How can I achieve the best results when popping popcorn in the microwave?

To achieve the best results when popping popcorn in the microwave, use a microwave-safe bowl with a lid, place the kernels in a single layer, and cook on high for about 2-3 minutes or until there are 2-3 seconds between pops. Be careful when removing the bowl as it may be hot, and enjoy your freshly popped popcorn!
