How to Avoid Smoke When Making Microwave Popcorn

Hello popcorn lovers! I'm Christopher Rolfson, the creator of Kernel Kravings, your premier source for all things popcorn. Popcorn has been a part of my life since I was a child, and I'm passionate about helping people make the most delicious popcorn possible.

Today, I want to talk about how to avoid smoke when making microwave popcorn. We've all been there: You pop the bag in the microwave and within minutes, smoke starts to billow out of the kitchen. Not only can this be dangerous, but it can also leave your kitchen smelling like a campfire.

Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to avoid smoke when making microwave popcorn.

1. Invest in an air popper popcorn maker. An air popper is a great way to make popcorn without any smoke. All you have to do is pour popcorn kernels into the top and in minutes you'll have fluffy, delicious popcorn.

2. Use microwave popcorn bags. If you don't have an air popper, you can still make delicious popcorn without smoke. When using microwave popcorn bags, make sure to use the proper wattage for your microwave and follow the instructions carefully.

3. Keep the kitchen well-ventilated. Open the windows and turn on the fan to help prevent smoke from building up in your kitchen.

These are just a few tips for avoiding smoke when making microwave popcorn. To learn more about popcorn recipes, cooking tips, and product reviews, be sure to sign up for the Kernel Kravings newsletter. We'll keep you up to date on all the latest popcorn news!
