| My husband is addicted to microwave popcorn (a bag a night). I'm worried about health risks of the bag lining & don't love eating all the probably GMO corn. I'd like to get him a popcorn maker & just looked at some on W-S but neither got great reviews. Anyone have one they love? TIA! |

| You don't need a popcorn maker. Just oil and a steel pan. |

| We do ours on the stove but if you want a machine go with a hot air popper. |

| The Whirley-Pop works well. Have also used a regular stainless steel dutch oven with no trouble. |

I do it the old fashioned way (see above)
Works best on a gas stove vs and electric stove. Make sure the pot has a nice, solid bottom. Cast iron skillets work well too. Sooooo much better than microwave popcorn. |

| Be sure to buy popcorn salt. Makes the popcorn taste so much better than using regular table salt. It's finer so it sticks better. |

| Don't get the Waring one from Williams Sonoma. It's terrible. |
