Cook at 200°C for 8 minutes or until the popping stops, shaking occasionally and ensuring no popcorn gets stuck in the heating element.

Chef’s Tip:

To make popcorn in a microwave, use a large microwave-safe glass bowl with a lid or cover with a microwave-safe plate and place 2 tbsp of corn kernels mixed with 1 tsp of vegetable oil into the bowl. Cover the bowl loosely, ensuring a little air can escape during cooking and microwave on high for about 5 minutes. Listen for the popping to stop and remove from the microwave immediately to prevent burning.
