Actually, if you want perfect popcorn, splurge on coconut oil. Trust me.
And yeah, popcorn salt is awesome. Based on that episode, I actually bought some different kinds of popcorn to try them and it's amazing the texture, flavor and size of the varieties. Screw the Orville Reddenbacher popcorn... that stuff is the worst. |

I've been using peanut oil for my popcorn for years. It's superior to every other oil simply because of the aroma. Never smelled better popcorn. I also don't use popcorn salt. I use "lite" salt (50% potassium chloride). Works just as well.

If you haven't used coconut oil, it's the best for aroma.

To each his own, but I think coconut oil knocks popcorn out of the park. |

Coconut oil is the best. It's what they used to use in movie theaters until the health scares for various foods hit and they changed over to crappier oils.
I use the coconut oil in the professional-style popcorn machine I bought for my home. I add real butter, a sprinkle of salt, and some pepper on occasion. |

If there's anyone interested in getting some Trails End popcorn, my son is a cub scout and they're currently having their Trails End popcorn sales drive.
I know we're really not supposed to post things like this, but hey, it's for a good cause. I believe 70% of all sales proceeds go to support his pack. Here's a link to purchase directly from Trails End and he and his pack get credit for the sales through this link. The sales drive ends this Sunday, November 22nd. Be sure you're sitting down, Trails End is very proud of their popcorn and they have priced it accordingly. http://www.trails-end.com/estore/sco...jsp?id=4866621 Thanks, Ruk |

Brand of popcorn doesn't really matter. It's all about the preparation. I use generic HyVee kernels and it's still the best popcorn I've ever had.
