OMG! It's National Popcorn Day!

How do you make your popcorn?

Do you use a microwave, or an air popper, or are you obsessive like me?

Because I use infused oils - usually rosemary, lemon-pepper or basil - sometimes mixed with a few drops of habanero oil. And I put it into a pot with a clear lid, turn the stove up to high, fill the bottom with kernels, and, when it's done, grind a mixture of pink sea salt and rosemary onto the top of it.

I love popcorn!

Wow, that's hard core. I use un-infused oils - vegetable or peanut, depending which one I'm not out of - and I put it in a pot whose lid is not clear, turn the stove up to high, fill the bottom with kernels, shake while they're popping so they don't burn, and, when it's done, toss with a little melted butter and some ordinary table salt. Minimalist, I am. :-)

I hardly ever eat popcorn, but when I do, it's usually microwave.

I use olive oil, since that's what I grew up with. No salt or butter necessary. Most of the time, I don't even bother to shake the pot.
