Pan? Pan, you say?
My kids’ friends think I am the strangest parent in the world because I cook my popcorn on the stove. But they don’t argue with the taste which is, imo, superior to the microwave variety!
Yes, pan. LOL It’s cheaper, I can use olive oil and as much salt/butter as I want.
‘Sides I’m out of the microwave stuff.
Just dug out my 20-year-old hot-air popper. Nice to get fresh, crisp, greaseless, perfect popcorn. I was going to use it for roasting coffee, but that “last batch” was just too good to smoke up the thing. Now I need another hot-air popper.
LOL!! Last year we, had to move in w/my Dad, house repairs, my SIL was over when I popped it in the “Corn Beef” pot. Suprised when I had put it in a brown paper bag.
Said was the best popcorn she ever had. Later she called to ask how it was made. Love and butter!!!
Hear hear! I buy a bag of plain kernels and then pop 'em with a dab of oil on the stove. It doesn't take long to make TONS of popcorn, they don't scorch, fewer unpopped kernels, and there's no crap in it whatsoever.
I never make 'em in the microwave anymore. It's convenient, yeah, but a waste of money and they aren't as good.
Hehe..I cook popcorn on the stove , too . Just got myself an 8 pound container of Orville Redenbacher’s Original here in Japan . I pop it in olive oil and sprinkle a little salt on top - no butter or margarine . This is the way my daughter and wife eat it as well . Even healthier !
can you IMAGINE how many people in this world didn’t even know you CAN make popcorn in a pan?!?!if they only knew what they are missing. mmmm-mmmm-GOOD!! it was the first thing i learned how to cook, way back in 19....oh nevermind.
