microwave is most conveint, but I would have to line them all up in a row and taste each before I could decide

I have a very old heavy pan with tons of oil burned on the outside where its dripped down. I put in olive oil or peanut oil and really good popcorn, slap on the lid and let 'er rip. I add a few shakes of good sea salt once I've dumped the popcorn into my big favorite bowl and I'm ready to go. YUM!

Oh my, YES! Yes!

Don't you miss the old movie theater popcorn the way they made it in coconut oil or whatever it was, and now they have the "healthy" Orvil Reddenbacher. BLECH!

I don't really care for air popped, but I do like one particular brand of microwave popcorn. It's Pop Secret Homestyle with real Land O'Lakes butter. MMMMMMM.

Orville Redenbacher's movie theater butter! Yummy. DH prefers Pop Secret. He pops his and I pop mine.

Movie theater. With tons of butter and that great salt they use

I agree 100%

Also - it depends on popcorn brands & timing & equipment.

Not all air poppers pop the same just like different microwave brands taste different at different cooking times.

edited to add:
My old popcorn popper seemed to pop much more evenly than my air popper. As easy as microwave popcorn is - a popcorn popper/movie popcorn is the best!

Orville Butter in the microwave is just fine and dandy with me.

microwave popcorn for us, although I love move theater popcorn with all the butter,, yummy,

At home we do the microwave that comes with the pour over butter, but my favorite popcorn is from the movie theater where you get to put your own butter on.

Me too! Except I hate taking out a second mortgage to pay for popcorn!

I make it in the hot air popper (that thing is probably 25 years old and still going great!) And then, I make up all the calories I save in oil by dousing it in real butter.

Our movie theatre sells refillable buckets twice a year that are good for 6 months. For 25 cents, you can have them put real butter on it.

I love my popper. I also put tabasco in the oil to give it a nice kick.

I like mine from the microwave slightly singed....it's a fine line trying to burn your popcorn just enough to be tasty without setting the microwave on fire.

My hubby makes the BEST popcorn on the stovetop. That's the only way I like it. Microwave popcorn has a chemical taste that I don't care for.

Here's a tip for you stovetop poppers. Put the salt in the oil before you pop the corn. It will get your popcorn nice and evenly salty. A little Alton Brown trick I learned.

We also put butter on them. We love popcorn so much that when we were just in WDW, I made sure to get three popcorn buckets so that we could bring them home and have them for our popcorn back home. YUMMM!

I use the microwave and like the movie theater butter flavor.

I used to like the popcorn at the movies, but whatever they put on as a topping now makes me so sick to my stomach after eating it, it's not even funny. It's ruined the whole going to the movies experience.
