Hey man, we had a lot of views to our little video on “popcorn”.
Thanks for all the nice comments. Glad to hear that so many people are interested in eating more healthful foods. Here’s a link to our video on how to make popcorn.

Thanks!
Stove top popcorn is definitely better than microwaved popcorn but air popping is the best because you don’t have to use oil. If the stove top is all you’ve got then make sure to use an oil that can take the heat, like tea seed oil:

If you ever see your oils start to “smoke” in the pan then that means the heat is too high and the oil has been heated to its smoke point. This is a bad thing, the oil has been damaged and could be very unhealthy and toxic (that’s another reason fried foods are so bad for us!).
Stop, carefully wipe the oil out of the pan with a paper towel until clean, and start again, this time using lower temperature to heat the oil.
You may be able to pop corn on the stove top without adding oil, but I have not tried this since we have an air popper.
