The best popcorn popper I’ve ever used is my wok. I think because it keeps the unpopped corn corralled right over the heat. It pops up so light and fluffy. The only issue is that my wok weighs approximately 18 million pounds, so I am exhausted by the time the corn is popped 🙂 Forget the garlic salt (although that is delicious), my newest favorite thing is to grate over fresh Parmesan cheese with a really fine grater while the popcorn is still steaming. YUM! ETA: I do eat microwave popcorn (light butter flavor) in times of popcorn desperation. But that’s only a couple times a year. It’s not my first choice. ---

As long as a worthwhile post is being added (i.e., not a “me, too!” post) zombie threads in Cafe Society are usually okay to bring back from the dead. In this case, however, interest in this thread probably stems from the OP’s suspension announcement. So, I’ll close it down. If, however, someone wants to start a new thread and link to this one, please feel free to do so.
