Popcorn

The sensor determines the appropriate popping time of commercially packaged microwaveable popcorn.

Do not use regular paper bags or glassware. Pop only 1 package of popcorn at a time. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Listen for popping to slow to 1 pop every 1 or

2 seconds, then stop the cycle. Do not repop unpopped kernels. For best results, use fresh bags of popcorn. Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content.
