New account but I've been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I've been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since 
and everytime it's an account from another federation. I was tepidly against federation at first but this has been entertaining, like the old days of 
people who wandered into the sub.
I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let's enjoy it for now.
sometimes i think about landlords and
, usually together. any more questions?
I do have another question I've been thinking about, yeah. It's more for everyone, I'm not singling you out. When you make popcorn at home, do you heat up some butter and pour it on it and shake it up, or do you just add salt and eat it without extra butter?
so the problem with butter is that it has water content, so you're inherently sogging your popcorn if you do that. clarified butter or ghee are good dairy solutions, and coconut oil is similar to what you'd get in a theater.
Coconut oil? Interesting. Thanks
Usually all of my butter fills up my bathtub, but if I eat popcorn while bathing I will dip it in.

I put olive oil, nutritional yeast and powdered sriracha on my popcorn
That sounds delicious
I knew you were a vegan!
But only because of the giant green text.
the text is small in the local ui, which makes this funny in a different way
That's hilarious, this is what I see:
It's so beautiful!
“secret vegan”? What are you using that has custom tags?

I shared what I see in another comment lol the difference is cracking me up
Sprinkle your popcorn with nutritional yeast. Vegan and tasty
Oohhhh, I haven't tried popcorn with nooch yet, this is going on the to-do list
Nutritional yeast and garlic powder is my go to for popcorn.
Oh its excellent, highly recommended
I've read all the answers. They're all wrong.
Get a microwave silicon bowl made specifically for popcorn. It has fill lines and everything.
Pop in microwave until you can count 1 second between pops.
Separately, heat up 3 - 5 tbsp of ghee.
Pour ghee on popcorn. Shake.
Enjoy.
I find that buttering homemade popcorn is a hassle that leads to a soggy kernels if you aren't careful, I usually just add some fine popcorn salt to the frying oil before throwing the unpopped kernels in, imo that's really all you need
Does the salt evenly distribute if you pour it into the oil beforehand? Is the trick that you're using fine popcorn salt?
Yep! If you use a really fine salt, and dissolve it in the cooking oil before you start popping, then it'll coat the popcorn when they start popping and moving around
Here's BDG's popcorn cooking video, which has some good tips
Wait. Like in an air fryer? Like the one I have in the kitchen that I always completely forget about? Oh shit daddy's making popcorn tonight!
Dammit. Thanks for RUINING MY NIGHT!
You can still make popcorn in an airfrier. You can make it in coffee roasters too.
And you can roast coffee in a popcorn maker!
My world is expanding in directions I never thought possible
Are... Are popcorn makers, air fryers, convection ovens, and air coffee roasters the same thing??!
I use a vegan 'butter flavoured' substitute oil as I managed to find some restaurant stuff for cheap (not because
but because it makes it a lot easier to make in a pot). I'm used to popcorn in a neutral vegetable oil with just salt.
BLINDED
depends on the preparation method. cooked in oil, no need for more. airpopped dry you need coconut oil or something to make salt, pepper, other spices stick.
I think this question belongs in /c/chat@hexbear.net. we need a meeting of the minds to resolve this dispute once and for all.
I use canola oil in a sauce pan and pour the kernels on that, and that's enough oil for me. Then I add nutritional yeast, although that doesn't stick very well without extra oil.
