Where can you buy popcorn containers?
Yes, you can pop regular popcorn kernels in a microwave. One method is to use a microwave safe bowl. Put 1/2 cup popcorn kernels in the bowl. (If desired, you can also add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or canola oil.) Cover with a microwave safe plate or lid. Microwave on high (at 100 percent power) until the popping slows down to about 4 seconds between each pop, 3 to 5 minutes. Another method uses a lunch size paper bag. Toss 1/2 cup popcorn kernels with 1/2 teaspoon oil and salt and dump it into a paper bag. Fold down the top of the bag. Put the bag in the microwave and run it for 2 to 3 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on the popcorn as it is easy to cook it too long using this method.

The microwave doesn't actually know when the popcorn is done. You have to listen to the slowing of the popcorn popping sound.
