Re:paper bag popcorn -Diane

[Guest guest]

Thanks again Diane ,

 

How you described the popcorn is just how I like it too- a tiny bit burned- or

brown-ish...... it's hard to get it just right so that it isn't black burned-

but it is sooo good when I get it right!

Microwave popcorn is about $4 a box for a 3 pk box here and while it tastes

good- I know that it isn't the best for me......but love the ease of making it

in the microwave. I have a hot air popper- but it just doesn't do it for me- so

will give this a try!

I promise I always watch my popcorn when I mic it-I know how fast this stuff can

go from ooh to ewwwww...

I love the partially popped 'old maids' too- although my teeth are not thrilled

with it. That and crushed ice........OMG! I couldn't live a summer without my

Sunbeam " Avalanche " ice crusher!

.................................................... But I can always smell

when

the popcorn is starting to scorch. I let it go about 4 1/2 minutes

and sometimes it's still a tiny bit browned but I like that. This

method leaves more unpopped than an air popper though .

We love popcorn here too. We have made it on the stove, in a paper bag, bought

microwave popcorn, etc. My aunt even had a metal pan with a vented lid that we

used when we went camping.

 

My old microwave popcorn popper looked exactly like the rice steamer. It was

plastic with a lid that had vents in it. It worked good and when we moved, I

guess it got lost because I never located it. I usually cook my rice on the

stove but this gives me another reason to invest in a microwave rice cooker.

I've been wanting one but I didn't know if they really worked as they should.
