    This might be controversial, but manual popped is better than microwave.

      I can’t imagine that’s controversial (I hope). Microwave is simply more convenient.

      I can’t think of a single thing that the microwave does better than it’s traditional counterpart.

      It’s pretty much understood that you’re going to give up a little bit of quality in return for time saving and convenience. That’s like the whole thing.

      I don’t even own a microwave (technically I do but it’s mothballed somewhere in my shed). I just cut the bag open and pour the content into a large cast iron pot with a lid.

        You should just get the popcorn kennels and pop them with oil. You can toss in the seasonings whenever, popcorn is very forgiving

        It’s a lot cheaper, plus the bag liners are one of the types of plastic that tend to leech a lot of microplastics
