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.”
Right, sorry guys for spoiling this thread. I do eat popcorn and chips too (but afterwards I regret it ). My intention is at least to plant a seed of your attention to it. Law enforces giving nutrition facts and ingredients, so everybody could choose for himself.
Ahmmm, coming back to popcorn, who tried one fried on chilli oil with pink (Himalayan) salt? I think it rocks…
Am I the only person here that just likes the Popcorn straight up?
Maybe a little salt and maybe not but why would I ruin the Popcorn flavor with anything else?
And for the record my Mother and Uncle owned a chain of Popcorn Stores when I was growing up and they featured 133 flavors of popcorn and none were as tasty to me as Plain.

You’ll live forever I reckon.
Weeeell. Till THEN Anyway.
Just enjoy what you got. WHILE you got it.
Life is sweet. Don’t spoil it worrying about things.
I agree with 1stein, I very rarely eat pop corn, maybe twice in ten years. These snacks have a high profit margin which is why they are heavily advertised, and poor nutrition. My naughty treat at the moment is home made jam on toast, either blackcurrant or Morello cherry, it is incredible, but unhealthy, so I am experimenting with simply simmering the fruit with a small amount of sugar and then bottling it, and eating it on breakfast cereal. It is awesome, the taste is outstanding, and so much healthier than these fast foods.
But if I had to eat pop corn, then chilli pepper or maple syrup would be my flavour of choice, probably pepper first.
