Bah!!! I never knew about the bursting into flames thing! I have noticed that sometimes the bag gets oily before it's done popping but I only let half of the kernels pop when I remove it from the microwave. I shall have to try the stove kind. My sister used to make it but she always used a lot of oil. Can you make it will olive oil or does it have to be canola oil?

I thought Olive oil could not stand all the heat needed to pop corn but I googled it and folks are sucessful, usually using med-high heat.

I do this occasionally(despite owning an air popper).
When I do, I don't use oil in the bag, though. Just popcorn kernels and a paper bag.

Afterwards, I use a mister to spray a bit of olive oil and sprinkle some sea salt.

Instead of having the bag on its side I did this with the bag straight up the other day. I used 1/2 of popcorn vs. 1/4 cup. It worked great, but the bag broke since it couldn't expand as much. If I do this again I'll lean towards 1/4 cup.

Never had a bag burst into flames. Though I have had popcorn burn when I'm not watching it. Now I always just watch it at the end of the cycle and I don't have any problems.
