The microwave that came with my house is the first time I’ve ever had a microwave that had perfectly working popcorn setting. It has never burnt a bag of microwave popcorn.

There's two popcorn buttons. One setting is just an average of time to pop the standard popcorn bag.

The other is a humidity sensor that stops the microwave once it senses a whiff of steam from the bag.

Great video on it below.

If someone has a non YouTube link I'll edit my comment to post that one.

Technology Connections is the best. I was hoping to see this video here.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work well in either a) dry climates and/or b) high altitude. We have to add about 45 secs to the popcorn mode or it stops short for us. Took a while to get that right.

Fortunately, this is normal at high altitude. Normal cooking rules don’t apply and always have to be modified. Lol.

No idea what your talking about. I live at 6,000 feet in a place with low humidity and the popcorn button on my microwave works perfectly.

I was looking for a comment linking this video and I second the recommendation.
