If you use caster suger, the finer grains will stick to the popcorn better. Just sprinkle over the popped corn afer tipping it into the bowl. (Icing sugar will actually melt a little bit in the residual steam coming from the popped corn, and will glaze the popcorn, giving it a slightly crunchy coating.)

Hummm! Thats probably where I went wrong then. I had the gas on full flame and the toffee it made tasted awful. Very bitter and burnt!

Hi all

I absolutely LOVE popcorn, but I'm trying to save money and lose some weight so I'm looking into alternatives to the shop-bought stuff.

I figured you guys would know the whys and wherefores, what's hot and what's not in the world of DIY popcorn... I'd be happy to shell out for a popcorn maker if it's healthier than making it in a pan as it would get lots of use.

All suggestions, information, recipes and advice welcome.

TIA

Last time I made popcorn it was surprisingly simple. Put some popping corn in a container with a lid and whacked it in the microwave. I set the microwave for 10 minutes, then when the corn slowed in popping I just stopped it. Seem to recall it was about 6 minutes. Added a little salt, it was great.

Buy an air popper - its the healthiest - it uses hot air to pop the kernals; no fat at all. Easier than in a microwave.

I have an air popper (shaped like a duck!).
Must admit, I got it out this week for the first time in about two years. It does make healthy popcorn - my current tip is to spray the fresh popped corn with a bit of Frylight before sprinkling salt/cayenne pepper/cinnamon or whatever, to help it stick a bit. Otherwise, you just end up with a load of seasoning at the bottom of the bowl.
I read something on the internet that said you could pop kernels in a paper bag in the microwave without oil...
