Popcorn is a popular snack that is obviously enjoyed by people of all ages. Some of my fondest memories come from when I would go to the movies when I was younger, get the biggest tub of popcorn, the biggest cup of soda, and the biggest carton of candy the theater had to offer. Unhealthy, yes, but fun, nevertheless. The best part about popcorn is that you can make your own popcorn, just like in the theaters, right in the comfort of your home.
When you make your own popcorn at home, it is a fun activity for the whole family. I mean, come on. Who doesn’t like popcorn? And with the number of seasonings and accessories, you can customize it to your taste and liking. The options are endless, whether you prefer lightly salted, with a slight dusting of cheese flavor, or drizzled with caramel toppings.
Another significant aspect of making your own popcorn at home is controlling the ingredients and how much you use. You can choose the oil, salt, and toppings you love the most. If you are a health nut, you can use an air popper and healthier ingredients; if you’re like me and tip more on the decadent side, load up on our favorite flavored oil and seasonings. It’s totally up to you.
But to make your own popcorn at home, you’ll need a few basic products such as popcorn kernels, oil, salt, and seasonings. And, of course, you need a device such as an air or oil popper to pop the popcorn (What a mouthful). Overall, making your own popcorn at home can be fun and produce a great snack that anyone in the family will enjoy. See the products below to get started or at least get some inspiration.
The Presto Poplite popcorn popper uses hot air instead of oil to make up to 18 cups of healthy, low-calorie popcorn. It only takes around 2 1/2 minutes to pop, so you won’t have to wait long. It uses a butter melter that doubles as a measuring cup, conveniently located on top of the popper. It is easy to clean and comes with a 1-year warranty. The Presto Poplite has a clear plastic cover and uses the measuring cup/butter melter to prevent popcorn from flying around.
The West Bend Stir Crazy Popcorn Machine is a hot oil popcorn popper with a clear, vented cover that doubles as a 6-quart serving bowl.
