"Burnt popcorn"

I don't know about stove top popcorn, but when my husband and I make it in the microwave, we wait until it only pops every couple of seconds, and then we know to take it out before there is a burn. We don't trust the automatic popcorn setting on the microwave, we want to hear for ourselves when it's ready. He's a bit older than I am, and might remember how to make it on the stove. LOL I'll send this discussion to him and see what he says.

OPEN the Windows and put a fan in front of it....there is nothing worse then the smell of burnt popcorn! I feel for you!!!! Hope you get the smell out soon...it seems to linger for some reason!

Scented candles and/or some cleaner with vinegar added helps a lot. But popcorn smell be it burnt or not seems to stick around a long time for some reason. I also boil some water on the stove and add cinnamon to it as an air freshener at times for food odors. Vanilla flavoring works well too in boiling water or some good natural oil like vanilla or lavendar in a potpourri burner. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I haven't really tried that except when something turned bad and we just let it be since our home is pretty much 'air' all over. However, I could remember how our painters would light candles around a vicinity in order to vanish the paint odors, they'd also put coals in corners and also vinegars in saucers. I don't know if that could help but you could try. Good luck!

Hmm, I think that's happened before but I don't remember if I was the one making it or not. Lol, not trying to blame it on anyone else. Don't know of any good ways to get the scent out, except for maybe using a candle!

I much prefer doing it on the stove IF AND ONLY IF I can use the old theatre coconut oil. It hasn't been available on the market for about 25 years since all the bull came out about cholesterol from the surgeon general. For those of you oldsters, that's what professionals and movie theatres used and it has a flavour totally unlike other oils. I used to buy it at Sam's club, but it hasn't been around since the '70s.

i hate bad spells i hate the odor microwave popcorn leaves in the house also. if u can let some fresh air in that will help alot. i use room spray. scented oils anything that will make my house smell good. good luck.

My hubby always burns popcorn. He just can't even touch the bag or it burns it seems lol. So I am all to familiar with this but burnt popcorn and popcorn smells linger like no tomorrow so I have no advice on that but oils, candles air freshner, open the door as you said you did.

It's been years since I've made pop corn on the stove, but both my huaband and I can sure burn the pop corn in the dang microwave. My momma used to put coffee grains in a small bowl and sit it out for a few days, it seems to absorb it. I've seen this method used in high end perfume stores. They have bowls, and little dishes of it sitting out to absorb the smell and also for you to take a whiff of the coffee grains between smelling perfumes because clears your nose so you can get a full whiff. Best of luck! Hope the second batch goes better!

Turn on the exhaust and open windows.

my son did that once when he made microwave popcorn and put it on too long. we had to open the windows and it took hours to get rid of the smell. what a bad smell that is!
