I love cooking, and I cook every day for me and my wife (home office since 2008 helps there), and I love hearing about new things. I have the book "The Science of Cooking" which was fascinating.

Amazing popcorn: Corn - 106g or 1/2cup Sunflower Oil - 43g or 1/4cup - 8g of that geing ghee (clarified butter) for godly flavor Salt (flavacol is best)-5g or 1tsp

Combine in 6q or larger pot and move the pot around on the stove, or better yet, use a whirly-pop. (Whirlypop.Com) remove from the stove when there are 2 seconds between pops.

In case it's not obvious, you need to keep the lid on or use a splatter guard for safety purposes.

Microwave the result for 30 seconds to remove excess moisture for better crunch and less squeak.

Legend has it a similar recipe would work in a microwave safe bowl, but I'm not a heathen so I never tried it.

If using plain salt, uniodized salt that is ground into a fine powder works best.

Enjoy and tell me about your results.
