Yes, you can pop mushroom popcorn in the microwave and now, with the microwave popper it's easier than ever.
In the interest of full disclosure however, usually the resulting popcorn is not as big and fluffy as when you use a pot or Whirley Pop Popper to pop the popcorn on the stovetop.
Also, one other thing to remember, though nearly every kernel of our gourmet popcorn will pop when you pop it on the stove, that is not the case when microwaving it (nor is it the case with any microwave popcorn).
When you are popping popcorn in the microwave, you should always remove it when the popping SLOWS, and not wait for the popping to stop. If you wait for the popping to stop, you will consistently find yourself burning your popcorn and in some cases, setting your microwave on fire. As a result of stopping when the popping slows, you will have left over kernels. |
