popcorn is incredibly easy to make in a pot with a little oil.
- vsnf 3y agoVery hard to get the salt and butter distribution correct, though. Packaged popcorn always tastes better.
- _yb2s 3y agoJust add salted butter. If in doubt add a lot more. No way can the bags compete with a massive amount of good quality salted butter.
- mistercheph 3y agoYes, and hershey's is the best chocolate bar That's right folks, come on down, get some for yourselves! No one can beat that secret recipe flavor we've been cooking for over 9 yards and 18 minutes. Been a family secret for over 10 and a half generations folks! We promise you, no one can beat that original flavor folks!
- prawn 3y agoPackaged popcorn has an awful mouthfeel (the "butter"?) in my experience.
- EasyMark 3y agowhat is hard about adding some salt and then shaking it? I've never had a problem with salt and butter distribution. Maybe you should look up some youtube videos on the best pans and techniques for making stovetop popcorn.
- vsnf 3y agoMan, tough crowd here with strong opinions on homemade popcorn. Alls fair in the arena of opinion but I’m tellin’ y’all, a bag of Redenbacher is easy, reliable, and absolutely delicious.
- hirvi74 3y agoI have an air popper, and it works amazingly well. I have had the same one for over a decade too. No oil is required, which is nice, since my preference for butter is hardcoded in my Southern DNA.
- kevin_thibedeau 3y agoAir poppers in the modern era typically used teflon coatings.
- pierat 3y agoWhich is more PTFE fluorinated shit that comes off in particulate in your food. I would understand using fluorinated compounds in rare stuff, like medical instruments. But that shits even in paper straws.
- hirvi74 3y agoI think mine is stainless steel or some kind of steel, but I could absolutely see that being true.
- b112 3y agoYou say that as if it's a bad thing. Teflon should have never, ever ever have been released for use in pans. The documentation on it is 100% correct, it is completely inert, completely safe, completely OK... as long as it doesn't exceed a specific temperature. Once that temperature is breached, the coating changes chemically. It off-gasses (and, for example, killing any canary near the kitchen). The teflon coating is no longer safe, that same chemical change has modified its chemical structure. And at that point, cooking on it means your food is now laden with those chemicals, and any flake of teflon you ingest is dangerous as well. This is why using teflon in pans is just insane. The approval process presumed that no one would let a pan get too hot. What?! As if no one might get distracted by an emergency with a child, a phone ringing, someone coming to the door, and BAM!, the pan > 500F for a minute, and becomes death. But conversely, things such as bread makers, and popcorn makers are sensible uses for teflon! They have internal thermostats, and often cannot easily even get to 500F. They won't cause this chemical change, and so are good and safe for this purpose. Of course, I don't blame you for disliking teflon. I think it was absurd that it was approved for use in normal frying pans.
- balderdash 3y agoIt’s funny, I get buying things that save a bunch of time (bread for example) - but it literally takes about the same amount of time to make popcorn on the stove as it does to microwave it, and the quality is much better (well really just using real butter makes it so much better), that I’m perplexed as to why anyone would bother with the microwave stuff
- prawn 3y agoAlso very easy to carry bulk kernels and then cook them on a fire while camping.
