Just buy a bag of dried corn kernals and cook some in the microwave - you need a large bowl, be careful not to put in too much corn, also put a little oil at the bottom of the bowl and remember that you need to let air out so leave a gap when you cover the bowl. If theres no gap the bowl will explode with steam, but if the gap is too big all the popcorn will escape into your microwave! Also, don't leave it in too long or the popcorn will burn. You should listen while it pops and when the majority of popping is starting to subside that's when you should stop cooking it and take it out of the microwave. Not all the kernals will pop. I'd recommend melting butter and pouring it over the popcorn to serve, and eat it fresh and hot infront of a good film! Enjoy!
