I was dismayed to find some discussions about the potential for problems using brown paper bags in your microwave oven, such as fire, but I had absolutely no issues any of the many times I did it. My solution is a new method of prepping the kernels, but like many other techniques I researched, it requires paper lunch bags. I also wanted to avoid using plastic, tape, or metal, such as staples. I set out on a mission to make better homemade microwave popcorn with only natural ingredients, and without using costly popping gadgets. To prevent the liquid fat from seeping through, the bags are lined with a chemical called perfluorooctanoic acid, which, unfortunately for microwave popcorn lovers, has been linked to cancer and other nasty things. For the corn to pop, the kernels are submerged in boiling fat inside the bag until a buildup of steam in the kernels causes them to burst.
The health concerns regarding microwave popcorn are a result of the way it’s packaged.
