How to make butter and oil free popcorn without an air popper?

I prefer to use the Presto Pop Microwave popper to an air popper. You do have to buy the concentrator - good for several uses. http://www.target.com/p/Presto-PowerPop-Microwave-Popper/-/A-10895564 I have used mine for years now. This recipe uses 2 tsp of oil (I'd never use olive oil, tho') http://www.ehow.com/how_7284268_cook-popcorn-paper-bag.html

Microwaveable Air-Popped Popcorn makes about 5 cups per bag, prep <1 min, cook time 2 min •3 tbsp popcorn kernels •paper bag •stapler or scotch tape if desired 1.Add popcorn kernels to a paper bag or a glass bowl. 2.Close bag. You can fold it over once or twice, you can tape it closed, or you can even staple it. We have tried all of these methods and they all work the same. If using a bowl, cover. 3.Microwave the popcorn as usual for approximately two minutes. I found that ours was usually done after about 1 minute and 45 seconds. By two full minutes the popcorn was starting to burn. 4.Open the bag, carefully if you plan to re-use it, and season to taste or eat plain. If using a bowl, handle it carefully as it will be hot. Season the popcorn once it is finished popping (or eat it plain like we do). What I like is this method is just as portable and convenient as the store-bought bags. Just portion out the popcorn kernels, staple the bags closed and store them in the pantry or in your desk drawer. Each bag has about 100 calories and no creepy ingredients! You can also use a glass bowl with a lid instead of the paper bag. Just place the popcorn in the bowl and then then place it in the microwave. Cover the bowl either with a glass lid or with a microwaveable plate (this just keeps popcorn from flying all over the microwave) and pop until there are two seconds between pops. The bowl will be hot so use a towel or mitts to handle it and transfer the popped popcorn to another bowl for serving.

They have poppers that work in the microwave now that start around $7.00. Just google... microwave popcorn maker. They work pretty well depending on the quality of the popcorn.
