How do you prepare popcorn?
I use a pot with olive oil. When popped I salt it then add butter.

Re: How do you prepare popcorn?
Pop in homemade ghee (a bit browner than commercial) + salt. Sometimes other additions (Parmesan; herbs), but not often

Re: How do you prepare popcorn?
Don't use olive oil. I like neutral oil. Popped then put into a brown paper grocery bag, add butter and salt and shake.
Re: How do you prepare popcorn?
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 .

Re: How do you prepare popcorn?
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.

Re: How do you prepare popcorn?
Whirley-pop with a tablespoon or two of coconut oil, then into a big steel bowl and tossed with melted salted butter.

Re: How do you prepare popcorn?
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.

Re: How do you prepare popcorn?
Too much oil. Hot air popping for me.
Re: How do you prepare popcorn?
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.

Re: How do you prepare popcorn?
Stovetop with grapeseed oil.
Then toss with butter or truffled oil. Salt or whatever other dry seasoning/spice strikes my fancy at the time.

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

I remember many years ago Keith Levenberg suggesting ground sichuan peppercorns and thinking I had to try it. But I never did ![oops [oops.gif]](./images/smilies/oops.gif)

Re: How do you prepare popcorn?
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:

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.

Re: How do you prepare popcorn?
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!
