Eating microwave popcorn increases the level of PFAS in body (2022)
Best popcorn you can make is cheap and easy cleanup.<p>Take one large pot (the kind that holds like 10qts).<p>Cover the bottom with kernels.<p>Add a bit of oil, basically just enough to swirl and have everything covered in an oil sheen, not enough to have them submerged.<p>Cover, put on high (I use gas). I like to suspend a paper towel between the lid and the rest of the pot, absorbs excess oil and water.<p>Once popping slows, turn off the stove. Dump popcorn into large mixing bowl.<p>Toss 1/8 cup butter in the hot pot, melt the butter with residual heat.<p>Pour popcorn back in and toss to get the popcorn evenly lightly buttered, transfer back to the mixing bowl.<p>Salt(I prefer a salt grinder) and toss, add a bit of grated Parmesan and toss.<p>There should be less than 10 unpopped kernels, no burned popcorn at all.<p>Cleanup is a wipe down of the large pot with the moisture capture paper towel.
