Air popped. salted, drizzled with real butter, then baked for about 30 minutes to remove the moisture from the butter and make it crispy ( I live in a very high humidity environment, so baking is crucial).
I’ve tried clarifying the butter first, but I don’t like the change in flavor. Even using low heat gives butter a toasty flavor which is good in some dishes but I don’t like it on my popcorn.
In moderation, corn and butter are perfectly healthy.
I bake the popped corn in this perforated pan in a convection oven to evenly distribute the heat. I take my popcorn seriously.
Also, I eat chips and popcorn and ice cream and nachos and all o’ that junk. I also drink beer and eat red meat. I’m pretty active and my numbers are all within the target ranges doctors recommend. It’s about moderation and variety. I also bike and run and hike. I’m not into the whole food shaming thing, especially when a car can kill you quicker than a burrito will. On the other side of that, I’m not interested in reaching some centenarian level age where I’m barely mobile. I’m enjoying life now, while my faculties afford enjoyable exploration and adventure. The cancer will probably kill us all anyway. Cheers.
Could happen, but you still can influence if it happens sooner or later. Life becames more precious if you already know how much time you have left.
Anyway, true wishes of long and healthy lives for all of you my friends. And a humble proposal to change habits while it still may take effect.
I dunno, this one looks looks pretty sinister to me…
So I totally understand the good intentions of 1stein’s post, but I’d really prefer for this thread to be limited to the topic of exploded grains, extruded grains, sodium chloride, possibly combined with C6H12O6, dihydrogen monoxide, hydroxylic acid, C 4H 7O− 2, and other similar chemicals. Burros are also permitted in this conversation, although I can’t seem to find their chemical formula. Seriously though, controversial health topics never end in a positive tone here, so it’s always best to avoid them.
I don’t think you’re going to have any popcorn left if that guy is anywhere nearby. Just look at that expression on his face… “I just ate all your popcorn and I’ll do it again if necessary.”
