Where’s us weirdos that like to eat 1-3 at a time by one sticking to our tongue like a frog
ATHF!
I have to try this the next time!
The secret third phase is scraping the last few kernels across the butter/salt film on the bottom of the bowl.
What’s the phase where the popcorn is gone, so you drag your finger through the salt/butter residue, then lick it off like an animal?
The secret 3½ stage?
I’m a fist-stuffing guy. There is also no popcorn left by the time the previews are over. 😔
Also: Is eating all the only slightly popped kernels left at the bottom its own phase? I do that.

Sure, but how do you eat your popcorn?
Also eating the half popped kernels is absolutely a phase. Especially if it involves gradually lowering your standards of what a half popped kernel is until youre just biting off the point of the kernels
My friend introduced me to eating popcorn with chopsticks for practice and I’ve been doing it ever since.
No buttery fingers, no fistfuls of corn. Just a slow and forced-portioning pace.
Ugh, you’re VERY right, but they don’t sell 'em around here. We don’t have the pairs we used to have anymore…
Remember to always keep at least one kernel or your system won’t boot.
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?
I’ve been looking into this air fryer / self-stirring cooking pot “Delonghi Multifry”. Could work to get it mixed with butter while air frying.
Although I’m mostly thinking about air frying breaded chickpeas, noodles / spätzle, gnocchi and potatoes. Not to save on oil mind you, just to avoid having to get off my ass and stir the pan all the time.
Split it in two bowls, apply topping, toss it around, combine bowls
I’ve had this guy for a couple years now: https://a.co/d/ggaW5BS
Few butter patties and some kernels then salt once done; works great
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.
Unfortunately it’s a bit too expensive around here
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
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’ve never done the second.
I don’t like popcorn enough to justify getting that shit everywhere by uncontrollably grabbing and stuffing it in my mouth. For me, it’s something to slowly munch on.
It’s OK to admit it, this is a safe zone
Same with chips or nuts.
Tangential, but anyone passing by this comment and doesn’t like popcorn after working at a theater?
Whenever I see a bowl of popcorn it reminds me of that smell of popcorn and coke mixed together in a garbage can. It’s not so bad that I don’t eat it at all. But if I do, I have very little.
Popcorn + spoon is the way. Clean hands plus high throughput.
What the fuck
Same as for chips
Popcorn is great and all, but having some piece of popcorn stuck in your throat…
