Popcorn is my most favorite food in the whole world. I don’t like microwave corn!!! I just get out my old deep sided castiron skillet and lid and do it the old fashion (the best) way. I add butter and salt after it has popped. Sometimes I add parm. cheese or season salt. I’m in heaven.

This is probably a stupid question – lid on the pot or no?

Being from Indiana and working in a town that had a popcorn producer in it, there is no substitute for stove top popped corn. The flavor is unique to the process, Microwave tastes like microwave popcorn and stove top like tastes like stove top popcorn. Having done it all my life I would suggest putting the oil with 1 kernel of corn in the pan over the heat. When the kernel pops, add the rest of the kernels and never, never stop moving the pan. You’ll get a higher percentage of popped kernels this way.

Unfortunately, the arrival of microwave popcorn on the scene means that a lot of people have no clue how to make proper popcorn. (My own husband was convinced that it was physically impossible to make popcorn at home until I made it one day…) Thanks for posting this!
