I was having a discussion about popcorn with pmjv somewhere else that I want to continue. To recap, this is the best way to prepare popcorn:1. Get a big stainless steel pot2. Put your popcorn kernels in such that none are stacked atop each other3. Put just enough of a high smoke point neutral oil in the pot to quarter-submerge the kernels4. Put the lid on and crank the stove to high heat5. DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHILE THE HEAT IS ON. IF YOU NEED TO WALK AWAY TURN IT OFF. IF YOU LEAVE IT ON AND UNATTENDED YOU WILL BURN YOUR RESIDENCE DOWN6. Wait for it to start popping7. Shake the pot every 2 seconds to keep the kernels moving8. Once popping slows to 5 seconds between pops, turn the heat off9. In another smaller pot, melt some butter10. Move the popped popcorn to a bowl11. Take some fresh cheese curds, put them in the bowl with the popcorn12. Pour the melted butter onto the popcorn-curd mix13. Salt14. Shake15. Eat
