I don't have a microwave oven.
I use an air popper
I try it to see if it works. Most of the time it's too long but sometimes there's that perfect microwave that has the steam sensor and it pops with no kernels.
Works great! Just make sure is a sensor microwave
Yes, but my microwave's popcorn button is customizable, so it's easier.
Have a new ge with settings like that. nukes everything.
Have a LG at a different place with fancy settings and it sings to me and sometimes sends me texts. Works perfectly every time.
I never did until one of my kids used it and it did OK. Ours leaves a bit more unpopped kernels than timing it manually, but pretty minor difference.
So the button is being used, especially when the kids wanna do their popcorn.
Sacrilege making popcorn in a microwave
Yep, worked great.
Yes, I do, however it is not perfect. Microwave popcorn is more art than science and it takes years of experience to know when to stop the cycle. Too short and you're left with a plethora of unpopped kernels. Too long and it burns.
Unfortunately my fiancée does not like pocorn
And that's something you can live with?
My LG microwave suffered a major malfunction and broke the magnetron. I replace it but the humidity sensor apparently broke also so my popcorn button and with other features dependant on that sensor don't work.
Just another example of the enshitification of consumer products. Now I have to cook my popcorn like a savage. I don't know how many bags of popcorn I ruined because my attention span is shorter than the 1-2 seconds between pops.
Only when I’m out of real popcorn. A little interdimensional snack isn’t too dangerous as long as I eat it with plenty of salt.
I try to, but it doesn't seem to work in any logical kind of manner. You just kind of have to push it and some other buttons randomly before it starts to do something.
Microwave popcorn is just nasty though...
Air-popper + microwave for the butter.
No microwave, but my hot air popper gets it perfect every time.
Nope. 1,200 seconds for popcorn. No more, no less.
...20 minutes? I must be missing a reference.
Vast majority of bag instructions state "DO NOT USE POPCORN BUTTON" so no. Also I don't eat much popcorn.
