Very burnt popcorn is such a horrific smell and it takes so long to go away.
But a little burnt(I do man a little) is awesome!
Stovetop every time babe♡
Can’t be beat ♡
I have an air popper <3
I put our (cheap) air popper in a big box so it cant really “miss the bowl” :D
I only just noticed your username. Lmao
Two air poppers, a whirly pop, and a, bags of microwave shit for emergencies
And put sugar in the pot as soon as the first kernel starts to pop!
Guy, you just listen and wait until there’s three seconds between pops, then it’s done.
Or use the popcorn button. Try it! Sometimes they work!
I could fall asleep listening to him tell me all about why I should use the pre-wash function on the dishwasher.
I knew what that link was before even opening it. 🍿💦💨🪄
I didn’t click it but it’s Technology Connections, right?
Yes
And now, through the magic of posting twice, you can watch it again, or for the first time:
Fake, 3:37 should still have some un-popped kernels.
Then you run for 3-5 seconds after it cools a moment, then let it rest in the microwave for about 20 seconds and it’ll keep popping in the hotbox.
Instructions unclear HOUSE ON FIRE! HALP!
Aha but no more un-popped kernels!
So should 3:38.
Imagine making microwave popcorn. Smh
Some of us live in the future. A future where every time I make popcorn my blueteeth speakers crackle so I can’t hear my cryptobro podcast and go all in on bitcoin in 2018.
I make stovetop popcorn in the microwave.
The real trick is to actually read the god damn directions, which tell you to not let the time go all the way and stop the process once the kernels are popping longer than 1 second apart. If 1 full second goes by without a pop, it’s done.
It’s exactly the same on the stove. Chasing after 100% popped kernels with 0% burned is a pipe dream unless you have an air popper or one of those popping machines where the popped popcorn is ejected out of the hot zone.
Technology concessions did an episode on this. Those instructions are for the lowest common denominator of microwaves.
If your microwave has a popcorn setting that uses sensors, is almost always the best option. Some use humidity, some use a microphone, some use both.
Those instructions are for the lowest common denominator of microwaves.
That affects the overall cook time, not the bit about stopping when the popping slows. Even making it on the stove, you need to take the pot off the burner once the popping slows or you’ll burn what’s already been popped.
I feel like you stopped reading after the sentence that you quoted. Here, let me repeat the rest for you
If your microwave has a popcorn setting that uses sensors, is almost always the best option. Some use humidity, some use a microphone, some use both.
They have sensors to detect that for you. Sometimes using literal microphones
I feel like you don’t understand why that is irrelevant to anything I said. If you have a good sensor microwave, you wouldn’t be burning your popcorn. If you don’t have a sensor or your microwave is shit, you need to pay attention.
Maybe I misunderstood.
Whan you say “follow the instructions”, which instructions are you saying to follow?
Instructions on the internet, instructions on stovetop popcorn, or instructions on microwave popcorn?Either one; but just the part about stopping it when the popping slows. The time the microwave bags tell you to cook is based on a certain wattage and assumes you don’t have a sensor; but they also mention when to stop the microwave as general rule of thumb that doesn’t change if your microwave is more or less powerful.
Like, if the bag says 3 minutes and you just let it go the whole time, you only followed half the instructions, ya know?
If rule 34 is for porn, then rule 37 is for corn
I can smell this post and the disappointment.
37 mentioned
If it exists, there’s someone on the internet watching it while eating corn?
I feel like bananas are the same way:

Did you mean to say “avocadoes”? Got 2 rotting in my fridge right now. :(
avocadoes
Both forms are accepted. 👍
I will not accept a rotting avo
Touché
In the interim- fruit flies fruit flies fruit flies…
I’ve given up on keeping fresh fruit around.
Bananas here last about three days of perfect, then become merely good for a few more
I think you’re thinking about avocados
no wonder they call you the popcorn princess
Am I weird for liking slightly burnt popcorn? I’m not being sarcastic, it’s so good.
Yes but we like weird
What about burnt toast?
I’ve met a few that enjoyed it
You fuckin bet your ass I love me some burnt ass bread. Especially if it’s sourdough garlic bread. Char that motherfucker and scrape the roof of my mouth all god damn day.
I found the best way is coconut oil and a wok. Pops pretty much all of it, rarely burns any.
Ok, so what you rule over Popcorn? What is there to Popcorn? What kinds do you even make?
Make it in a pot. The taller the pot, the less popped corn will be touching the bottom, so less is burnt as the others take time to finish. 👌
Great tip
Alternatively, put 3 or so corns in the pot, wait for them to pop, then add the rest. They should all go quickly then without a chance to burn.
Big brain
Popcorn tastes so much better when you overcook it in the break room microwave at work.
