You can also pop it in a heavy skillet covered with a loose lid. You'll want to shake, shake, shake it to keep it from burning if you do it this way. We add only salt, never butter. What I like about this popcorn is that it is quite filling, compared to the styrofoam I usually pop in my microwave, which fills me up about as much as air does!

]]> Tue, 19 Feb 2008 21:43:40 -0500 By Christine G. I'm curious, when you popped the popcorn in the microwave with a glass bowl and lid, how much popcorn did you use?? And truly nothing else??
