purposes.
Q. Can I pop popcorn in the microwave oven? How do I get the best results?
A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer's guidelines or use the preprogrammed

slows to a "pop" every one or two seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use
special microwave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturer's directions. Do not pop
popcorn in glass cookware.
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
