I'm a true potato chip fan, but there is something about good quality popcorn that brings a smile to most peoples faces. It's usually associated with a fun event and good times like movies, parties or events. it also happens to be a very healthy snack, if you don't drown it in butter. I suggest a light salting while still hot from the pot.

For 6 Quart Stovetop Popcorn Popper. or heavy gauge opt with a tight lid.
Use any popcorn, as little as a teaspoon of any oil and in less than 3 minutes, there will be 6 quarts of delicious, mouthwatering popcorn to enjoy.

Transfer into a serving bowl. Add butter and salt or your favorite seasoning. Tip: Use flavored oil or spices for a new spin.
Caution: Never place an empty popper on the heated stovetop + don’t leave unattended while popping.
