Oh and is it possible to do them in a saucepan?

i do, a little oil and salt and a good shake just make sure its big enough and has a lid

Thanks for the instant responses! I will have to look a bit harder when I go shopping this weekend! Thanks for other suggestions of places to look. I am looking forward to getting rid of my crisps!

I do mine in a pan a little oil and a little butter for flavour but you do need oil to stop the butter burning. Then salt. Yummmy.
Or if you see Orville Redenbacher's microwave corn that works very well. Some of the cheaper microwave corns don't work at all or you get tiny tiny little popped corn bits. Orville Redenbachers are American and fluff up lovely.

Tesco sell them in the wholefoods section (opposite the Polish foods in my local one!)

If not popcorn kernals they may be called popping corn.

I buy mine from Waitrose. I cook mine in the microwave on full power in a bowl with a tiny drop of oil and a plate over the top ( I stir it first). I put it on for three mins but watch it and when most of the popping has finished and there is more of a delay between pops...I take them out.
I find this is a cheap, quick, healthy snack for the kids and sometimes send dd to school with some popcorn or take it to the cinema/ theatre

Most health food stores would sell them. I buy mine from my local market.

I buy them from Asda too.
Does anyone know the best way (if any) to make the sweet version? I have a terrible sweet tooth and the salty ones just don't really do it for me.
