I like to burn it in the microwave in the break room at 9:30am then pretend I wasn't the one who did it.

I put the kernels in my mouth, stick my head into the microwave and enjoy the freshest popcorn you'll ever taste. That's how real men do it.

I use kernels from 100% organic corn that was grown in fields hand plowed using oxen. Then I cook it in a17th century cast iron skillet with amish butter and seasoned with self harvested sea salt from the antarctic.

Meh, I simply squeeze the kernels in the palm of my hand, the heat generated pops the kernels. The natural oils and salts give it that perfect taste.
I have to be careful, squeezing too hard produces a diamond.
Off to the gym.

I use an air popper like a tiara-wearing pretty little princess that just happens to have copious chest hair, a voice deeper than Johnny Cash, and a sizable weenis.

Movie nights are really a complete genderfeck.

My buddy, who was an MP in the Air Force in Viet Nam in '68, likes to tell about the bar girls discovering Jiffy Pop.

He brought one to his girlfriend's place and demonstrated. She got so turned on by it, she threw him on the floor, ripped his pants off and screwed him silly. He immediately bought all they had a the BX, ran back to her place, she called up some of the other gals at the bar, and they had an orgy.

/Yeah, he liked to tell some fun stories. This was my favorite. He showed me some pics of his GF. She looked like she'd do just that.

airplayne: About a quarter stick of butter and be liberal with the salt.


Law of diminishing returns applies to the butter -- past a certain point, all you get is a mess and a waste of money.

For my tastes, when I use coconut oil I don't need to add any butter... but I still do. Just a little. This is Wisconsin, they'll take away my right to vote if I don't.

Sudo_Make_Me_A_Sandwich: HotIgneous Intruder: Olive oil in a crank stir popping pan, ftw.

Coconut Oil. You want coconut oil.

For starters, olive oil degrades pretty rapidly at the temperatures required for popping, meaning you lose almost all the flavor. Secondly, coconut oil smells like the movie theaters from when you were a kid, because that's what they used to use before the health nazis got their way. Seriously, try it, you'll be sold.

Um, yes, I would like to add my name to the Cocnut Oil Club, please.

Air popper if I'm feeling lazy and coconut oil if I'm not. Of course if I'm making it for a lady I go for the oil. I also make sure to apply the melted butter with my penis. How else will she know that I'm a man?

Sheesh people. Take 1 cup unpopped kernals and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, take a 10 QT. pot with a lid and heat 1/4 cup of motor oil until smoking. Quickly throw in the frozen kernals, toss on the lidd, and shake the crap out of the pot.

Ta da - fire!

Wow. This thread is just...sad.

I guess I'm the only one secure enough in my masculinity to admit I use a hot air popper and LIKE IT. If you think hot air popcorn is the same as packing material then there is something seriously wrong with you.

With butter salt I can have a HUGE amount for only a couple hundred calories, or go all out on the butter and still have less fat than oil cooked.

When in the hell did something simple as popcorn go all frou-frou foodie? If air popped corn is not "manly" enough for ya, then mix in a handful of rusty nails and broken glass or something. Still too healthy? Sprinkle on some arsenic with the salt.

geez.

OccamsWhiskers: Popcorn fans, and that means almost no one in TFA, this is what you need:
Cuisinart Popcorn Popper (new window)

You use oil with them (though a little less than I'd use with a pot, because you get constant stirring and don't have to worry as much about burning). But you eat right out of the container and then toss all the dirty parts in the dishwasher. The downside is that they aren't very rugged. I think I'm on my 4th, though the store swapped my last one when it came apart after a few months. The others lasted longer and had electrical problems - the heating stopped working.

I've never tried black popcorn even though it's easier to get around here than white.

White isn't impossible to find it's just that some groceries that I go to don't stock it so I have to make another trip. Same with white corn taco shells.

Outlaw2097: ...a man cooking?

Get your ass back to the grill. That is your place, not in the kitchen.

Agreed. Any man in MY kitchen better be fixing the garbage disposal or installing a double oven. You do not, under any circumstances, enter Estrogen Land without being summoned. There's a reason the beer is kept in the garage refrigerator. The gods themselves could not save you if I caught you touching my knife roll or messing with my espresso machine.

Then I got an air popper for xmas, and I'm trying to figure out how long until I can give up on the thing that shoots unpopped kernels in every possible direction while in use.

You 're supposed to put the top on it when you make popcorn.
