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.
Is it cheaper to buy a popcorn machine or buy popcorn that's already made?

Why does the microwave popcorn bag expand when the popcorn pops?
Because the popcorn starts out as seeds. When the seeds start to pop, the bag has to get bigger to hold all of the popcorn.
Can you pop kernels not in the popcorn bag?
Yes you can in a pan.
Why does steam come out of a fresh bag of popcorn?
Popcorn pops because of the water content in the kernels. Heating the kernels, whether by microwave or by some other means, turns the water into steam, which expands and breaks the kernels. Admittedly, this is a small amount of water, but it doesn't take much steam, to pop a kernel.
Does microwave popcorn contain trans fats?
The popcorn itself is not fattening, but the chemicals and added butter flavoring can be fattening. People who have worked at microwave popcorn factories have come down with lung cancers due to constant inhalations of the fumes from the chemicals. It's best to buy just the kernels, put in brown lunch bag, and cook alone. Raw popcorn is the best!

Typically, you will microwave the popcorn on high for a few minutes until the popping slows down. Be careful when removing the bag from the microwave as it may be hot.
