A SNACK-TIME RENAISSANCE

Many kitchens are acquainted with the staccato of microwave

popcorn. Due to its commercialization in the last half century,

slather, sprinkle, and drizzle with a wide range of experimental

ﬂ avors. Others substitute the kernels for croutons in soup or

add extra crunch to their favorite baked goods. No matter if

you are simply popping a bag for an at-home movie night or

investigating the versatility of this beloved snack, the Popcorn

Mode will deliver airy, habit-inducing results.
