What's your method for making popcorn at home?



I picked “I HATE popcorn!” But really it’s my stomach that hates it.




I did microwave for years until someone suggested the stove, and now that’s my go to. Frankly, it’s almost as fast as the microwave and I get fewer burned kernels. Plus, I can customize the oil I use for extra flavor such as garlic infused EVOO. Yum!
It’s gotta be kettle corn from Shyrock’s corn maze in October or nothing. Sweet and salty. ![]()
Childhood memories is the air popper. Filling the bin, hitting the motor, and wait for the popping. When the air popper died, we did prepackaged microwave. So i am guessing the air popper just made ok popcorn. Don’t recall the taste, just sights and sounds.

Now I am hungry for popcorn. Woot, why do you torture me after midnight? Why?
I have a plastic bowl with vented lid that works in the microwave. I won’t use the commercial microwave packages.
Popcorn is towards the bottom of the list for best snacks. There are better options.
microwave, because I have no idea how to make kettle corn in oil or an air popper. Otherwise, I’d prefer oil and /or air popping…
Air popper with lots of melted butter. Yum.

Good ol’ microwave. You just have to listen to the frequency of pops or else you’ll burn it


Yep, I prefer the choice of quality oil and custom flavours you can do with the stovetop method.
Wish I had a glass lid.

Microwave, but not microwave popcorn bags.
I use a silicone popcorn bowl purchased from Woot. Then I found an easy microwave kettle corn recipe. The flavor is actually somewhere between kettle corn and caramel corn.
The first few times I used off-brand popcorn which tasted fine but left lots of unpopped kernals. Switched to Orville’s - much better results.

Popcorn
is one of my favorite snacks! I will eat it made pretty much any way. My son uses the microwave bags for simplicity. I pull out the air popper and yummy seasonings.
