Homemade Microwave Popcorn Recipe courtesy Food Network Magazine Do you think that microwavable popcorn is a quick and healthy snack? Think again. A chemical coating used in microwave popcorn bags breaks down into perfluorooctanoic (PFOA). The Environmental Protection Agency has labeled PFOA as a likely carcinogen. Fake butter flavoring (found in many microwaveable popcorn types), also contains a chemical called diacetyl. Workers in microwave popcorn factories have suffered from a condition called bronchiolitis obliterans after inhaling the fumes. This is a rare and life-threatening form of non-reversible obstructive lung disease. Protect your family. Consider popping your popcorn the old fashion way on the stove in olive oil or use an air popper. If you still want to use the microwave put your kernels in a brown paper bag. Directions Place 1/4 cup unpopped kernels in a brown-paper lunch bag. Fold the top over tightly a few times; microwave on high for about 2 minutes, or until the popping slows (the timing depends on your microwave).
