We don’t own a microwave so this is how we make popcorn all the time. It is soooo delicious! My kids are popcorn snobs now….they won’t even touch the microwave stuff. 🙂

i eat stove top popcorn on a daily basis… i love that you are placing a recipe on here! i hope everyone starts eating it! its a good snack– not too heavy and not too unhealthy! i use oil and butter in mine; i actually pop the butter in with the oil and popcorn and salt. it all goes in the pot and then it pops up! YUM. a different taste than pouring the butter over it, but i use less than 2 tablespoons of butter for a huge bowl of popcorn; that really isnt that bad! oh, and popcorn is so cheap, too! (can't say ive never brought my own into the theatre) hope everyone enjoys the stove top popcorn!

The Whirly Pop pot is the bomb! We never have done the microwave popcorn…I eat too much and those little bags never fit the bill for me. Now that I have learned of how unhealthy anything microwaved is, I am glad that I never was hooked on the popcorn. A little fat is good for you…I use coconut oil or olive oil on our popcorn. It's so yum!

We just recently did stovetop popcorn too (after not making it for many, many years) – sadly, my son didn't realize you could that that. He was amazed. 🙂

I love stove-topped popcorn – can't eat the microwave stuff – its just gross. I got a WhirleyPop a couple of years ago since I have a flat top stove and couldnt shake my pan on it. It's probably my second most used "appliance" in my kitchen next to my KitchenAid. We love it and just add a little salt as well.

I love popcorn like this. Sometimes the microwave stuff tastes too chemically!

I am not exaggerating – I make popcorn on the stove every day. It is my 'go to' snack. I use coconut oil, it makes it taste like old-school movie popcorn – SO good.

I have been using Simply Recipes popcorn recipe for months and months! I LOVE IT! I don't buy packaged popcorn packets anymore. It's filled with chemicals. Blarg!

I use this recipe to make cracker jacks with. Oh...my...gravy. So good.
