You guys like Popcorn ?

[HALLETT BOY]

For years I’ve eaten microwaved popcorn and always get a stomach ache about half way through . I look at the ingredients and can’t even pronounce them . I see this silicone bowl that you put just popping corn in , right to the little line , pop it for about 2:45

in microwave, melt some butter , salt to taste , Happy days are here again . You would not believe the flavor .

We have always used a hot air popper.

Not sure how I feel about silicone from CHI-NA in the microwave

Hot air popper for the win

 

[wzuber]

We just use a brown paper bag with regular poping corn, a little oil and into the micro until it just about stops popping. Butter and salt to taste as desired. Quick n easy. Tasty too.

Old school iron pan with season oil and a lid. Duh

I was gifted one of these about 20+ years ago & loved it.
Finally bit the dust last year & bought another.
Frankilns Original Whirley Pop.
But don't try their butter flavored coconut oil . . . you'll be ruined.

I’m gonna try that. We’re still primitive and throw some vegetables oil and Orville Redenbacher in a pan on high heat and done in 5 minutes. I like the half cooked kernels the best. My wife calls them Old Maids.

Find a Costco business and get that Orville really good popcorn 3 pounds in a container for about $12 sometimes even have it on eBay

Thanks for the memories !
I remember taking those to the beach as a kid for after surf sessions.
Wrap my hand in my beach towel and hold it over the fire pit !!!!

Pop Secret Homestyle. Crack in a bag. I add cracked pepper to it.

 

[Tank]

It’s true. Real Popcorn kernels from skratch really taste better. Air popper or
Old school
In a pan with a. Little
Oil.

The stuff is the ticket to making your popcorn taste like you're the movies, go easy though as you can overdo it real quick.

 

[bilz]

I use a cast aluminum pot. I pop corn at least twice a week.
Unless the dude on the corner has his kettle corn and cheese popcorn

You store eggs unrefrigerated??

 

[lbhsbz]

Whatever you do….don’t buy one of these popcorn machines from Amazon or you’ll end up living on pop corn until you throw it away….

 

[lakemadness]

You store eggs unrefrigerated??

As long as they're fresh - as in not previously refrigerated. When we had chickens we took the eggs from the nesting boxes, cleaned em off and put em out on the kitchen counter.

You'll never have better eggs period.

 

[Outdrive1]

Eggs straight from the chicken have a coating on them, and they don’t need to be refrigerated. The ones in the store get washed, that removes the coating, they have to be refrigerated.

Whirley Pop

I use blend of light in flavor olive oil, butter and coconut oil then salt to taste.

Microwave popcorn =

 

[rivermobster]

This in a stainless pan. Get the oil shimmering and then throw the corn it.

I think what ruins popcorn is letting it sit in cold oil while it heats up? Just be ready with the lid as soon as you throw it in.

 

[ChumpChange]

Yep. Probably less than a day old there. And people already answered the question why. But yes, we have chickens. Phenomenal tasting eggs. Farm fresh.

 

[Looking Glass]

Coconut Oil!!

That was the program at Eliminator for years back when.
My kids would go with me to work on weekends sometimes, Bob was always giving them some.

One time I did some microwave corn at home.
Daughter ate some and said “This isn’t nearly as good as Bobs popcorn”

I think she was 8 years old then

@shueman used to be a Pop master at the Big E as well

 

[traquer]

Napa in Brea had a popcorn machine by the front door, that was the best auto parts store I kinda miss it.

I got my dad one of those microwave things, like the one pictured at the bottom of the first post.

They don't work that well, i ended up getting him a hot air popper and it works way faster and doesn't overcook the corn.

Jolly Time was hull less and popped up robust with lots of flavor.
Long since replaced by a hybrid that is neither.
Worst on the market now is Redenbachers.

Exception is the Popcorn cart in DCA is fresh popped and they make the kettle corn fresh at the spot too.
Really good.
I have no clue why, I never ask but the girl always gives me mine for free saying "It's on the mouse."

My wife is the popcorn master and this is what she uses exclusively, she's been using Orville products for the last 20 years and swears by them. I'm not complaining one bit.
