How do I pop corn directly off the cob in the microwave?
Place the entire dried ear of corn into a standard brown paper lunch bag, fold the top over twice to close it, and microwave on high for 1.5 to 2.5 minutes (listen closely and stop when popping slows to 2–3 seconds between pops).
Can I put butter and salt with the corn cob in the paper sack to pop it in the microwave?
No, the paper sack will end up soaking up most of the butter. It’s best to pour the popped popcorn into a large bowl (like a salad bowl) and add the toppings of your choice.
What is the best type of oil to use for stovetop or kettle popping?
High-smoke-point oils work best. Coconut oil (movie theater style), avocado oil, or canola oil will give you great flavor and high popping yields without burning.

Popcorn requires a specific moisture level (around 13–14%) inside the kernel to build the steam pressure needed to burst. If kernels dry out from open-air storage, popping yield drops. Keep your supply in an airtight container to preserve moisture.
