Eco-popcorn popping
We make our popcorn in the microwave in brown paper lunch bags (which we then recycle after use). I put about 1/4 cup of popping corn in the bag, fold over th top and staple it shut (one staple is not enough metal to cause a problem) and pop it on the popcorn setting. This gives us the convenience of microwave popcorn without the teflon coating.
