Step 1 First...

Open the bag and pour the popping corn in. Carefully add your seasonings and salt. Shake gently. Now add the teaspoon of olive oil.

I am pretty sure this step is a mistake or at least, could be impproved upon..
I would highly recomend adding the oil to the kernels and mixing them up to ensure proper oil coverage prior to putting them in the bag.  This will avoid the big oil stain on the bag which could burn someone when they touch it after its been popped.

At least that is the way I have always made this when I discovered this methood in 1988.

Otherwise its a great instructabale.

I had minimal success. Burned in the middle. Used 1/4 cup popcorn, 1/4 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, seasoning. Shut down at 5 seconds between pops. Wished it had worked. Thanks for the suggestions.

You made my day! I make my popcorn the traditional way ( a pan over the stove) but I thought I could never win the wonders of microwave popcorn (ignorance is all, I thougt they had a special treatment to work in the microwave, duh!). With a little fear (the staple myth) I ran to the kitchen and tried your recipe. And here they are: wonderful perfect popcorn with no dishes to wash after. The bag broke (it was reused and maybe I filled it to much) but it didn´t matter, the joy is bigger. Thank you very much, you have made a vegan popcorn fan happy This is my fiist day in instructables and it already has given me a great deal.
