  Either one; but just the part about stopping it when the popping slows. The time the microwave bags tell you to cook is based on a certain wattage and assumes you don’t have a sensor; but they also mention when to stop the microwave as general rule of thumb that doesn’t change if your microwave is more or less powerful.

  Like, if the bag says 3 minutes and you just let it go the whole time, you only followed half the instructions, ya know?

    Ok, I think we’re not really disagreeing, we’re just fighting about language.

    Yes if you follow the directions and pay close attention then you won’t end up with burnt popcorn.

    But a lot of the time the directions specifically say not to use the popcorn button, when you really should, so in that case following the directions will give you what you want but there is a much better way.
    When you said to actually follow the instructions, I thought you were more or less blanket agreeing with that part of the instructions too.

    So I think we were talking past eachother for a bit there.
