When my wife first moved in she made me watch all of Little House on the Prairie. Ever since then popcorn has become a regular thing here. It’s a perfect low calorie snack.
My standard is peanut oil and popcorn and a little bit of koshi salt on top once it’s done. I just use a standard pot for making mine because I’m not about to deal with a popcorn maker.
Sometimes we’ll shave some red dark pepper chocolate just sprinkle on top. Sometimes my wife wants Raisinets in hers.
Rarely I’ll use Bacon fat instead of peanut oil. On extra rare occasion I might use duck fat.
We never put butter on it because we don’t tend to stock salted butter, although that is changing now that I’m making more sourdough. So maybe I will add some water to it in the near future.
What are you doing with your popcorn?
Cost per person: 38¢
If you have a coffee or spice grinder, grind up your salt to a fine powder, it spreads so much easier over popcorn.
We have a glass microwave container here that works well enough for making it though. Not the best, but it does the job.
Be warned that depending on the grinder, this can be incredibly bad for it.
Not worse than oyster shells.
I don’t get it. Who is grinding oyster shells for cooking and why?
People with chickens sometimes supplement their chicken’s feed with ground oyster shells to increase calcium. Instead of buying pre-ground oyster shells they will try to make their own. And in the process they destroy their blender or coffee grinder blades.
