    I have a popcorn popping machine like what they have in theaters. I was going to sell it because it takes up way too much space and I need the money, but then I tested it out and it is one of my favorite things. When I have cravings, I flood it full of perfectly cooked, salted, and oiled popcorn within minutes, and fill an 8 qt Instant Pot pot because cylinder shapes hold more popcorn than bowl shapes can.

    Sometimes the adult thing to do is have popcorn for dinner.

      Some of us live in the future. A future where every time I make popcorn my blueteeth speakers crackle so I can’t hear my cryptobro podcast and go all in on bitcoin in 2018.

      I make stovetop popcorn in the microwave.

      The real trick is to actually read the god damn directions, which tell you to not let the time go all the way and stop the process once the kernels are popping longer than 1 second apart. If, once it starts popping, 1 full second goes by without a pop, it’s done.

    Make it in a pot. The taller the pot, the less popped corn will be touching the bottom, so less is burnt as the others take time to finish. 👌

      Alternatively, put 3 or so corns in the pot, wait for them to pop, then add the rest. They should all go quickly then without a chance to burn.
