    This guy gets it.

    Though I use Flavacol instead of salt and tajin - it’s exactly what movie theaters use.

      That fake butter will clog your arteries. Me, I have no detectable plaque in my heart. They looked for it over and over. My family has a history, too. I stopped eating trans fat in the mid 90’s, that’s probably why. I also ate no meat for 21 of the last 25 years. Just started eating bacon again this year. Once a month treat.

      Yup, via hydrogenated oils. Probably not too great for overall health, either. Old bacon grease was mainly what I was referring to, though.

      Eh, I don’t mean to nitpick or critique your diet though, and I apologise for my earlier, snarky comment. I posted it when a bit tipsy on strong beer, feeling kinda pettily self-righteous and all.

      Anyway, sounds like you’re taking care of yourself, so bravo to that. My family also has a ‘history,’ too, which is why I tend to try to be as alert as possible about diet. Peace out…

          When my wife first moved in she made me watch all of Little House on the Prairie. Ever since then popcorn has become a regular thing here. It’s a perfect low calorie snack.

          My standard is peanut oil and popcorn and a little bit of koshi salt on top once it’s done. I just use a standard pot for making mine because I’m not about to deal with a popcorn maker.

          Sometimes we’ll shave some red dark pepper chocolate just sprinkle on top. Sometimes my wife wants Raisinets in hers.

          Rarely I’ll use Bacon fat instead of peanut oil. On extra rare occasion I might use duck fat.

          We never put butter on it because we don’t tend to stock salted butter, although that is changing now that I’m making more sourdough. So maybe I will add some water to it in the near future.

          What are you doing with your popcorn?

          Thick iron pan, no grease, cover with pot, wait until popping stops. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Sometimes, I use a giant wok and salt fry them.

                  Bacon grease, and saturated fat in general, dont present a risk to health. They have been vilified for the damage sugar and industrial oils have done.

                    Popcorn is by far my favorite snack.

                    List of Ingredients:

                    Popcorn of course. I usually use locally grown red hulled popcorn, although lately I have two kids with braces so I’ve been using a “hulless” popcorn that is relatively safe to eat with braces.

                    Coconut Oil

                    Flavacol: The secret ingredient.

                    Finally the popcorn popper that I use is THIS ONE: It takes more attention than most other poppers, but it does a really great job

                        Aside from the specific popping corn, this is basically the same recipe I use. I use the Whirley Pop, but same difference. ~2tbsp of oil, ⅓ cup kernels, and a pinch of Flavacol (seriously be careful with that stuff - it’s crazy powerful). Melt the oil w/ the Flavacol in the popper with a couple kernels. Shake it around a bit to mix it up good. When they pop dump in the rest, shake it around again to coat the new kernels, and stir slowly. I like to top the popped corn with a bit of Greek Seasoning.
