How do you prepare popcorn?

[Nola Palomar]

I use a pot with olive oil. When popped I salt it then add butter.

[David K o l i n]

Pop in homemade ghee (a bit browner than commercial) + salt. Sometimes other additions (Parmesan; herbs), but not often

[dteng]

Truffle salt.
Full stop.

We use this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NF ... UTF8&psc=1 with organic coconut oil, salt and Amish popcorn.

[Eric Ifune]

Don't use olive oil. I like neutral oil. Popped then put into a brown paper grocery bag, add butter and salt and shake.

[Bdklein]

I use a Whirley popper . Makes a big difference .
I use a little coconut oil and then a bunch of ghee.
Flavocol (what is used in movie theaters) for salt.
For popcorn, a balance of white and yellow (no brand preference)-no brand preference .

[alan weinberg]

pop on stovetop in canola oil, then salt.

[John Davis]

Stove top, canola oil, sometimes plain microwave or hot air. Always top with butter, sometimes add hot sauce and/or part. Oh, and black pepper sometimes. A great passed/casual appetizer is popcorn with crumbled bacon (2-3 strips) and black pepper.

The view from flyover country...

StirCrazy w canola oil, topped w melted butter and salt.

[C. Mc Cart]

Whirley-pop with a tablespoon or two of coconut oil, then into a big steel bowl and tossed with melted salted butter.

[Bdklein]

For those who top with butter, does the popcorn get “wet”? And do you like it?? If not , I suggest you try cooking with ghee.

[Kyle Whitney]

Too much oil. Hot air popping for me.

I use the Whirley Popper and neutral oil. Usually canola. Ghee is the best addition to this combination. We use whatever popcorn is available in the house.

[Brian G r a f s t r o m]

Stovetop with grapeseed oil.

Then toss with butter or truffled oil. Salt or whatever other dry seasoning/spice strikes my fancy at the time.

[Matt Allen]

Whirly Pop with neutral oil; microwave butter; shake popcorn in paper bag with melted butter and salt

[T Welch]

Sous vide, of course.

[Bdklein]

And periodically stop at a movie theater and buy it-without seeing a movie .

[Jorge Henriquez]

Sous vide, of course.

How many hours?

[Michael Sopher]

stove top, avocado oil, salt and roasted garlic powder (Penzey's) or truffle salt.

Will have to try it with ghee

[Jay Miller]

I remember many years ago Keith Levenberg suggesting ground sichuan peppercorns and thinking I had to try it. But I never did

This sounds GREAT.

[Randy Bowman]

I was a wanna be connoisseur of popcorn back in the day. Various oils. Various add on's like cheese, chocolate, caramel and candy coatings. Now, this:

It is good, we’ve done it for a few parties.

I love the "whole grain" and "gluten free"

[Nola Palomar]

[Betty C]

Sous vide, of course.

How many hours?

And do you finish it on a hot grill?


The husband is the popcorn connoisseur. He prefers a little olive oil on the StirCrazy, and seasoned with truffle oil & truffle salt. Every so often I take a block of Parm and a Microplane to it too.

Semi-related - Rancho Gordo's popcorn is excellent (and really well priced for the quality vs. grocery store popcorn), we buy about six bags at a time, which lasts maybe a couple of months in our house!

Airpopper, then add some melted butter and salt.
