Nuked, Blown, or Pot

How do you like your popcorn? I just bought a popcorn maker and I have to say I am in love! I like the way it makes popcorn. I don't burn my hands the stove ones like I always do. It doesn't burn half and leave the other half unpopped like the microwave and it is just as fast as nuking. Plus less oils and salts for my health. How do you like your corn?

Movie theater popcorn is so good, but so bad for you. My son always loads it up with salt too. He will go through a giant thing of popcorn almost by himself at the movies.

For years I was buying bags of microwave popcorn, but my son was eating so much of it that it got expensive. I bought him an air popper. He thought it was the coolest thing. About a year ago I made it for him on the stove for the first time. He has been hooked on it that way ever since, naturally that is how I cook it now.

I use an air popper to pop my popcorn. I love it! It is definitely a healthier way to pop popcorn. Though my family and I haven't had popcorn in months! I guess I better start doing so again as it is such a good treat to have. :)

We have a popper, haven't used it in a long time. It is the way to go. I will use the microwave type though when I am in a hurry.

I love my popcorn popped in a heavy kettle in oil and butter. I almost always pop our popcorn with air popcorn popper though. It is so much better for us. Every once i awhile though I go hog wild and pop it in oil and smother it in butter.

You go hog wild all you want LOL It is better to air pop it yeah, but now and then we all gotta treat ourselves. Thanks

I am back to the old pot on the stove. I had a hot air popper and found it made my popcorn kinda dry. Then I had this big stove top contraction that had a handle on top to stir the kernels, that was great but I lost it in one of my moves. I can't cook microwave popcorn due to the fact that my hubby hates the smell and when I do it at work people complain, I just can't win. So back to the old stove top route. I love popcorn and I think this discussion is leading me towards the stove!

None of the above. I do not like stand popcorn. I hate how it gets stuck in my teeth. And those little unpopped kernals- ever bite into one of them? Yikes! Of course my kids like it, but I rarely buy it- when I do, we nuke it.
