I love using the stovetop to pop popcorn!. I usually use organic popcorn!. You need to watch it carefully so it doesn't burn (medium eat and whirl it often)!. I usually put a bit of butter, a pinch of salt, a 1/3 cup of popcorn and just let it pop!. You could melt more butter on the side and add to the popcorn just before you serve!. If you like it spicy, sometimes I'll dice up some jalepenos and toss it while popping the corn!. It adds a little kick to the popcorn!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i usually buy the plain jiffy pop microwave popcorn (usually less expensive) or the plain jiffy pop in the tin container!.!. you know, the kind you shake back and forth on the stove!.!.!.!.!.!.
then i add a white cheddar popcorn seasoning to mine!.!.!.!. Good Eating!.!.!.!.!.!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Put it in a frying pan with some oil, cover with another upside down frying pan!. Heat it until you hear that the corn kernels have almost stopped popping and ther you are! Delicious homemade popcorn!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
