There's a fine art to micro-waving popcorn in a hotel room

The microwaves in this hotel are adequate, but tiny. There is not enough room for a full-sized bag of popcorn to rotate so there is some burning no matter what you do. The key to not evacuating the hotel with a false smoke alarm is to have the bathroon fan running. Then, as soon as the popcorn is done, carry it into the bathroom and open the bag right under the fan inlet so the smoke is removed before it can get into the room.
