This recipe is in Alton Brown's book, _I'm_Just_Here_For_The_Food_. Get some popcorn. Pour 1/3 cup into a paper lunch sack. Fold the top of the bag over twice, 2 1/2-inch folds. Staple with 2 staples, making sure that the staples are 2-3 inches apart. Place in the microwave and cook on high power for 2-3 minutes, until the pops are about 5 seconds apart. Pour into a bowl, drizzle with melted butter, salt with popcorn salt. Shake with parmesan cheese. Or, one of my faves, use CaJohn's Fire Dust. Eat. Enjoy. According to Alton Brown, the staples have very little mass and are shorter than the microwaves themselves, and so are basically invisible to the microwaves. I've used this recipe and have never ignited, arced, or smoldered. - Bill --- "Frank J. Hashek" <pepperking@outdrs.net> wrote: > Ok, I'll bite. Please explain the popcorn reference.
