Popcorn is by far my favorite food. I air pop it, then put real butter and salt on it.

How does everyone else here make it?

Cook it stove top in Corn oil then pour real butter over th top.

coconut oil is preferred... but costs too much.

Usually get the butter kind and add some of the flavoring sometimes. Orville Redenbocker has a kind that comes with a pouch that you can add more butter to it as well. Don't have the patience to air pop it really.

Last night on Discovery channel they had a special on corn and spent alot of time on Popcorn. They had alot of people from ISU on there as well as Jolly Time out in SC. It was pretty interesting...

I've got one of those stove top makers with the spinner on top. I cook in vegetable oil then top it with real butter, salt and a splash of lowerys. Not exactly a healthy snack.

Jolly Time is great. Favorite store brand. Im not just saying that because I liive here. Making it out of the pan is the best way to prepare it if you have the time.

Fan of microwave popcorn, extra butter :rolleyes:


Air popped was good way back when, but havent' had it in years... as for "real" popcorn done in a stirrer, lots of salt, sometimes butter. Occasionally like to try flavored salts but sodium salt is still #1

Something about the popcorn at Benchwarmer's...Love it.
Also a big fan of the chocolate covered popcorn that starts to appear this time of year.

I love using the popcorn from my uncle's fields. It tastes just as good. I add plenty of butter and salt.

I'm all for the WalMart brand microwave popcorn (whatever it is) with a ton of butter and then another ton of salt.

I make it in the stove top spinner top pan and use Canola oil, then add a good dose of butter and some salt. The key to adding awesome flavor is to NOT ever wash the popcorn pan and you will get flavor in the popcorn that no seasoning out there could match. Every Sunday night that is our family's supper and have some another day of the week as well.

Might have to have some tonight now......:yes:
