Quoted: Get the unpopped pop corn and pop them yourself. You could save a lot of money. A 2lb bag is something like $2-$3. I only use about 1/2 cup of corn, when I am making pop corn for me and my 2 children.
Yep, the high cost of corn is causing real economic pain in Mississippi/Louisiana area when they farm catfish. They are also being hurt by cheap imports from Vietnam and the PRC. |
I know this is gonna sound dumb, like 20 year old blonde girl dumb, but how do you pop popcorn other than in a microwave
I know they used to sell popcorn in those foil things you put on the stove, but how do you pop the corn you can buy loose in a jar |
pop corn machines | I use the Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper with 1 Real Theater Popcorn Kit- Silvertone Pan. I got it free from a neighbor who didn't want it anymore.
But in the old day prior to the Whirley-Pop, I just used an aluminum 12" frying, pour in half cup of pop corn seeds, heat on the stop until it start poping, pickup the pan and shake until no more popping. |
Thanks, I need to get one of those whirley pop machines, I love popcorn but almost always mess it up in the microwave. |
I highly recommend the Whirley-Pop machine, you can pop about 2/3 cup of unpopped pop corn max, just be sure that you have enough bowl(s) that will hold all of those popped kernels.
I put the real deal butter on my pop corn. I hate that artificial butter crap, that stuff smells nasty, but more or less taste like butter, but
Wikipedia - diacetyl has been implicated in causing respiratory ailments when heated and inhaled over a long period.
ETA: those hot air pop corn poppers aren't too good for me, they poop out after only a few uses, and they can't pop much either, only a handful of kernels.
