DIY MIcrowave Popcorn Maker

My previous microwave popcorn "maker", a casserole dish broke. So, I had been using a cracker cardboard box to make microwave popcorn but after many uses, it bit the dust.
 
So, I checked my cardboard box stash and found another box that might work as a DIY Microwave Popcorn Maker.
 
 
I got another thin piece of cardboard and cut a piece to put inside the box on the bottom.
 
To make popcorn with your DIY Microwave Popcorn Maker*:

  • In a cup, add about 1/4 cup of kernels.
  • Add water to cover the kernels.
  • Wait about 5 minutes to let the kernels soak up some water.
  • Drain the water off the kernels.
  • Add kernels to your DIY Microwave Popcorn Maker.
  • Close box lid.
  • Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes.
  • Wait until the popping begins to stop, where you hear only 1-3 pops. Be careful the box will be hot, the contents will be hot.
  • Add popcorn to a container with a lid.
 

Basically, you add prepped popcorn to the box and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes.
 
 
Most of the time, using the prepped kernels reduces the number of unpopped kernels.
 

See Microwave: Spicy, Cheesy Popcorn for a popcorn seasoning idea.
