I understand that there are special sealed containers of popcorn suitable to cook in a microwave. Apparently, there are instructions on the label.

Why does steam come out of a fresh bag of popcorn?
Popcorn pops because of the water content in the kernels. Heating the kernels, whether by microwave or by some other means, turns the water into steam, which expands and breaks the kernels. Admittedly, this is a small amount of water, but it doesn't take much steam, to pop a kernel.
