I like the convenience of microwaving popcorn but hate all
the crap they add to it. I wouldn't have a problem with buy
it in the microwave pouches if you could get just plain unsalted
popcorn. So, I recently bought a Back-To-Basics Microwave
Popping bowl. I haven't had an opportunity to use it yet but
am looking forward to it. I can pop it and then add just butter,
the way I like it. I'll let y'all know how it works after I
try it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. ;-)
