Yes you can. You need to mix in a teaspoon of cooking oil first and don't use too much popcorn (about 3 tablespoons). Use a microwave safe container with a lid (of course) or an oven bag with a small opening to allow steam to escape but don't use a twist tie.

No, as popcorn ages, the water inside dries out and then it won't pop.

Do I Need a Popcorn Maker?

As long as you use regular popcorn kernels with nothing added to them, it really makes no difference in the taste of the popcorn if you pop it in the microwave or in a popcorn maker. However, if you are using the packets of microwave popcorn that have added flavorings and fat, I would say that plain popcorn tastes better. If you want to make popcorn conveniently but without additives, I would recommend putting about a quarter of a cup of popcorn kernels in a regular brown paper bag along with about a teaspoon of vegetable oil and using that to pop the popcorn in the microwave instead of the microwave popcorn bags from the grocery store. You simply add the kernels and oil in the bag, seal it up tightly, then microwave for two to three minutes, until you hear the kernels stop popping. This is significantly healthier, cheaper, and better-tasting than store-bought popcorn.

How do you microwave popcorn?

I understand that there are special sealed containers of popcorn suitable to cook in a microwave. Apparently, there are instructions on the label. The reason why special sealed containers are used is to prevent the popcorn shooting all over the inside of the microwave. One website stated that it was possible to microwave popcorn placed inside a brown paper bag!
