the popcorn button


If your microwave is a nicer one with a humidity sensor then it works almost perfectly every time.

The microwave is waiting for the bag to burst open and then adds a little time on after that. It fixes the issue with the power levels being slightly different on every machine.

Cheap microwaves just have static timers, so probably explains why some people have varying success with the "popcorn button".

Some "smart" appliances also integrate microphones, but I am not sure about those.

You know that slit of opening in the top of popcorn bagbthst steam is pouring out of when you pull the bag out of the microwave? Turn the bag upside down and shake it up and down. This unpopped kernels are small enough to fall out. Shake until no more come out, then open it up and pour out popcorn, free of unpopped kernels.

My LG upper oven has a popcorn button. It works very well

I don't, microwave popcorn is awful, a few kernels always burn and stink up the kitchen. I bought a popcorn popper pot 30 years ago, it's still makes the best.

Press the :30 sec button a few times. Stand close by and wait till I hear very little popcorn still popping and then I open the door
