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