I burnt popcorn in microwave

[LindsayDunn228]

We always pop popcorn by hearing -- when the popping stops, we shut the microwave off, no matter how much time has gone by.

Ditto here. When there are about 3 seconds between pops, we take it out We always have a few kernals on the bottom, but my husband gobbles those

I posted this same problem several months ago. Sorry to say, we now have a new microwave. The smell never completely left and it made me gag every morning when I would come downstairs.

Hopefully with Black Friday coming up, you will find a good deal.

Same here, although now I'm allergic to something in the fake butter they use to cook it, so it's only airpopped with real butter for me these days.

Where I used to work there was a guy who burned popcorn in the nuke three times in one week. The smell permeated through the entire wing. Finally management bascially told him he was no longer allowed to use the microwave. He was a super smart computer programmer, but had the common sense of a door.

What's The Best Way To Get Rid Of The Burnt Popcorn Smell Out Of A Microwave?

A: We Turned To Heloise For The Answer To This One And She Says, Fill A Large, Four Cup, Microwave-safe Bowl With One Cup Water.

Then Add One Fourth Cup White Household Vinegar Or One Third Cup Lemon Juice And Allow This Mixture To Boil In Your Microwave For A Full Five Minutes. Do Not Open The Door Or Move The Bowl For 15 Minutes, So The Water Can Cool. Remove The Bowl And Wipe Out The Microwave.

Heloise Says, Leave The Door Open To Air The Oven Out, Open A Window Or Turn On An Exhaust Fan To Help Dissipate The Smell.

The smell of burnt popcorn gives me an INSTANT migraine.. I would literally have to leave the house until the smell was gone..

After you wipe out the micro, put a dish of baking soda in there and close the door.. Try spraying some room freshener around the kitchen or put a pan of water on the stove, add some cinnamon, and simmer..

Good luck! And I'm SOOOOOO glad I'm not at your house!! LOL
