Homemade popcorn is easy to do and far cheaper than throwing a processed bag into the microwave. Best of all, you can control the type and amount of seasoning.
1 tsp | extra virgin olive oil | 5 mL | |
1 pinch | salt [optional] | 0.2 g | |
1/4 cup | popcorn kernels | 50 g | |
2 tsp | herbes de Provence | 2 g |
Use a microwave safe bowl that is large enough to contain all the popped kernels (1/4 cup kernels yields about 6 cups of popped popcorn). If you use a glass bowl, make sure it is tempered glass and can handle the high heat.
A vented microwave food cover is needed for this recipe. If the lid isn't vented, intense heat can build up and cause the bowl to explode. Alternatively, you can cover the top of the bowl with parchment paper, secure it with a rubber band, and poke vent holes in the top with a knife.
For more than 2 servings, depending on the size of your microwave oven, you may need to work in batches.

Don't leave it unattended, No Problems. All most all the kernels where popped. Made the recipe double. Was in my microwave for 2m30s
Don't leave it unattended
Maybe the person who failed used a different bowl or too little oil. I used a big Pyrex bowl with a vented lid. Olive oil, seasonings, popcorn. But I had to go almost 6 minutes. It was worth it, very few unpopped kernels, one or two overcooked.
Epic Fail !!!!! About 40% unpopped kernels.
