Pop-O-Pot
I recently learned of a great trick for using the Pop-O-Pot microwave popcorn popper. The fine folks at LAARSEN ASSOCIATES told me about this great method to use in the Pop-O-Pot.
It is the way you prep the oil before adding the popcorn kernels and putting it in the microwave for popping.
Instead of the 2 tablespoons of oil, you use 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil. Mix the two together in the Pop-O-Pot and microwave for 1 minute. This allows the two to blend and preheats the Pop-O-Pot. Add the 1/3 to 1/2 cup of you favorite popcorn kernels and microwave on the highest setting until the popping stops.
Remove the popcorn from the popper to a large bowl and salt to taste. If you use a good quality buttery popcorn salt, you will have some of the best tasting popcorn ever.
You can add salt to the Pop-O-Pot before popping, but I prefer to add it after its done popping. It keeps the popcorn tender and you can control the amount of salt added to the popcorn.
