POPCORN

Does anyone know how to make popcorn without a popcorn maker? I know how to make it in a heavy pot however you add oil to the pan. I think if I didn't the pan would scorch. Any ideas are appreciated.

Add kernels to large bowl (cover the bottom of the bowl if you want about 3/4 of the bowl to be popcorn), cover with a lid, microwave for 3-4 minutes. Make sure you stand by the microwave so you can hear when it's done-kernels will be about 1 second apart, any longer & you risk burning the popcorn. Be careful taking the lid off, there will be lots of steam!

Thanks for the tip! My popcorn maker had to be tossed recently, and this saves money until I get a new one.
