Where’d you find it? I was looking in the wallymart ahead of a camping trip but couldn’t find it.
My Wally World has it. I don’t have a microwave, so I get it pretty regularly.
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!
That’s all great in its way but sometimes you just want to see that aluminum toque puff up and up
That’s so hard bro this way much easier
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.
Probably better for you anyway. Microwave popcorn is loaded with PFAS chemicals nowadays. It’s put in the liner of the bag.
I had to zoom in to make sure those weren’t delicious Reuben sandwiches underneath
Just a cotton dishcloth. (Pardon the hanging end, I am extremely lazy and weaving in ends is too boring for me.)
I’m going to be such an ass because it’s the wrong comm but you’re twisting your stitches. On the other hand, fab colours and a dishcloth is a dishcloth.
This is the most fun way to make popcorn if you don’t have one of those fancy things that’s cranked by a monkey.
I grew up with a hand-cranked popcorn maker. Then, in grad school, I realized that you don’t actually need any of that, just a pot with oil.
I heat up (medium) a tiny bit of neutral oil with a few kernels until they pop. Then I add ~1/4C neutral oil and ~1/3C popcorn kernels. When I can count to ten between pops I turn it off, empty in bowl, drizzle with olive oil and add salt and nutritional yeast (and MSG if you have it).
make sure it’s cooled off before you put your penis in it!
This guy, uh, thats.
Sure it’s fun, but why not just make popcorn in a pot? Less waste plus it’s as healthy as you want it to be.
My apartment doesn’t have a dishwasher, and I loathe hand washing dishes. It’s my lazy treat and I want that fake butter.
Mmmm. I have multiple ways to make popcorn, but Jiffy Pop has such a delicious and unique flavor and it’s fun AF.
Sometimes you just want to Jiffy Pop!
LOL! If you don’t wash the pot there will be no washing dishes. I have a designated popcorn pot that is just wiped out and left for the next batch.
If you don’t wash the pot there will be no washing dishes.
My college roommates:
I advise not doing that on the basis of gross. Use soap on a vessel after popping corn in it or transporting popcorn in it. It’s oil, starch, and steam without super high temperatures.
Yeah I found a page explaining how to make perfect popcorn like 10 years ago and it’s pretty easy.
You should stop. There are a lot of PFAs. Inside
Eh, I inhaled enough formalin in undergrad to not really need to care about things like BPA and PFAs.
As much fun to make as it is to eat
