Hi April...The idea was mentioned by one of my subscribers back in the comments on my "Living in a Van with No Oven" video so I thought I would give it a try. C. Lynn Higginbotham is her channel. Thanks for the suggestion Lynn! And April, thanks for watching. I hope you share it with your friends and family.
Maybe Dash should come up with a mini cooker for soup, stews, and popcorn. My thumb joint would ache from holding down the button, but you got the job done; yay!!!
I just use a sauce pan & lid on the stove.😆 old school. I thought about getting an air popper but I've got no room in my kitchen for anything else. Try topping it with nutritional yeast!! Its so tummy and good for you
Yeah, it didn't work in my steam cooker... but it works fantastic in the microwave. Just put a tablespoon of kernels in a paper bag fold the end over and over and nuke it for about a min or two just stop when the popping slows down before it burns.
I could be wrong but I am pretty sure she doesn’t have a microwave in her van and even if she does there are days when there isn’t enough sun to run one.
Yeah, did that. One way to break your rice cooker. Had to learn the hard way. It overheats and eventually dies. So I wouldn't recommend your suggestion.
I remember the old Orville redenbacher commercials when he would say Hi I'm Orval Reddenbacher from Valparaiso Indiana. 😊. we were extra stoked as kids hearing that because my mom's family is from Valparaiso Indiana 😁. I'm still watching and can't wait to see if this works, or not.
Hi, maybe take that inverted coffee mug and place it over the lid handle and that would give you the weight you need to keep it in cooking mode. Good luck.
Initially, I was going to do some on the stove. My wife accidentally bought the microwave stuff and, as we don't (and never will) have a microwave, I thought why not try the rice cooker. Then I thought I'd see if anyone else had tried it yet, and if they were successful. For anyone else reading this who has a microwave, I test and tag electrical equipment in the workplace and I perform a separate test for actual microwave leakage. This involves a special tester and searches for leakage around the door and from the back. Any warpage, food left where door seals or corrosion will cause leakage of microwaves. The (apparently) safe limit is 5.0 mW/cm2...We will never use a microwave. Also, there is no such thing as microwave safe plastic. I'll try the rice cooker this afternoon 😁
I wonder if by putting the oil in first and letting it get hot, then adding the popcorn would work any better? Place a weight (pan with rice (or other weight) in it) on top of the rice cooker's lid to hold it down... This prevents you from having to constantly be resetting the cook switch... You can also place a small metal cup, filled with water, in the rice cooker to give weight to your small, light weight, recipes....
Yay. It worked 🎉 So what movie did you watch? I would need more popcorn than that, but that's probably why I have to eat keto . 😅😅😅🤦 Way to go, Orville. (And you) 😊 Like the window. Traveling I'm sure you say some beautiful views.
@@travelinggypsie2085 sure am. I tried to render the one from last weekend and I ran out of power. lol so it's rendering now. This past weekend was fun but sort of weird. didnt get much footage but I'll do a thing on it one way or another.
I do this all the time. You have to scotch tape the heat switch down. Works great!
Love your adventurous spirit. You’re not afraid to try different things. Awesome 👍🏻
Oh my gosh! I would have never thought to try this! Brilliant!

Great tip, thanks!! I'll have to give that a try.
When I make popcorn, I usually heat the oil first. When the oil is hot I add the kernels. Popcorn does take a bit of time.
This is an amazing way to make popcorn! Well worth the wait! P.s. LOVE ALL THE PINK!
Yeah....it's great to have different options...and thanks for the compliment on my van decore...I'm trying to keep it cheery...lol
Wow! I never would ha e thought to do this. It's amazing it gets hot enough to pop the popcorn!
I was happily surprised!
Yeah, it didn't work in my steam cooker... but it works fantastic in the microwave.

I’ve seen someone who regularly stir fry’s in her rice cooker just wedge a piece of paper in the power button to keep it from switching to warm.

Between that and the slow cooker you can do anything lol 👍
I know, right?!...lol Next thing you know, I'll be hosting my own Food Network show..."Vanlife:Cooking with Gypsie"
Very awesome thanks for sharing. Ps super cute rice cooker

It's funny how kids react to certain things...lol
Mine only pops half the popcorn. It's ok because I like the unpopped kernels.

I use a small metal spoon to hold down the switch. Works like a charm when im baking cakes in in as well.
Love it
Hi Lynn...I appreciate the suggestion and I kept it in my head all this time because I knew I wanted to try it....You are a gem!
😎
Put a small potato in the rice cooker to hold it down.

Added... I use a donut weight (used to hold cloth while cutting) on the lid to hold the rice pot down... Works for me...
Yay. It worked 🎉
So what movie did you watch?
I would need more popcorn than that, but that's probably why I have to eat keto . 😅😅😅🤦
Way to go, Orville. (And you) 😊
Like the window. Traveling I'm sure you say some beautiful views.
I ended up watching a documentary about Bigfoot....I sure hope I don't see one of those out my window...lol
Use the coffee cup on top of the lid as weight.. Maybe it will work..
Thank you.
It will work. Just tried today.
Im gonna try to make some on my butane stove soon I hear you can
I'm sure you can do it on your stove...bust out a movie and enjoy!...Make sure you post it when you make it!
who woulda thought!
I know, right?!...Now I can have popcorn when I watch scary movies and freak myself out!...lol
haha I love scary movies.
@@AnnsTinyLife how was camping this week-end? Are you gonna post any videos of it?
@@travelinggypsie2085 sure am. I tried to render the one from last weekend and I ran out of power. lol so it's rendering now. This past weekend was fun but sort of weird. didnt get much footage but I'll do a thing on it one way or another.
@@AnnsTinyLife Looking forward to it!
So you hold the switch and the cover down ?
Need a bean bag
Pain in the butt pop the regular way and you’ll get your popcorn faster
