Paper bags for popcorn...

Hi all,

I want to pop my own popcorn in the microwave in a paper bag for a low calorie snack, but as I live in the UK I have no idea where to get brown paper bags from.... Any ideas?

I use brown lunch bags. Like for packing kids school lunch. Idk though where to find it in the UK stores.

How about popping it first (either stove-top or in a microwave popper) and then putting it into individual serving bags?

No idea - in the U.S. we have "lunch sacks." These are small brown paper bags that kids bring to school. http://www.amazon.com/Paper-Lunch-Bag-50-Count/dp/B0053KOQH0/ref=pd_sim_hg_1

If you can't find any bags .... try looking for a "popcorn" bowl like this http://www.amazon.com/Presto-04830-PowerPop-Microwave-Multi-Popper/dp/B00005IBXK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1343223705&sr=8-2&keywords=presto+power+pop

This bowl works great with or without oil. They come with these little paper cups called "concetrators" that are used over & over again. The cups help keep the heat even. I've not tried brown paper bags yet .....

I pop my own in a hot air popcorn maker (got it for less than £20), pop them in a zip lock bag with some salt & your good to go. Couldn't find any paper bags either so made do with plastic (once popcorn had cooled down). You could try a cash & carry such as Makro, i'm sure they would do bags if you really needed some. :happy:

Thanks everyone Think I might look into getting a cheap popcorn air pop machine!
