Do you make popcorn to watch your kinos?
If so, what do you use? Microwave, stovetop, air popper?

pic rel on the stovetop
I still like microwave popcorn but I don’t buy/make it that often because my microwave sucks ass at making it

>>212302350 (OP)
I was going to buy an air popcorn popper the other day but then i thought perhaps they are kind of shit without oil and didn't.

I get those bags of loose kernals from the store because they're cheap as fuck and you can recycle the unpopped kernels. Usually, I just put a handful into a lidded bowl with some olive oil and cook it for 4 minutes, then sprinkle on some seasoning from the spice rack.

Orville R and Pop Secret keep changing positions as the best (both suck now, really) microwave popcorn.

>>212302350 (OP)
im not really a big popcorn fan unless its cheese flavored or white cheddar. and even then i dont really like eating popcorn during a movie. it eat it too fast

>>212302350 (OP)
in a pot on stove, with coconut oil. clarified butter topping

>>212302673
Is it soggy and chewy?

>>212302350 (OP)
I use a variety of methods. Lately I've been using brown paper bags in the microwave and I spray it with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and use Morton's Lite Salt. It's pretty good.

>>212302727
only if you bathe it in butter

>>212302729
Sounds like that would catch fire or easily burn the popcorn. Don't you need some oil as a heat spreader?

>>212302761
It will burn if you leave it in for too long. 2 minutes is perfect in my microwave.

>>212302752
Also is the reason why you use clarified butter.
If you use normal butter it’s super soggy because of the water content

>>212302811
yeah, i try to duplicate how an old school popcorn stand did it

>>212302800
So like, are you just chucking a bag full of kernels into the microwave? No other preparations?

Microwave popcorn and flavocol salt

>>212302903
What kind of microwave popcorn are you using? Or are you just using kernels and a brown paper bag?
I feel that the regular microwave popcorn is salty enough and doesn’t need flavocol.

>>212302887
Yes. You take one of these fuckers, you put a layer of kernels one-kernel-high at the bottom, fold the top shut, lay it on its side and microwave for 2 minutes

>>212302903
Jesus Christ...

I got this thing for my birthday. I've never made popcorn on a stove before. Maybe I should

>>212303023
Huh. I'll try that.

Kettle corn is disgusting btw.

>>212303064
I tried stove cooking my kernels and the popcorn felt all chewy compared to when I microwave. It was a bit like overcooked meat. Too tough, no crispiness.

>>212302623
no air poppers here?

>>212303139
If I read the thread you have to use the right butter and not too much
Also I have induction, not an actual stove. I don't know if that will make a difference

>>212303172
I've got an air fryer, but I think bad things would happen if I filled it with kernels.

>>212303099
It’s okay.
It’s the same way as with Chicago mix popcorn where I can enjoy a small amount but I can’t crush a big bowl of it like I can with good ole salty buttery popcorn

>>212303139
>>212303176
Also could be keeping it covered on the stove for too long. The steam will make it chewy too.

my dad once tried to re-pop some microwave kernels and ended up melting the microwave door kek

>>212303312
What if I put the lid on slightly ajar?

Been going with this recently.

>>212303312
Steam huh? I don't think there's much water in there, but I guess it's something to consider.

>>212303363
microwaves cook by heating water, if there was no water microwave popcorn wouldn't work

>>212303322
Must have been a shitty ass microwave if the fucking door melted from a few minutes of use.

>>212303052
>serving size 1tsp
>better pour 1 cup on so it all tastes yummy!

>>212303332
Yea it could help
>>212303363
The popcorn has a bit of moisture inside that gets released when it pops.
I use >>212302520
It has some holes at the top that let some of the steam escape and you constantly spin the handle so you can get them popped all around the same time, then dump it out as soon as it finishes.

>>212303446
for me, it's fd&c yellow #6 lake

>>212302520
Do these work on convection stovetops?

>>212302664
It's impressive how not a single one of them managed to even accidentally be in step.

>>212303403
Not the whole door tho

>>212303568
I use gas and the thin aluminum one, but looking it up it seems there is a thicker stainless steel version that works better with induction tops.

>>212303800
Thanks. I'm glad you understood that I meant induction and not convection. It's new and I don't like it. Miss me gas.

on the stove with rapeseed oil with some salt sprinkled in after, healthy and filling

my microwave ends up just burning it or a quarter doesn't even pop

>>212303940
>a quarter doesn't even pop
Happens to me every time. I just recycle them. They pop eventually, or turn into little crispy seeds.

>>212302520
>manually stirring your popcorn
ENTER
>>212303940
good taste, salted popcorn cooked in a simple oil is prime

Popped the corn in Harvard yard

>>212303568
I have the stainless steel WhirleyPop from a Black Friday discount and it's pretty nice.

>>212302350 (OP)
Can you stop eating for fuckin 90 minutes, you fat pigs?? Gosh

Microwave popcorn is godawful. Always pop it on the stove and drench it in one of these.

>>212304555
>incredible bait, great advertisement too
now THAT's how you shill on 4chan fellas. Jeets take notes, I'm going to go buy some right now

>>212304547
I need the popcorn appetizer before the crab legs at my kinoplex

Hippie popcorn and never go back
>olive oil
>nutritional yeast
>onions sauce
>chili powder

>>212304685
>nutritional yeast
This shit is legit as a healthy cheese alternative that tastes good.

>>212304603
I don't know if that's the best brand, but it's the only one available around here.
