Preparing Popcorn in a Microwave

Microwave popcorn should only be prepared by closely following manufacturer’s instructions. Always stay close to the oven and stop it when the popping process slows to avoid scorching the popcorn. When opening the bag, be careful to avoid the hot steam when it escapes.

Specific instructions can be found by visiting Orville Redenbacher’s site at: http://www.orville.com/howtopop.jsp.
