Popcorn
ad
Recently had some family over. To my surprise they were shocked that we made our popcorn on the stove and didn’t have the microwave bags. It then turned into a debate of which was better, which then led to a trip to the store to buy the opposing teams brand of microwave popcorn. Curious on what the crowd chooses here.
Edit: we make popcorn with vegetable oil in the cooking pot, then lathered in real butter and sprinkled in sea salt.’

Over the stove any day of the week!!!
Popcorn is very important when dealing with trolls.
Hahaha.. if only I could set up an eroids popcorn stand. I’d be rich!!
Talk to BFG and take out a source tag.
You should be golden.
basskiller89Skinny Pop family sized bags lol
Yeah I walked by the skinny pop and grabbed a bag of Blue Diamond almonds at the pharmacy yesterday.
If I want popcorn, I need the good stuff :-)
Yeah I like to make it with my popper with real butter instead of oil, sometimes toss some grated cheese in it after it’s popped. If I’m feeling lazy I will toss a bag of Orvels Movie theatre in the nuke. Can’t beat the old fashioned way though. I remember the old jiffy pop it was good too but I was still in elementary school so what did I know.
Never bought an air popper it taste like compost without salt and butter.
Dang I’m hungry again!
Never seems like the bowl is big enough!! lol
I have an air popper. Hands down best way to make it. Then dump some melted butter on it. Real damn butter too
I agree with the real butter. My kids like watching the air popper. We must have bad luck with them. Burned 2 or 3 of them out.
Still on the first one. Had it for like five years. Pop up a bowl or two a week.
My kids always loved the popcorn that came in the little metal pan and the foil dome would expand as it cooked. I think they just liked to watch the foil expand tho. I’m a homemade popcorn guy myself.
Hello Sir,
Think I am the only lazy one on here, I would pop around the local cinema and grab a large one, probably not the best option but definitely the quickest one and the most convenient.
Regards
Heck popcorn at the cinema is around $20 a large bag now isn’t it? Lol
Definetly pop your own
Heat up mac oil in pan with a lid. Then add kernels put lid back on listen for when it stops popping. Take it out
I use spray butter - icantbelieveitsnotbutter- and sea salt
I’m all stovetop myself. I just think it’s much better.
And my 8 year old daughter showed me this one
‘A report from the FDA indicates that a chemical coating used in microwave popcorn bags breaks down when heated into a substance called perfluorooctanoic (PFOA). ... Another study has found an acid that can be extracted from the chemical causes cancer in animals and is “likely to cause cancer in humans.” -https://www.care2.com/greenliving/dangers-of-microwave-popcorn.html
They talk more about another chemical in the fake butter flavoring causing lung disease in the factory workers bagging it.
We’ve bought all the hot air poppers and junk over the years, but there’s nothing like making it on the stovetop.
Scary shit in those bags. Plus anything with that long of a shelve life cant be good for you!
I think we have burned through 2 or 3 air poppers in the last few years. We get them as gifts. Stove top is the tried and try method in our house. I like to apply the less is more principal in my life. Air popper equals one more appliance we have to store.
These days storage space is getting tight. Because we need all these kitchen aide and tachmdnts that we only use on major holidays. Lol. I’m happy with the old pot.
Sunflower oil (then butter but onlybaftwr the popcorn is cooked!) and sea salt
Almost the same over here, bar oil choice
Far superior to packs which usually use lard or a margerine sort of substance and shitty salt
There's your problem right there, You need to cook popcorn in coconut oil
Too expensive but it is probably healthy.
Not really. It's the reason movie theater popcorn tastes so good
Hmm I had to google it :-) your right and it’s good.
You can teach an old dog new tricks.
I thought they used canola oil like all the other big businesses have been using, that stuff is nasty It has ruined my favorite French frys.....
Wonder if you can cook it in MCT oil?
Macadamia oil
I have a skillet oil popcorn and some butter but how do you keep them from popping all over I might have to try it
We use a big pot with a lid. No mess.
Got ya I don't have a lid I'll just get a ping pong paddle and have to bat them back in lol
You can use tin foil instead. Keep the pot moving so the popped kernels don’t burn on the bottom.
Lmao now I kinda feel stupid from my last comment I really didn't think about foil hahaha
lol.. your way sounds more entertaining then mine, other then the mess!
RustyhookerNothing beats the home cooked pop corn. Those micro packs get the job done but the fake butter chunks cant compare to real stove top.
My son's girlfriend bought him these mini packs like single size they work great you just pop them in the microwave
RustyhookerThey are quick! Just something nostalgic about the big pot though.
I concur. Plus watching the kiddos lite up making popcorn is all more worth the while. I even prefer homemade over theater.
