Is There A Difference Between Microwave & Popcorn Popper Popcorn?

[grinningghost]

I say yes. The popcorn popper kind is more like movie theater to me.

But I think it's all in my head.

I do agree that the 2 taste different - at least to me they do, probably not the kids. They prefer me popping it vs. the microwave b/c they can watch it pop. And they have just discovered the Jiffy pop that you put on a stove burner and shake and the foil expands to look like a mushroom head - they think it is too funny...

Try different brands/types of microwave popcorn - we LOVE Pop Secrets Homestyle popcorn - right amount of butter & salt taste and VERY addicting!!!

I prefer making popcorn in the air popper. To me, it tastes better and I can control what goes on it. Always real butter (but just a bit) and a small amount of salt.

I hardly ever make microwave popcorn--once a year or so at work.

Microwave popcorn doesn't taste as fresh and has a greasy taste to it. There's definitely a difference.

Yeah - that's exactly what I'm thinking!

Have you ever tried to pour melted butter over microwave popcorn?

The kernels that get buttered actually shrink!!

The best popcorn is still stove popped ...(JMHO)

Microwave popcorn seems to get cold so fast. I need to look into getting an airpopper.
