I prefer to airpop it in the microwave and then spritz EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) on afterwards. EVOO is delicious, and unrefined oils like EVOO retain more flavor if you don't heat them.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Oh, that’s brilliant! We got a whirly-pop last Christmas and have just been using generic vegetable oil but it definitely doesn’t improve the taste any. Looking forward to trying this.
I use bacon grease.

That’s great and all, but if any discussion about popcorn on the stove doesn’t involve Flavicol, it’s simply incomplete.
I tried ghee, it tasted awful. Butter flavored coconut oil is where it's at.
Peanut Oil is the answer. High smoke point, taste negligible.
- Not buttery
- Although it probably doesn't kill the housemate with the peanut allergy, it makes them very uncomfortable and possibly costs them a significant medical bill.

~~Is this a protip to make popcorn more enjoyable when Reddit goes to shit on the 1st of July? 😅~~
So store bought ready to pop microwaveable "buttered" popcorn is not with ghee, right?

@fubo
I agree. Ghee is very nice for popcorn. And for everyone who isn't into milk products, vegetable ghee has the same qualities and flavor profile.

Ghee is not an oil. Other than that I agree.
YSK: Cows are raped & slaughtered for butter
why are you minimizing rape & sexual assault?
Being against sexual assault of cows minimizes it how?
By equating artificial insemination in cattle to rape.
You're just using shock tactics to garner attention. Do you even care about how your minimization affects rape & sex assualt survivors?
Sexually assaulting cows is bad just as sexually assaulting people is bad, no minimizing.
butter is made from raped & dead cows?
Cows can be raped?
Do we send cow rapists to cow jail? If a cow is in a field with a bull, do we arrest the bull pre- or post- mount?
also if cow/bull interaction is that then do we need to arrest the wild buffalo, wildebeast, etc?
