WTF is the popcorn button on the microwave for

[lilac05]

LOL! Do all packages say that? The popcorn button has never failed me.

You're not supposed to use the popcorn button? Oops.... My inner man keeps me from actually reading the directions, so I've never seen that before.

My popcorn button ALWAYS burns the popcorn.

I use mine, it doesn't burn, but I have to set it to the correct amount of ounces so it's probably just as much of a hassle as simply setting the timer itself.

I'm a rebel, I use the popcorn button anyway. I have never had any issues.

Ours never pops enough!  I always have to bump it up by at least 20 seconds!

Our popcorn button cooks about 18 seconds too long. Instead of just manually entering the correct time, I use the popcorn button and monitor it. Lol

Most people don't preset the popcorn button for the proper ounces so it either doesn't run long enough or runs too long and burns the popcorn.

I always use the popcorn button and it usually works fine for me. I do stand and listen to the pops though in case it does stop popping. Nothing worse than burned popcorn smell.

Our microwave is weird and I have to add 30 seconds to the time for the weight. But I love it. Leaves so few up popped kernels.

I've seen the mini popcorn bags that say not to use the popcorn button.

Mine is about 12 seconds too long. It starts beeping with 10 seconds left and that is when I stop it.
