Had a stay at home mom. We got "bored" in the summer. She'd let us go out the the curb and make a little fire in a coffee can (dead end street, no traffic). Her rule was "the fire has to stay in the can". We got the bright idea "why don't we cook some popcorn!" We got some aluminum foil and put a little divot in it and put it over the coffee can fire. Added some kernels of popcorn. They burned. Got the idea "well, we're missing oil". We went to my dad's garage and got his oil container and put a little squirt of motor oil in the foil divot then put popcorn in it. Viola! Popcorn! Tasted just fine because when the kernels popped, they popped out of the oil and we caught 'em. It's important for kids to be bored. Out of that, comes creativity 🙂 Over 60 years later, I'm doing just fine for the "healthy folks" that warn against stuff and aren't much fun.
Stove top using Bacon Grease. BEST EVER. Good crunch with the best flavour ever. Not bacony, but it has something extra that puts it over on other popcorns.
@@RobynMM The boyscouts tried selling bags of flavoured popcorn one year. It didn't do well but they had a Bacon flavoured popcorn that was better than sex! I haven't found that flavour since.
Bacon very high in fat content. Sodium nitrates bad. I spray extra virgin oil on my popcorn, high in omega 3 and high in unsaturated fats, the best fats. And season it with nutritional yeast, or onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder Purpose of the olive oil is for seasoning to stick to kernels. Bacon is death. 😢
As an employee of a company that makes microwave popcorn, I can't condone people learning how to do this stuff themselves. How will we use chemicals to control the minds of our consumers. Think of your poor corporate overlords. How will they pay for thier yachts and mistresses.
Ghee is easy to find in a jar that doesn't even need to be refrigerated, but if you heat butter in a pan until it just barely starts to brown, not only does it drive off the water but it tastes really good over popcorn.
Tried this tonight. I didn't have enough parmesan cheese so just used butter and salt but will make it again when I have the parmesan. I make homemade garlic butter for garlic bread so next time I think I might try some of this on the popcorn too. I usually make popcorn in a large pot on the stove but it turns out greasy sometimes. This did not and it was very good. Then I put the paper bags in my woodstove to help keep the fire going. Win, win, win. Thanks for doing this.
I have an alternate recipe that cooks the butter into the popcorn. Try using a Pyrex bowl with a lid, corn, coarse black pepper, and a tablespoon of butter - salt optional. Microwave for 5-7 minutes depending on the microwave. Stop cooking when popping stops.
Same here. Paper bags don't hold as much so I use 6qt glass bowl. Pour half cup of popcorn and drizzle canola oil or melted butter in. Don't have a lid for the bowl so I use a dinner plate to cover it. Microwave for 6 minutes. Stop when popping slows down. Scoop popped corn into serving bowl, leaving unpopped kernels. Season with whatever you like.
Love it!! Moving my microwave, dropped it, pieces and parts flew everywhere, been popping popcorn on stove top, top with melted salted butter and hefty sprinkle of cayenne. Love the heat!! Baby daughter gave me a new microwave for Mother’s Day/ birthday (5/24) so gonna pick up paper bags and try your method.
I liked how you gave an insight about the readymade popcorns and packaging. I have never used them but thanks to you i will never have to use them ! Thankyou for this easy technique!
Thank you!!! We bought an air popper and always ended up with chewy popcorn that we then put on a sheet in the oven. This was perfect. We didn't have the lunch bag size and used a grocery sack cut in half (which fits on our glass turn plate). Perfect!
A fav seasoning for me is nutritional yeast with salt and butter. Sometimes I’ll add a pinch of cayenne pepper. I’ve been popping on my stovetop for decades but am excited to try this! Thanks so much!
I just leaned the coolest thing today, Graham!! I never knew you could just pop popcorn in the microwave like that...I knew the classic bags were terrible for you but didn't know this little trick! I'm making this the next family movie night and that parm seasoning sounds oh so good!!
@@Passionforfoodrecipes My biggest complaint is that it doesn't make up enough, LOL. BTW, That looked like paprika, not curry, but I could be wrong (that happens A LOT!). Another way my family & I like it is with garlic mixed in with the parmesan cheese. Thank You SO Much!
@@SenoritaPuffyTaco-fr8tv The problem with seed oils is the high temperatures and harsh chemicals they're processed with. That's not true of coconut oil. Coconut oil is healthy.
I have depression and anxiety and I was literally just crying and your video made me feel a lot better. Also, we’re really low income so this tip will help so much, thank you. 🙏🏻❤🌽
I tried the method here and it really, really worked. I'll never go back to bags!!! I'd had no idea that the popcorn in bags was not different from regular popcorn. I once did popcorn on the stove for the kids of a friend, they had no idea it could be done that way. And now I can have popcorn without even doing it on the stove and having to add oil. This way tastes so much better!
@@markkeegan17 it's hydrogenated palm oil. The palm oil itself isn't that bad but the hydrogenated part keeps it shelf-stable and that's unhealthy and unpleasant.
This inspired me to make toast with grape jelly 😋 I didn’t have any popcorn available 🤷♂️ But that bag o goop did not look appetizing. I will keep this method in mind for when I do make popcorn 🍿 Maybe season with cinnamon and sugar 😋
been trying a few different things,,,, some good seasoning choices BUTTERPLUS one of the following -- Ground fine Everything bagel, montreal steak seasoning, ADOBO Seasoning, lemon pepper with parm, and believe it or not buttered then sprinkled with nestle's quick.
Man, am I glad I saw this! Didn't know this was possible! What's great is that you can choose whether or not you want to add fat (butter), thus making it slightly less caloric dense if you opt to just put salt/spices on. Thanks a lot!
Popcorn is my fav snack - super satisfying and fairly low cal (esp of you can control how much you’re making and what you’re topping it with). I’ve been begrudgingly a slave to the micro-bags for decades because of the convenience, so needless to say, I will definitely be trying this - thanks much
I just put the dry corn kernels in a pot with olive oil, salt, and pepper powder. On medium and when I heart the 3rd pop I raise the flames to high and move the pot around until all are popped. Then open the cold water faucet and cool down the bottom of the pot.
Hello! Thank you for sharing your recipe to pop popcorn. I tried it 8-17-23 at 12:30 AM and it popped up great. My Mom was impressed with your method and likes it too.
Adding the butter I have been doing this for like 2 decades or more. Take a cheese grater and use the extra fine and grade a half stick or so of the frozen-butter stick. Add it to the bag or toss the bowl and toss it around. I find this distributes the butter better and hot popcorn will melt the butter flakes
I can confirm that this is the best way to make popcorn! I've done it this way for years, and it works every time. I like to pour my butter down the sides of the bowl before I toss. I like the blend you used, no judgement from me. 😮😍
We are out of the store bought pre-made stuff. So I'm going to buy the paper lunch bags and change over. Thank you on the one staple idea in the microwave.
Oh yea these both look delicious 😋. I don’t like the microwave bags you buy in the store either. Thank you for sharing Graham. Have a great day. Full Watch
Really like the insights into how bad the store bought stuff is. This is such a great way to make popcorn. Lots of butter and salt, and your spice blend is great too. I appreciate the kernels of truth in this recipe.
Hey! I loved the style of your video - straight to the point, and the puns scattered throughout were great. I'm definitely trying this, I used to microwave the kernels in a bowl with unmelted butter, which would leave my bowl (and lid) super greasy and really hot to touch
I concur. Redenbacker is definitely worth the extra cost!! It's still about 25 to 50 cents a bag. I use an air popper, now I'm sold on microwaving my own! Thank you!
This is an old recipe. We used to make it on the stove, had fun shaking the pan back and forth(was not Jiffypop) then we'd add the butter and salt or make Carmel corn. Had a lot of fun!
Thank you. I have three grand daughters I watch 5 days a week now that summer is here and lately the two youngest have been experimenting in the kitchen making messes for me to clean because they don't know clean from Papa's clean. Anyway, maybe this will interest them, they love popcorn. Again, thank you!
This video came at the perfect time. I have a lot of popcorn kernels and didn’t know what to do with them! The regular bag of popcorn looks so strange when you opened it. Definitely want to try this out now for sure. :)
Thanks so much for posting. Your blog looks amazing too. I need a healthy way to popcorn. I'm definitely buying some Orville and brown paper lunch bags.
This is a-_maize_-ingly simpler than I make it out to be! Never tried this method! I'm surprised you didn't add a pinch of cayenne to the seasoning like ol whatsis name😋 ..ever since I saw he does that, I do it to almost everything, even cookies, and have had zero complaints! ps, I had excellent results with your sesame chicken recipe this past weekend, thanks 👍
I disagree about not adding the last bit of butter - that's where all the flavor is. Too, I've sprayed a little bit of "Pam" type spray into the bag onto the kernels before popping. It seems to "allow" more kernels to pop, leaving not so many unpopped at the end. Also, if you pour on the butter first then your spice blend will stick better, imho. :D
Oh wow, how cool. I don't eat popcorn very often except when I use to live in Chicago... I would stand in line for Garrets Cheese and caramel combo. I have probably used the microwave ones a few times in my life but ewwwwwwww, I didn't know it looked like that inside 🤦♀️🤣😂. Next time I have a popcorn craving, I'm definitely doing it your way. I love the parmesan curry mixture though, I might use it for homemade chicken tenders...YUM! It's always great to learn new things 😉👍LIKE #34
Great idea to pop your corn in the bag Graham, I must try this.... Nice flavours too, using the coffee grinder is also a super tip... Have a fun week and I'll catchya again real soon....👋
Two suggestions. Use pickling salt, which is very fine and sticks well, very much like McDonald's salt packets. Second, if you make clarified butter, cook it until the water evaporates and the milk solids start to caramelize. It will taste awesome.
When microwaves first hit the commercial market, this was the one feature that was advertised......pop popcorn in a paper bag. That was the way everyone popped popcorn in a microwave.......until the pre-packaged stuff hit the market. Faster, easier won out over the brown bag.....Now you'll probably even have to buy your small brown bag. Prior to that....we just popped on the stovetop or used an electric popper......no bags or chemicals were harmed. Native Americans even used clay pots. After all.....they created popcorn.
Excellent instructional. And yes to stay away from processed popcorn with additives which are not good for us. Can you tell us about health risks you’re aware of from microwave food, or of how it diminishes nutritive value?
Really good, my brudda, cos I stopped doing the paper bag trick because of the mess. Now that I know I can pop the corn without oil it's on again! Thanks!
Awesome video on how to make one of my favourite snack foods, it wasn't corny at all! I love the Parmesan curry seasoning because cheese popcorn is my favourite and I'm totally addicted to the green tube cheese, I love it! I'm definitely going to try this and will never be buying that yucky store bought stuff again! Cheers Graham and take care up there my friend!
I always use a bowl and put a plate over it. Never thought of a bag. Hahaha. Thanks!
Well now I'm going to have to try a bowl with a plate over over it! 😁
Had a stay at home mom. We got "bored" in the summer. She'd let us go out the the curb and make a little fire in a coffee can (dead end street, no traffic).

I like the way you think Gerry! That's going on my to-do list.
Maybe take a couple strips of the crispy bacon you cooked, crumble it into tiny pieces and add it to any seasonings that you use? Mmmmm!
@@RobynMM The boyscouts tried selling bags of flavoured popcorn one year. It didn't do well but they had a Bacon flavoured popcorn that was better than sex! I haven't found that flavour since.

I always put browned butter on my popcorn…the BEST!!!😀😊
or just heat butter up and skim the top stuff off and yay butter oils
Easy if you live near a city and not in a food desert
@@jillv4006 If you can get popping corn, you can get butter.
@@milesparris4045 butter yes but not ghee. I’ve heard of it but don’t know what it is

The advantage of stove top popcorn is the oil. I use a healthy glob of coconut oil. Scrumptious!
I use extra virgin olive for its omega 3 properties. Seed oils not the best. High in omega 6.

A friend manages a movie theater here in Milwaukee. Her pro tip for pop corn is... Brewer's Yeast! Trust me
parm, salt, a pinch of pepper, garlic powder a pinch of cayene makes a good seasoning blend
That's a dad blend. Kids never like the Parmesan lol.

Thank you for this recipe. I will never in my life by microwave popcorn again.❤❤❤❤❤
I've made popcorn with a tall disposable see through plastic leftovers cup and with a plate on top. Just a teaspoon of kernels and the cup is filled.
That's cool! It really is surprising how what looks like just a "few" kernels turns into a whole mess of popcorn!
I have a sort of melamine bowl with a plastic lid, made for microwaving popcorn. Used it for years.
I knew the brown bag trick but I really liked the infographics and that seasoning sounds really good!
Really good video and nice tips. I personally like Pop Secret better than Orville but both are really good.
I've done this for years. I would never use curry though. Coffee grinder sounds like a win. Thanks for this video.
