Obtain raw popping corn kernels. In a medium saucepan with a lid, lay down enough kernels to cover the pan’s bottom. Then add just enough oil to cover. Heat on medium-low to medium heat. Make sure to do this with the pan’s lid on. Now simply wait for the kernels to pop. Audibly monitor the popping rate of the kernels. When popping slows, remove from heat. Add toppings and serve.
Experiment with different oils. Canola and peanut are good starting points. But even olive oil has its own nice flavor profile to it.
Save yourself some money, learn the skill, and open up an entire universe of popcorn discovery. Try different oils. Try frying in butter. Try using different varieties of popping corn. Experiment with different cooking temperatures and thresholds of completion. A whole world awaits you. Put away the Jiffy-Pop and see what wonders await!
Yeah, it takes a little bit of effort, but no more time than using jiffy pop. You’re paying more, generating a bunch of waste, and not saving any time.
My Wally World has it. I don’t have a microwave, so I get it pretty regularly.

Probably better for you anyway. Microwave popcorn is loaded with PFAS chemicals nowadays. It’s put in the liner of the bag.
