It's faster and cleaner than any other method I know!
It doesn't have to be in paper. ;) We usually do it in a pyrex glass bowl. We have this *microwave cover*, which is a cover you put over whatever you are heating in the microwave. If we put fresh un-popped popcorn *seeds* in a glass pyrex bowl, and cover it with the microwave cover (which has a small hole in it), the popcorn turns out perfect. We never buy the packed butter popcorn....always make it fresh, and in the microwave. :D Then if we want, we add butter and salt, but we usually make it for the birds, and in that case, we add nothing. Its actually pretty good without the butter and salt too....and much more healthy.
