When the 'popcorn' button on the microwave is 3 seconds too long

It’s not quite as convenient, but I switched to making popcorn in a wok. It’s faster and way, WAY cheaper.
Where’s my air popper gang at
I’ve got that and a whirly pop. The whirly pop does better popcorn, but all I have to do to clean the air popper is shake it upside down. So we run about a cup of kernels through the air popper every night.
