I sprayed nonstick spray on it in the bag and sprinkled cinnamon and the teeniest bit of sugar on it. Yum! Found the bags on sale and the popcorn was super cheap...did the math and it came out to like 6 cents per 100 calorie serving! Roni,

Now, on to the popcorn.. looks GOOD. My kids are hopping to try it, but it is bedtime so they will have to wait till tomorrow. Thanks for sharing the video. I had heard that you could do this but was unsure if it really worked so simply. It looks really easy from your video. Thanks for the motivation!

I was gonna try it but I'm out of popcorn right now :( . Anyway I am one of your former students @ ccbc and I like the site layout! Green is my favorite color too. Btw, you should try to post your videos on youtube, itunes and etc and you can reach millions of viewers and maybe become a internet celebrity... Like Veronica Belmont from cnet... GL!

It seems silly to make 3T when 1T is wasted, and you get the same amount with 2T of kernels. :) I'll be trying it again today! Thanks for the tip, Roni.

Just a thought. If you try it, let me know. Glad everyone is liking the idea! -Roni Shannan – I think 2tbsp pops better – meaning less wasted kernels. Just a thought. If you try it, let me know.

It really works! I used the equivalent of 3T (39 g) and about a third of them remained unpopped. Even so, a lot did pop, and it's so good without the fake butter that usually coats the commercial bags and all the salt. Thanks again for the idea! Roni,

I had no idea I could microwave my own popcorn and the prepacked stuff is getting more expensive so I have stopped buying it. Like other people, I am afraid of blowing my microwave up so I never would have tried this if I didn't watch you make it live. I am going to pick up some brown lunch bags this afternoon so I can give this a try. Thank you so much for sharing this idea! Hi Roni,

Popcorn is one of the approved snacks for public school and buying ready popped gets pricey. We can make it at home. My seven year old will have fun helping me make it!

I would never have attempted homemade microwave popcorn for fear of blowing up something. I just bought a huge bag of kernels for 99 cents and was hesitating using the fancy popcorn cart hot air popper my sister gave me because I didn't want to have to keep cleaning it out every time I wanted popcorn. This is a great solution to that! I'm also going to look into the seasonings. I tend to avoid them because of the salt, but I might give that a try, too. Thanks so much for showing us this!

We've also been using the "Kernel Seasonings" for a few months now. AWESOME! The white greater is so yummy!! The regular cheddar, Is ok.. Not as good. I also just got a thing of the "Molly Mcbutter" for my popcorn, etc. :) Me again! We’ve also been using the “Kernel Seasonings” for a few months now. AWESOME! The white greater is so yummy!!
