I usually buy the Jiffy pop, because I just have an electric stove. I have some bags of microwave popcorn. Can I put them on range and like shake it or something?
I don’t have a glass lid to keep popcorn from flying everywhere if I just dump it in a pan.
I used to open the bags, pour it in a pot and pop it like that with a grease guard over the top. Sometimes a little extra oil is needed depending on the brand but you don’t have to be too precise with it. Just make sure to keep those kernals moving and you’ll be golden.
As an aside I really recommend people stop eating microwave popcorn, their packaging is a major source of PFA buildups in our bodies. Like highly significant especially if you consume it regularly. Literally any other method of making popcorn effectively eliminates this.
This is the bottom of my pan right now. PFAS are the least of my concern.
This is why I don’t buy non-stick anything.
Your intestines must look squeaky clean though.
You can also make your own microwave popcorn without the PFAs for a lot cheaper. Just toss some popcorn seeds in oil, put em in a plain paper bag and microwave.
