I would appreciate it if someone would answer my earlier post about using peanut oil for the popcorn.

Is it good?

Sounds good.

I use coconut oil.

I've heard several people say coconut oil.

I don't like coconuts.

Does the oil make the popcorn taste even slightly like coconuts?

Whirly Pop + Flavacol + coconut oil + popcorn = win!

This. Don't need the whirlypop though, just shaking the pot on the stove works.

There are threads on how to cook the perfect popcorn and it's how I learned and do it now. It's the whirly bird, coconut oil, clarified butter and flavacol method. And they are correct that it is the best. I cheat and use peanut oil because I always have it around and spray butter.

ETA: peanut oil works just fine although for some reason coconut is slightly better. It's hard to describe why and no I haven't had it taste like coconut.

No bag enters the equation.

You toss it in a paper bag with salt and put it in a bowl. Savages eat soggy popcorn.

Refined coconut oil has no scent or flavor. Unrefined tastes like coconut.

I always add more butter. Real butter. And then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Straight from the bag means one less bowl to wash.

Ever have popcorn at the movie theater? Because movie theaters pop theirs in coconut oil. First time I did this at home, kids thought I was the popcorn God. Of course I did work in the theater back when Empire Strikes back was on the big screen, so I do have a little bit of popping experience.

That popper is pretty cool, and the fact it has so much history is awesome. I would use it too.

As to the machine, yeah, there are some unpopped kernels, but they drop through the grating, so it really isn't an issue.
The Great Northern pre-measured kits are perfect for it. We buy them by the case on Amazon, brings the unit cost to about a buck.

Bag? I never eat bagged popcorn, gross. I use either the red or blue popcorn and coconut oil. Way fewer hulls and tastier.

And, adds a stunning amount of saturated fat.

Use olive oil and it will be much healthier.

On the stove, with olive oil, or bacon fat. My prefered seasoning is McCormick's season all with a packet of Splenda over real butter. It's a great flavor that anyone I've ever served it to loves.

And I've also been known to use chopsticks like an earlier poster both to keep my hands clean and as to help slow down the devouring.

I pop my own on stove..eat it out of a bowl. That microwave stuff is all too salty.

This, if I can't heat some oil add some kernels cook until popped then remove, add seasonings ~~and butter~~, I don't really want it.

I generally pop my own (kernels in a paper bag in microwave) and then add just butter and salt. I'll dump the popped corn out into a bowl to add the toppings.
