Welcome to Gaia! ::


We all know what popcorn is. Most of us absolutely adore it. However, with every great thing in each person's life comes any number of downfalls. Popcorn has a few, which I would like to bring up for discussion in order to devise, with your help, practical and scientific methods for conquering them.

1. Dry mouth. Coca-Cola, as well as other carbonated beverages, couple well with popcorn for their independently refreshing nature, but also as to supplement this most heinous crime on mouths everywhere.

2. Teeth clutter. Popcorn is notorious for getting itself stuck in hard-to-reach places, but more often than not, you're left tonguing away at that stubborn little piece that you have to floss out later (which is not fun either -- remember to do it once a day, though!).

3. Butter. Oh, butter, ye double-edged sword. How you bring about seasoning and zest, but leave behind zits and fat in your tasty wake.

4. Kernels. Dentistry looks down on biting into hard objects.

If we can surgically restore a man's p***s by growing one on his arm, if we can repair bullet holes, if we can remove organs, then by god we can make popcorn the most succulent, enjoyable snack food known to man. This is where you come in.

Except you come in with flair. Whenever posting in this thread, your first word must rhyme with the last word of either the post above you, or the post you're quoting (if you're discussing something with a specific poster). If the latter is the case, please quote the last word of the post you intend to rhyme off of, to keep confusion low and authenticity high. Also, if someone uses a non-rhyming word, you're free to boo and hiss them for cheating.

Let's do it.

Do not post off topic or pointless one word replies. These will also be considered spam, and so are warnable/bannable.

1. Ditch salt, uneccesary in my opinion anyway. Bad for health also.
2. Well popped corn does not have this problem
3. Use a butter substitute, or none at all. Possible a better butter substitue will eventually be made that will cook better.
4. Again, well popped.

All in all, the whole thing would be fixed with using a different cooking oil. This would cut down on the fat content (which is mostly why popcorn is bad for you) as well as making the cooking more even and elemenating the non-fully popped corn as well as kernels.

Any recommendations on cooking oils, then? I'm mostly going with either pre-packaged stuff or movie theatre popcorn, although the quality skyrockets with popcorn popped in a popcorn popper. Also, any particular preparation techniques you'd be willing to share?

There, you said the best way to make pop corn, with a hot air pop corn popper. Because only the popped kernals come out you will not have to worry about the hard kernals chipping teeth and removing fillings. The air causes the pop corn not to pick up any fatty and greasy badness. But the air popper cuts down on flavor, so one can simply add a little salt and BAM flavor heaven. Making pop corn the best food isn't as hard a growing a p***s on your arm, it is very simple if you just go at it through a healthier method.

OH and share and there rhyme 3nodding Yah for me!

You sir, are not under any circumstances, to question the ways of the mighty Reiduck.

Popcorn is awesome stuff, and air popped is the best tasting and the best for you.
This is not a serrious issue. I could report you.
re Reiduck, Smatthew, ZenBlend: Every single post that this thread recieves concerning whether or not I've brought a worthy issue to this forum is spam.

If any of you wants to challenge the legitimacy of this thread, then go ahead and report me. No post, no threats, no attempts to buddy-buddy posters that have yet to accept my challenge.

None of you kids have any clue who I am, do you?

re emoboy360: Very awesome. Thanks for playing along, as well as contributing.

However, I'm also curious as to additional techniques when preparing said popcorn. As I asked Halite15, are there any suggested cooking oils, temperatures, cooking durations, et al?
uh, maybe this should be in like, general discussing or something...
Don't forget about the freshness of the kernels itself. That will affect the quality of the popped corn.

Old stale kernels will pop into dry and tough popcorn. There has to be an optimum moisture content in the kernel to produce the best popped corn.

No, not really.

Seriously guys. I'm probably going to have someone Recycle Bin this thread and remake it, because I've recieved all of [edit] three non-spam replies to this thread. Good ******** job, noobs.

agreed, popcorn is awesome stuff. and by air popped do you mean popped by blowing hot air over it?

That would be correct.
