I buy popping corn and cook it in a pot in a little bacon grease. And I,
being able to cook, can add anything I desire to it. I prefer to buy the
pop corn flavoring seasonings than make them from scratch....but even
just salt and butter is good that way. If you have a gas stove there
isn't much time difference in making a pot full on it than in nuking a
bag full. Hell even on my electric coil stove it doesn't take that long.

I feel that microwave pop corn was invented so people wouldn't have to
wash a pot,lid and a bowl.

But even bulk pop corn can be nuked...I've done it.
