by putting a small amount of popcorn in a small brow paper bag and folding the end of it and cooking it like you do microwaveable popcorn. it really works and it cuts out the fat.
A microwave
you put it in the microwave. you put it in the microwave.
No, a microwave doesn't have to spin to cook popcorn. While some microwave models have a turntable that rotates to ensure even cooking, it's not a requirement for cooking popcorn. Additionally, some advanced microwaves with sensor cooking technology can detect when the popcorn is ready based on humidity levels, providing optimal results without the need for rotation.
Microwave it, nobcheese. Its magic, no other.
As the article from the link I have added below mentions, it is not usually recommended to use an oven to make popcorn, as it might not agitate the corn kernels enough to pop them. You can, however, still make popcorn without the use of a microwave, via your stovetop =) Here's how: http://www.ehow.com/how_4679799_pop-popcorn-oven.html
i'd say stove
In 1981, General Mills introduced the first commercially available microwave popcorn under their Pillsbury brand. This popcorn needed to be stored in the freezer prior to popping. Later that year, the engineer that worked on the Pillsbury popcorn project, James Watkins, left General Mills and started his own company called the Golden Valley Microwave Foods company. He introduced his own microwave popcorn called Act I. After he figured out how to make the popcorn and oils shelf stable, he patented his new microwave popcorn invention and re-released it as Act II in 1984.

Add your own butter after popping
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.
Popcorn shouldn't be cold if it has been cooked properly or is fresh. You can always warm it up in the microwave but make sure you don't burn it.
The Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper is a stovetop popcorn machine that allows the user to make theater style popcorn in their house. It allows greater control over the cooking of the popcorn then a microwave.
