Trigger Mike Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 i usually pop Orville's in sunflower oil and a pat of butter, but the other day my local grocery store had some other brand black kernels and they were more tasty but not very fluffy. Who makes the best popcorn for taste and fluffy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Costco's Kirkland brand is pretty good. I quit Costco for a number of reasons and that's the only thing I'll miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Any Orville's popcorn! I prefer popping in a pan with oil but that darn microwave stuff is soooo easy!!! No muss no fuss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Mrs. Lose uses those hot air poppers and they pop nearly every kernal no matter what kind you use. It's a bit noisy but when you mute you're hearing aids it's not bad at all, just remember to unmute them.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) I've tried most of the ones on the market. Orville's seems to be the best. Also tried a bunch of poppers and eventually went back the the retro method of my youth. Takes longer but I think it's best. Oil, pot, stove.

Sagebrush Burns, SASS # 14226 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I have rediscovered popping in a pan in oil and melted butter and salt on top. Nothing else comes close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I don't like to spend a lot of time with prep and clean-up for popcorn, so I stick to the microwave variety now. Â In my opinion, Costco's Kirkland brand microwave popcorn is the best. Â And, it's sold in a box of 42 individual bags for about $8 or $9. Â I've tried other microwave varieties that are so bad, I couldn't eat it and returned it to the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Best popcorn I ever ate was made by my Grandfather. He popped corn from a jar, in an iron skillet with a lid, using LARD for oil, and a wood burning stove for heat source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 A couple adders you might want to try, sprinkled on the cooked popcorn (tossed, and mixed in to get to the whole batch) are: --- granulated sugar --- ground, black pepper  They are nice once in a while to add a little flavor.

Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Our nephew farms close to Dawn, Tx., and he grew popcorn one year. He gave us a 5 gal. bucket full right from his grain truck. We had to pour it in front of a fan to get rid of the chafe or what ever that stuff was, and it was by far the BEST popcorn we have ever had. We popped it the old fashioned way, pan, oil, on the stove. I think what made it so good was it was FRESH. Sadly he stopped growing that kind of corn as there was more money in field corn (fed to livestock). But it spoiled us for store bought pop corn.

Chili Ron Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Howdy, Garretts carmel corn from downtown Chicago. One of the very few reasons to go into that place. They ship em most anywheres.

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I confess...I have not popped popcorn in years. Â Around the Holidays, I gorge on gifts of caramel corn. Â The rest of the year, I like Smartfood - popcorn covered in white cheddar cheese (also available in Jalapeno Ranch and Caramel) . Â All popped, coated and ready for eating. Â Lazy.

Reuben McCoy Rankin # 34239 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Mega Pop comes in individual packaging with oil and salt. Pop it on the stove in the old time poper with hand crank on top. www.gmpopcorn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
