      And put sugar in the pot as soon as the first kernel starts to pop!

      source
  • victorz@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Make it in a pot. The taller the pot, the less popped corn will be touching the bottom, so less is burnt as the others take time to finish. 👌

    • ohulancutash@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Alternatively, put 3 or so corns in the pot, wait for them to pop, then add the rest. They should all go quickly then without a chance to burn.

      source
      • victorz@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        That’s exactly what I do.

        What I mean by making them in the pot is that the popped corn rise from the bottom (pushed up by newly popped kernels), also without a chance to burn, whereas in a microwave all the corn will continue to be zapped by the electromagnetic waves even after being popped, for a significantly higher risk of burning.

        Even if you keep the pot too long in the stove/hob, only the very bottom layer of corn will burn. 👍

    Guy, you just listen and wait until there’s three seconds between pops, then it’s done.

      Or use the popcorn button. Try it! Sometimes they work!

      I make stovetop popcorn in the microwave.

      The real trick is to actually read the god damn directions, which tell you to not let the time go all the way and stop the process once the kernels are popping longer than 1 second apart. If 1 full second goes by without a pop, it’s done.

      • PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Technology concessions did an episode on this. Those instructions are for the lowest common denominator of microwaves.

        If your microwave has a popcorn setting that uses sensors, is almost always the best option. Some use humidity, some use a microphone, some use both.

      Some of us live in the future. A future where every time I make popcorn my blueteeth speakers crackle so I can’t hear my cryptobro podcast and go all in on bitcoin in 2018.

    Fake, 3:37 should still have some un-popped kernels.

    source
    • EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Then you run for 3-5 seconds after it cools a moment, then let it rest in the microwave for about 20 seconds and it’ll keep popping in the hotbox.

    I have a popcorn popping machine like what they have in theaters. I was going to sell it because it takes up way too much space and I need the money, but then I tested it out and it is one of my favorite things. When I have cravings, I flood it full of perfectly cooked, salted, and oiled popcorn within minutes, and fill an 8 qt Instant Pot pot because cylinder shapes hold more popcorn than bowl shapes can.

    Sometimes the adult thing to do is have popcorn for dinner.

    2 minutes and 13 seconds exactly for my popcorn.

    I found the best way is coconut oil and a wok. Pops pretty much all of it, rarely burns any.

    Popcorn tastes so much better when you overcook it in the break room microwave at work.

    What you do is set one kernel aside put the rest in the microwave until black take it out put the kernel back in wait 3 months an voila fresh corn.
