Rinse the popcorn kernels under cold running water and drain thoroughly.

Cover tightly and microwave on full power for 7 minutes. Do not lift the lid during cooking.

Let rest for 1 minute, then carefully tilt the lid away from your face to release steam before fully opening. Serve immediately.
💡 Chef's Tip
Use a large glass container — the kernels need plenty of room to pop. A few unpopped kernels at the bottom is perfectly normal. For a spiced version, stir in ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon before microwaving.
