Attack of the Nostalgia Monster
Thanks to a refresher lesson with my mom over the phone, I am no longer bound to snack on those fake-butter bullshit bags of microwave “popcorn.”
Yeah, back when I was a kid, we did it on the stove. On. The. Stove.
Just a thin coating of veg. oil on the bottom of the pan. Medium-low heat. Test with a single kernel: if little bubbles form all around it, the oil is ready. Add corn to cover bottom of the pan in a single layer. Cover. Shake. Listen.
Maxine
is veggie oil better than butter?

Dear Mistress Max,
I have never tried using butter. My concern would involve burning the milk solids. If you want butter flavor, why not just drizzle some on, post-pop?

Popcorn, icky.
