I would encourage you to try a glass bowl and lid. Brown paper bags are meant to carry food, not cook it at high temperatures. USDA: “Do not use brown paper bags … for cooking. They are not sanitary, may cause a fire, and can emit toxic fumes. Intense heat may cause a bag to ignite, causing a fire in the oven… . The ink, glue, and recycled materials in paper bags can emit toxic fumes when they are exposed to heat.” It’s the same principle as not boiling an omelet in a plastic ziploc or cooking in plastic storage containers. They are fine to store but at high tempuratures the chemicals change and leach into your food. There are several natural microwave pop corns on the market with just corn, oil and salt in the ingredients, but my guess is it that the bag is lined in BPA, which is a reason why many want to try a new method to begin with. Plus, it’s more money.

I forgot about this way of microwaving pop corn. If anyone reads what is added to any of the microwave pop corns, no matter who packages them- the ingredients alone are reason enough to use this method. Now to get some brown paper bags.

I love your blog by the way. Found it on Pinterest. I re-pinned your blog.

Ahhh! So sorry. I’m not sure what went wrong. I’m wondering if it was something about the type of paper bag you used or how long it was in there. Did the popcorn pop at all? Did the fire start right away?

Again, so sorry for the fire. Crazy. Hope you were okay!!

Thank you for sharing this…I just tried it and it worked great! Plus, the popcorn is much better tasting and healthier without all the unnecessary fat and sodium that the pre-packaged stuff has.

Nice trick–I’m glad you shared! And for less than $3, you can buy a pound of popcorn kernels and 50 lunch sacks–snacks for at least a month, cheap and DIY!
