Tried this.... but only a few corns have popped... remaining all started burning.... I have kept it in microwave for about 5 minutes... what to do?

Hi Shona, popping of the corns depends upon the quality of corns, as though there will be very few which will not pop. It is fine.. if that happens. But make sure you buy a good quality dry corn.. and mix it well with the melted butter before you microwave, and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes.
