Is popcorn the greatest snack on the planet? We’d have to argue yes. There are few things better or more American than curling up on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn and our favorite movie. One of the best things about this delicious snack is how easy it is to prepare.
Just pop a bag of kernels in the Sharp Stainless Steel Smart Carousel Countertop Microwave Oven (SMC1449FS) and use the pre-fixed popcorn setting for the perfect bag every time. This Microwave Oven Works with Alexa for hands-free operation using voice commands and is specifically tuned to achieve optimal popping results from the leader in microwave popcorn, Orville Redenbacher. Simply touch the “Popcorn” button to choose the Classic Size (3.3 oz) or Single Serve Mini Bag (1.16 oz) of Orville Redenbacher’s Microwave Popcorn or speak to your Amazon Echo device. Just ask Alexa, “Alexa, Microwave Classic Popcorn.” Then sit back and enjoy the light and fluffy popcorn with the delicious, buttery flavor of Orville Redenbacher’s Gourmet Popping Corn.

Something Mindful
Given our matcha obsession, it’s only natural that we would include a matcha-infused popcorn recipe. This recipe is super simple to make and perfect for the next time we want to add a healthy kick to our favorite snack so we can feel less guilty vegging out and eating popcorn. Pop a favorite bag of popcorn in the microwave and use the popcorn setting for cooking. Once all the kernels have popped, pour into a bowl and dust with matcha powder and a little bit of sugar. Stir to coat evenly and enjoy hot (better with a cup of matcha by our side, of course).
Something Sweet
Have you ever heard of the expression “let them eat cake” ? Some days we need something a little extra sweet. This popcorn recipe is sure to curb any sugar cravings and leave any sweet tooth satisfied—Cook the popcorn as directed and set it aside in a large bowl. Over medium heat, stir together marshmallows and butter, stirring constantly. Once the marshmallows have melted, remove them from heat and add some vanilla, milk, and cake mix. Pour mixture over popcorn and stir. Top with some sprinkles, and get ready to enjoy a sweet and nostalgic snack that rivals any birthday cake!
Something Savory
Sometimes we want a snack that packs a little punch. Popcorn in general seems to be viewed as a healthier snack option, but I’ve been known to sabotage that. I’m a huge sucker for super garlic-y buttery popcorn with salt. On those days when I am craving something zesty, this is the recipe I turn to. Start off by placing a bag of Orville Redenbacher’s Microwave Popcorn into your Sharp Stainless Steel Smart Carousel Countertop Microwave Oven (SMC1449FS), select the popcorn button, and pour into a large bowl once the cooking time is complete.
Then sprinkle a tablespoon of chili powder over top and mix so that the powder is evenly distributed. Squeeze some lime juice over the top and add a bit of lime zest from the rind. Mix and add a sprinkle of salt to taste. Kick back and enjoy this Southwestern-inspired snack.
