mark1101 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Act 1.........movie theater butter...............nobody gets out of here alive anyhow. OT. I still have not figured out how my microwave knows the difference between the bigger multi-serving bag and the smaller individual bags. The unit has just 1 popcorn button but it figures out what you put in there and adjusts the time and intensity level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 If you drizzle olive oil or butter on the air popped salt will stick to it. Using the right amount of oil in skillet popped corn will also get salt to stick to it. Yea, but that defeats the purpose of air popping. Just make it in oil if you are going to pour it over the top, it will tast better (but eventually kill you). Olive oil won't kill ya, c'mon now.

jhoak Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Olive oil won't kill ya, c'mon now. God I hope not cause I go through a LOT of it. Another one of my "favorite" things is grilled cheese sandwiches. Years ago I stopped using butter and started brushing olive oil on the bread prior to cooking. Good flavor and better for you than butter. OK... That's what I tell myself any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing better smelling than chopped garlic frying in olive oil. Just the thought of it gets me salivating []. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it on bread also, my sister gave me a Misto, works great for olive Oil, pump it a few times and it sprays a mist and works really well. Have had it a few years now, well made and under $10. http://www.amazon.com/Misto-M100S-Gourmet-Brushed-Aluminum/dp/B00004SPZV/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316575191&sr=8-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhoak Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Bachelor was the first thing that came to mind Me? Bachelor =Yes. And pretty happy with that status at the moment. I've seen some pretty "lean" times but I don't recall ever using an iron to make a grilled cheese sandwich. As such none of my shirts have olive oil stains.

DizRotus Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 "The staleness (kind of chewey) of the popped corn was as much of a downer to me as the no-stick-salt" You must allow the steam to escape as the corn pops. I use a cheap aluminum non-stick 3 qt. saucepan with holes drilled in the lid to allow steam to escape. It's used for nothing else. I pour in the oil (peanut or canola) to cover the bottom and put in 3 kernels on high heat. After they pop I pour the popcorn (usually Orville's) into the hot oil so that the bottom is covered and eack kernel is covered with oil. I then swirl the pan so that the kernels will heat evenly. The popping occurs so violently that shaking the pan is not necessary. Even with the holes in the lid, I move the lid up and down at one side to vent more steam. The popping would blow the lid off the pan if I didn't pour the initial wave into a bowl. The pan is retuned to the heat and the popping continues. When concluded, I have 6 qts. of tender salt friendly popcorn from a 3 qt pan. My wife says to follow the directions on the Orville's label, but that's too easy.

Zen Traveler Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I make popcorn in a large non-stick pot with Canola Oil and usually store brand popcorn...I put enough PC to cover the bottom of the pot and then about 2-3 tbl spoons of oil to cover it. I put it on med-high heat until the first kernel pops and then shake it over the burner until the popping stops. My secret ingredient is Albertsons brand butter spray which is better tasting than Pam etc and it allows salt to stick to it without all of the calories of butter. I added a handful of pecan halves to the kernels (prior to cooking) the other day and was amazed at how good it turned out. [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted December 11, 2011 Moderators Share Posted December 11, 2011 I still have not figured out how my microwave knows the difference between the bigger multi-serving bag and the smaller individual bags. The unit has just 1 popcorn button but it figures out what you put in there and adjusts the time and intensity level. Try pressing the same button again, the one we use which is a small cheap model does that, on the second press it sets itself for a smaller bag which helps alot if you forget you put popcorn in. Yours must be smarter then the one we use. [8-|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 i just watched a show called Moonshiners, and there was this real old moonshiner called Popcorn. Supposedly, he's a moonshining legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
