And don't forget Corn Pop was a bad dude and he ran a lot of bad boys
How is the pan so clean
You're going to "shoot your eye out". 😆
Hilarious outtake
Yes u are cool❣️
Interesting. Popcorn with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and dried Italian seasoning, crushed, is good.
I just want to know how many takes it took for her to catch that piece of popcorn in her mouth.
I recommend redacted Nutritional Yeast as a topping with any variation. It adds a cheesy note and is good for you as well!
I used to eat these things up, but then I started having health problems, and just a change to my diet made dramatic results very quickly. I'm glad that I'm 61 and figured that out in the last year or so. My point is it would've been great to see this done without the butter, and with more of a health option. I'm not one of those people who says don't show this, I'm saying look at the world around us, it's changing, America's test kitchen should be changing too. I haven't eaten very little mayonnaise, butter, eggs, meat, white sugar, and so on, I just started eating more oatmeal, vegetables, rice, grains, lentils, beans. That's all I tried to do was increase that kind of thing, and suddenly my health improved and I never had any cravings for the first time in my life. There are better alternatives out there that for something as simple as popcorn it would've been great to hear about here. There are now plant-based burgers and so on, and I'm not on that bad yet wagon yet because I think that's highly processed food, and I don't rule out anything from time to time, but for popcorn, which starts healthy, it would've been great to see an option for keeping it that way. Mixed among the other options, but instead of. Thanks.
WhirleyPop works too. I do powdered sugar and cinnamon over buttered popcorn, Penzey’s Spices has Foxpoint seasoning, we just do Ranch Dips over buttered popcorn, but what I’m really looking for is kettle corn.
That is a 3-qt saucepan. Try popping a half cup of kernels in the typical 2-qt size and you’ll have popcorn on your feet
She is so adorable. Popcorn good, too.
This, but with a Wok
Amazing outtakes at the end
Wow that worked! Yay! Thank you. I didn't like the 3 kernels popping. It is funny because obviously I knew what was going to happen, but I still jumped. Hubby is happy because he was served a large bowl of popcorn vs 1/2 popcorn and 1/2 kernels. I used peanut oil to cook and dressed it with butter and sea salt. Cooked this in a med fry pan that had a vented clear cover.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sorry – Cilantro tastes like LESTOIL Floor Cleaner to me – Horrid. I'll stick with other herbs
Didn't think I needed a popcorn recipe, but yes, yes I do! Thanks Ashley, this looks so tasty
Brewer's Yeast. Weird at first but after the first few mouthfuls, completely addictive!
Whoops – lost an eye! Oh, now the other eye. Holy crap, the third eye. Where, where is everyone? Hot, hot popcorn!
I love popcorn so much. I usually make it on the stovetop. 😛
Nasty ranch popcorn
Love the outtakes at the end! "I'm cool…"
I like to add either Tapatio or Valentina hot sauce and some lemon juice and then scoop 'em with a spoon like cereal. 😁
Ashley, popcorn is my favorite snack/Sunday night dinner. Thank you for these recipes. I would love to someday purchase the cookbook.
