I always just make microwave popcorn, but decided to make some stovetop to go for a healthier option…so I foudn this video, and I made it, and the popcorn came out wonderfully! Thank you!!

As far as toppings, I like to throw a handful of pimento olives into the bowl! it adds a nice salty flavor without having to add additional salt, and some of the brine gets on the popcorn as well, making it incredibly yummy!!!! It’s a perfect way to have salty popcorn without heaping on mounds of salt from the shaker!

I'm sponsoring an initiative at Kitchen Stewardship this month called "Mind the Microwave in May", challenging readers to consider other options for microwave use (stovetop popcorn, of course, being one of them). Please hop over and check it out (click on the picture in the sidebar to go to the invite post). You are cordially invited to participate (even though May is nearly over). If this fits with your site's mission, I'd love to have you sign on and post about it for your readers. Simplify life, sans microwave.

Thanks for the video. I’m from NC so I didn’t notice your accent at all. =)

This is absolutely my favorite! I didn’t look at the video (I’m at work), but I love, love, love stove-top popcorn! It isn’t uncommon for me to have popcorn for dinner once a week.

I first had stove-top popcorn at my grandmothers house (she always used an old aluminum lid and a pressure cooker). My grandma called it “old-crappy popcorn” but she would always make it for me when I spent the night. When I moved into my first apartment she gave me the popcorn bowl she always used and bought me a pressure cooker (sans lid) at an estate sale. I have a glass lid I use for it and I never buy microwave popcorn anymore.

I’ll have to try the parmesan cheese thing, I always just sprinkle it with McCormick’s popcorn seasoning salt (has to be that brand for me)

We always make it like this too. My new fave is making stovetop Kettle Corn. I'm planning a post on that soon! Thanks for reminding us that we don't need all the chemicals and packaging from microwave popcorn. It's also much cheaper to do it yourself. Now, I just need to find a good, organic popcorn...

I have heard about this, always thought that it was so much work, as oppose to the microwave way. But now that you mention how we can make different flavours, well I got to try it at least once. Enjoy Kweezel.

I love fresh popcorn, cooked on the stove of course! I eat it with soy sauce and parmesan cheese. Delish! Drats! Now I'm hungry... Naomi's last blog post..Bathing on Wall Street

I have to dig out our popcorn popper and make a batch. I have been looking for some inexpensive, healthy snacks lately. I will be making some tonight after Miss Baby goes to bed! Di's last blog post..Pay It Forward

When we make stove-top popcorn, we usually mix up a little bowl with sugar (especially maple sugar granules), a bit of salt, and some kind of spice mix. There’s a local spice store that sells great mixes, but anything that appeals to you would probably be good. A little cayenne or paprika for some kick plus the dash of salt makes the sweetness all the better. We usually add it right at the end, when the popcorn has finished popping, but the pan is still hot. Shake shake shake and eat. Delish!
