Popcorn makers
96SC:
When I was much younger we would make popcorn on the stove top.
We'd melt enough butter to cover the bottom of the pan about 1/16 of an inch (not like you're frying chicken) Then pour popcorn kernels one layer thick on the bottom of the pan. Seems like we used medium to medium/high heat.
Let it heat until the first kernel popped, then would cover the pan tightly and fairly often shake the pan to keep the kernels that had popped from burning on the bottom of the pan.
When the kernels didn't pop anymore (just like microwave p-corn) we'd take the pan off the stove top.
Then we'd pour the popped corn into a paper bag (paper bag? see it was a long time ago) and add salt and butter(how much? I'd have to be there to show you).
Very simple, no special equipment or cooking medium. You may have trouble finding a paper grocery bag though.

I had a Whirley Pop. I sold it at the last rummage sale. I hated it because it would TAKE FOREVER on an electric stove. I now use an electric popcorn maker that stirs the kernels. Kind of like a commercial one then you flip it over into its own bowl. I use the Orville Redenbachers popcorn oil in it. I used the same oil in the Whirley Pop.

Remember those air poppers? We've still got one from the early 1980's- it was a wedding gift. Talk about blah popcorn. It tastes much better popped in hot oil of some type.

I got one as a high school graduation gift, and with that along with a mini-fridge and TV, my roommates really liked having me around ::) We were slightly nutty health freaks (I've toned it down A LOT). I'd spray a tiny bit of water on the popcorn with a very fine mister so that salt would stick to it. No butter.
I cannot believe that I liked it, but it was my main studying food.
IdahoGuy:
Have you tried this
In one of these
Works great! Everything's pre measured and you can get them with either coconut oil or sunflower oil....for the health conscious.
