Fantastic! This is just how my Mom made it... And she was was a real Fanny Farmer fan. Thx for posting! As someone said, those were the days... I can't wait to try some of the olive oil, herb and garlic topping folks came up with. I would really suggest to other posters to try cooking the corn in canola oil instead of say coconut or palm oil if you want to keep this healthy. Read the labels before you choose your oil to stay heart healthy!

I came across this recipe while viewing the reviews and wanted to review and rate this recipe. This is the only way I pop popcorn. I think it is ten times better than microwave or air popped. What I usually do is basically the same as this recipe says but I add my butter in with the oil and popcorn. I also do something totally different, I mix together seasoning salt,black pepper,salt and alittle Greek seasoing salt and sprinkle on hot popcorn after put into a large bowl. Its awesome! Thanks for sharing this recipe here at zaar! Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.

Yes this is the way to do it. I use coconut oil, (refined so no coconut flavor)and since this oil is so light, it give the popcorn no oily taste. Movie theaters use coconut oil exclusively and in recent years coconut oil has been redeemed as an actually healthy product. I also skip the lid, and use a splatter screen instead to let all of the steam escape, because a tight fitting lid will yield tougher popcorn, and it seemed that I always got some soggy pieces from my lid catching the steam.
