Sprinkle on some Parmesan cheese.
I just use a new hot air popper. Theone I have now does not leave unpopped kernels (or at least not many). You can add butter so the salt will stick. I do not add butter but take the salt left over at the bottom of the pan and recycle it into the next batch.
“ I’m actually going to try this tonight with Kerrygold butter...”
I was intending to cut down on bread and butter.
Then I found better butter.
Damn you, Kerrygold!
Yeah, but for a buck fifty you can get enough bagged kernels to pop up a half a pickup load of popcorn. lol :)
Yeah, but when AOC put a potato in the microwave, she was disappointed because she pressed the "pizza" setting, but when the microwave ringed, it was still a potato.
“partially popped” kernels..
Called parched corn, my father used to make it in a
frying pan from field corn with salt.
It’s what they had in the country.
“Viewers were largely blown away, with many commenting that they’d always assumed there was some sort of “special ingredient” in store-bought popcorn that helped it pop in the bag.”
This is a “hack”? And next... she will summon fire from this Bic lighter.
Morons are easy to entertain.
We’ve been making popcorn this way for a couple of years.
We put a little oil in a small bowl and put the popcorn in and get a little oil on each kernel, then put them into the bag before popping. It works well.
I’ve never tried to put butter in the bag though.
Try bacon grease {if you like bacon}.
Not recommended for mooselimbs.
You can also make “microwave” popcorn without a microwave. Just cut the bag open and dump it into a pot on the stove. Its like “magic”. </whoa!>
Put a cup of water in microwave and cook for one minute, remove and put the bag of popcorn in. The heat and humidity do something that helps. These instructions are actually on some boxes of store bought microwave popcorn. I agree that store bought popcorn needs 30 or 45 less seconds than recommended. I’d rather have a few unpopped kernels than a burnt bag of popcorn.
Everyone old is new again. My mother put popcorn in a paper bag and popped it in the microwave years ago. It’s amazing all these “new” discoveries that are called “hacks”, but are not. They are simply something some people didn’t previously know about.
I especially love the ones that are called newly discovered easy cleaning “hacks” that call for baking soda to be mixed with dish-washing liquid to get something sparkling clean. I’ve been doing that for 40 years. Baking soda cleans Pyrex cookware like nothing else. LOL
I have a silicone popper for the microwave, washable, reusable and collapses almost flat for storage.

I second the silicone popper. Easy and pops the corn well. Use olive oil in place of butter.
Have you seen the cost of paper bags to pop it in?
I knew this, forgot it, rarely have popcorn but it’ll be fun and tasty to surprise the little lady!
Good post - thanks.
Also “recipe” bump. ;-)
Dang!
Y’all are brutal critics today...
LOL
I was actually at the store this morning and was going to buy that microwave popcorn but, decided against it.
I come home and find this handy article and Voila!!!
Life changing...
Damn that Cornpop!
I do this or cook on stove like Jiffy Pop for my kids. I call it “the free snack” bc the popcorn kernels cost nothing.
Listen to your popcorn. If you don’t hear a pop for 3 seconds, stop.
