This is not to be trifled with. BEST POPCORN EVER: Purchase popcorn kernels. Heat up olive oil in medium-ish pot (with matching lid). When it juuuuust starts to smoke, pour in kernels to almost cover bottom. Pop. Take off heat. Dump in big bowl. Pour melted (sweet, lightly salted) butter. Sprinkle with Kosher salt.

You wanna come over? Bring some kernals.
How I make my popcorn?
I get Orville Redenbacher and put some in the pan. I then throw a little organic coconut oil and let the corn start popping.
Put it in a bowl and throw some Celtic Sea Salt on it and I’m good to go! Yeah, buddy! YUM!
You just made my mouth water. :)
Thanks-I’ll have to try that.
Olive oil!? Blech! (scrapping tongue) Coconut oil RULES! Long ago, all movie popcorn was made with coconut oil until The Fats police (wrongly) maligned coconut oil.
I have a popcorn pan with the crank to make our popcorn on our gas stove. I salt ours with finely ground salt after coating the popcorn in rich butter we get from the local Amish.
My version of kettle corn
In a "Stir-Crazy' popper I place 1/4 cup coconut oil and three kernels to start. When the three kernels pop (oil is then ready).I place a premixed (3/4 cup popcorn kernels + 1/4 cup brown sugar + 1/4 teaspoon salt = for salty/sweet taste) into popper. When finished popping, dump popcorn into another bowl, stir slightly to break up some clumping. Easiest to clean popper while still warm.
Noticed that using white sugar taste is similar to popcorn balls, while brown sugar is akin to kettle/caramel corn...enjoy
