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.
