No oil popcorn in the microwave

Though its half term, have cancelled all playdates/activities because the children still aren't 100%. Haven't been on a proper food shop for a bit, looking for some thing for the children to eat which isn't chocolate/sweets/cake. Finished our stock of cashewnuts/almonds/Wotsits/snack bars/Quavers. Found a bag of corn kernels from our last visit to the Indian shop. Remembered reading about popping with no oil in the microwave, tried it and, to use my 2 year old's words 'tadah'. Need to add some oil/butter for more taste and for the children, but this is 3 minutes and easy as chips.

Put a small handful of corn kernels in a glass dish and cover with a plate fully. Microwave on high for 3 minutes or until corn stops popping. Our micro is 950W.
Same thing with papad as well. 30 sec for 2 crisp oil free papads :)
Tomorrow we have a series of quotes from all and sundry for the new house and then one of the weekend days in Ikea if children well.
