As it can heat to firing point and catch fire. Also during that build to pre firing it can make a real mess.
Put the butter in a microwave safe bowl then put in microwave for about 30 seconds.
You put it in a pot and turn the stove on and and some regular butter to the pot!

White chocolate is not chocolate, it is cocoa butter and has a lower burning point than chocolate. Depending on the microwave settings you may have caramelized (burnt) the sugar in the cocoa butter. You should use a lower microwave setting and do it in smaller increments to see if it melted but not burnt..
you melt the butter in the microwave and then the stuff that is left you scrape it off and then you just have the pure butter left.
The answer is you need to 'pulse' it.... in other words put a small portion of butter in a dish and put it in the microwave, turn the microwave power to it's lowest setting, turn on the power, count to 2 and switch off, repeat this 3 or 4 times then check the butter, stir it and if it's not soft enough return to the microwave and repeat the above until it is soft.
The only way to melt butter for a very long time was to fire up the stove top and put a pot on medium to low heat with butter in it. However, that isn't necessary in the day of microwaves. Just put the desired amount in a microwave-safe container and 30 seconds to a minute should be plenty. Start with 15 second intervals. If you get the butter mostly melted, it will continue melting the rest. Hint: Keep a close eye on the microwave while the butter is melting. The splatter that overheated butter can make is amazing.

Add your own butter after popping

If you are over 6 foot tall and can see into the microwave, this might work. You definitely do not want to be handling containers of hot food from a position over your head. If you have a short refrigerator this shouldn't be a problem.
No. Your phone should never be in the microwave.
