Answers:
Method One: (Microwave)
1!. Pour a quarter cup of popcorn kernels into a paper bag!.
2!. Fold the top of the bag three times!.
3!. Place the paper bag in the microwave!.
4!. Set the timer for 40 to 60 seconds!. (mine took 3-4 minutes)
5!. Wait and have fun!.
6!. Remove the bag and pour the popcorn into a dish!.
7!. Cook unbaked kernels for about 15 to 20 seconds!.
8!. Add the extra popcorn to the other batch!.
9!. Pour melted butter and salt onto the popcorn!.
10!. Serve!.

Method 2 (Stove)
1!. Take a frying pan and a fitting lid!.
2!. Put some grease (canola oil for example) in it to make sure your corns won't stick to your pan!.
3!. Wait until the pan is hot--you can add 1 or 2 kernels to the pan as it heats up!.!.!. when they pop, the pan is hot enough to add the rest of the corn!. Be sure to set the stove temperature to medium at this point or expect a lot of burned kernels!.
4!. Put in the corns, make sure you use corns which are meant to use in a pan!.
5!. Put on the lid fast! Make sure no corns flip out!. Shake your pan a few times to make sure all corns are loose!.
6!. Now you hear a lot of pops, just wait until all sound is gone!.
7!. When nothing happens quickly take of the pan and put your corns in a bowl!.
8!. Put on salt/sugar!.
9!. Serve!.

You can pop them and eat them!. Just put them in a kitchen kettle about 3 or 4 quart size with a little cooking oil and put a lid on them, shake them often and they will start popping in about 3 or 4 minutes, let them pop till they quit or your pot runs over!. Salt it then and eat it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
