Whats the perfect time to microwave popcorn for?

Question

Using a 750W microwave. So that about 98% of the corn is popped but not burned!

Answer 1

I don't know but my grandparents new microwave has some sort of sensor cooker that cooks any popcorn PERFECTLY! I don't know how it does it but it works! Even with the mini bags! If I were you I would just drive over to my grandparent's house and use their microwave.

Answer 2

Here's what I do. Put the popcorn in for 4 min. When you hear the kernels pop start to listen. When you hear the last one pop, wait 3 seconds... if you do not hear any more then it's done. If you don't feel like listening for the popping, I think the universal setting for popcorn is 3 1/2 min.

Answer 3

Just put it in the microwave until the popping has slowed down to the point where there is just about no popping

Answer 4

I alwasy set the microwave for 3 min. than wait until there is only a pop every 4-5 seconds, then take it out. There are only a few unpoped kernals, and the poped kernals are not burned.

Answer 5

Every microwave is different. I would start with 2/3 of time on package, and check as it stops, adding time right away if not popped enough.

Answer 6

This is a really difficult one. I think it's more to do with luck than anything. I always put mine in for the same amoutn of time in the same microwave, sometimes it burns, sometimes half of it doesn't pop!

Every single microwave ever produced is different. They do that on purpose so you burn the popcorn and have to buy more. Orville Redenbacher himself makes microwaves.

Answer 8

Mothertiggy took the words right out of my mouth. Since all microwaves are different, that is the best way.

Answer 9

90-to-180 secondz, just make sure the time between each pop iznt long, if u keep on hearin'em poppin', ull know they're not gettin' burnt. &az soon az a fairly long gap startz between each pop, turn off ur microwave!!

Answer 10

Until the popping stops =)
