Lightly coat corn kernels with olive oil, sprinkle with pink salt. High temperature on stove until starting to pop then lower temperature. Pop until slowing down pops to about 10-20 seconds…
Perfect and healthy
Enjoy
SUPERr recipe thank you my friend😊
