Pop-corn enthusiasts, how do you make them? Ready-made microwave shite, or from kernels? If from kernels, do you use a special air-frier, or just pan with oil? I use the air-frier but I find that my biggest problem is getting the butter taste in them afterwards. I'm dripping a butter-tasting rapeseed oil afterwards, but this tends to not reach the bottom layers if I make a lot.

What's your approach?

Just use ghee in place of oil on the stove and use more than you think you'll need. Drown the kernels in that delicious high heat clarified butter.

Split it in two bowls, apply topping, toss it around, combine bowls

Microwave is okay in a pinch.

Kettle style with the built in stirrer, a touch of canola and salt can be very good.

I prefer air popped, with a 1:1 ratio of butter tbsp per 1/3 cup kernel batch, and dusted with fine popcorn salt.

I use an 8 cup saucepan with a splash of avocado oil. After popping I cover it in melted garlic butter with parmesan and nooch
