We just started doing this since we heard bad things about the microve popcorn bags. It really does work! After I just spray butter on top and add salt.

This worked out great for us. Trying to not eat the microwave bagged popcorn and tried this one. I used canola oil and added 1 tsp melted butter after popping and it tasted fine. Will try adding other seasonings.
