Directions:
Popcorn for ONE:
Place 1 to 2 tablespoons popcorn kernels into a brown paper lunch bag. Fold over tightly once or twice. Cook on high in the microwave until the popping starts to slow down, in my microwave 2 minutes is too long, 1:50 is perfect. Makes 1 1/2 to 3 cups popcorn, with virtually no old maids.

Popcorn for the FAMILY:
Put 1/2 cup popcorn kernels into a large paper grocery bag. Fold over tightly once or twice. Cook on high in the microwave until the popping starts to slow down, this is exactly 3 minutes in my microwave. Makes about nine cups popcorn, with virtually no old maids.

Personal Notes:
Alanna's Tips: The paper grocery bags can be re-used but I would watch for signs that they are giving out. I’ve made up to four batches of microwave popcorn with a single large grocery bag, just two with a small lunch bag. Microwaves do vary in power so please-please-please, the first time you make popcorn in your own microwave, stay close to monitor the timing. Learn what works in your microwave. My microwave has a revolving plate, this might affect the timing. In addition, I did burn one when the large grocery bag unfurled enough to stop it from turning freely in the microwave. Watch for this! My sister swears by a teaspoon of butter for popcorn. I've been adding that small amount to the big family-size bag of popcorn, it does make a difference.
