Today, I was craving some popcorn, so I went to the supermarket and bought the microwaveable type. When I got home, I remembered I didn't have a microwave. FML

Fun thing about popcorn is that it's still seeds. Put it in a pot with a lid on and heat it up on the stove. It's so old school, it's retro-hip!

Put it in a pan and cover it and just leave it on the stove

This made me lol. Did you have a microwave recently and then somehow no longer have one? I would never go to the store to buy a really good xbox game and then go "oh wait, I only have a playstation."

When I was like 10, I put the left over seeds in a bowl and put plastic over top so it wouldn't fly out, I didn't know heat burned out the plastic

Don't forget that leaving a utensil in something when you microwave it keeps it from being cold in the middle!

when you've had a microwave your whole life and then yours goes out (which isn't cheap to replace), you just don't always think about it while you're impulse shopping (I haven't done it with popcorn, but things like hot pockets I have lol)

Just use the pot you smoke with.

Easy, open the microwave bag and empty contents into a pan (that has a lid) add a tiny bit of butter (stops it sticking etc) place lid on pan and heat on a medium to high heat, occasionally shake pan to stop kernels burning. Your popcorn should start popping within a min, and will be done in 3 mins

I don't have a microwave, and I have done this before. I'm not anti-microwave or anything, I broke my microwave moving into my current apartment and after 2 years I just leaned to live without.

we haven't had a microwave in over 2 years. It sucks sometimes when you want something fast or you want to zap leftovers, but my hubby makes great stove top popcorn. It really isn't hard, just don't overfill it and shake the pot as it starts to pop. And DW, I've bought packs of microwavable food from Sam's without thinking about it lol. The good news is you can always find an alternative way to cook it.
