Microwave popcorn

I have always hated microwave popcorn. The smell, the taste, the weird chemicals but it always seemed so convenient. I never buy it because it is so easy to pop on the stove but then there is the pot to clean. In light of this I decided to try a method I had heard about years ago but never used. Its so easy I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. I am sure it depends on your microwave but for us it takes 90 seconds. Heres what to do.
Brown paper bag
2-3 tbs popcorn
Fold down the top of the bag 2 times and microwave on high for 90 seconds. Your microwave might be different from mine so you will have to experiment a little. If I do 3 tbls then we do an extra 10 seconds.

Tadaaa Super quick popcorn. No chemicals.

Then just add what ever you like on your popcorn.  I am looking for organic or recycled bags for an even better chemical free experience but these seem fine.
