Growing up, we had a Jiffy Pop, it used hot air, always reminded me of a blow dryer. Any health benefits were quickly drown out by the drenching of melted butter that my sister douse upon it. Those appliances were clearly a 70s thing, wonder how much they go for on eBay?

 

I used a blow-dry air popper well into the '80s, but it didn't have bell-bottoms then.

Now I use a microwave gadget (plastic bowl with lid and some kind of paper insert -- made by one of the kitchen gadget companies, I forget which) with kernals and no butter.

No butter during the popping process that is. Somewhere between popping and ingestion, butter seems to find its way onto the popcorn, along with salt, that special, fine-grained popcorn salt. Double yum. HPH

 

Karla likes popcorn so much we have one of those machines like you see in the movie houses. It used to come in handy when I coached baseball as Karla would make bags for all the kids and parents every game. It is next to our bar and also comes in handy for parties, seems most people like movie style pop corn.

Little bag - goes in microwave - push popcorn button - microwave beeps - take out bag - open bag - eat popcorn.

 

Me too. Buy it by the box at Costco.
