Recently, I stumbled upon Eating Rules, and a blog post that revealed (in the words of Andrew himself) “a dirty little secret of the microwave popcorn industry.”
IT’S ALL A SHAM.
Read his post and you’ll never have the urge to buy store bought popcorn again. Basically, you can make popcorn on your own! In your own brown paper bag. The exact same way. In a freakin’ microwave. This is all you have to do:
- Put a 1/4 cup corn kernels in a brown paper bag
- Fold the bag closed, and microwave on high for about 3 to 4 minutes. Just like store-bought popcorn, you need to listen to the popping. Once there’s about 2 seconds in between pops, it’s ready!
- Pour the popcorn into a bowl, (there will be a little less than what you’re used to with microwave popcorn from the store but who cares) sprinkle on your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
It’s THAT freakin’ simple. You’re welcome. Andrew Wilder, you’re freaking brilliant.
OK, so on to the important stuff: the toppings. I suggest the following . . . Truffle Oil, Sea Salt, freshly ground Pepper, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. HELLO?! What?! Sounds freaking great, right?
And you can’t just buy any Truffle Oil. . you need to get the good stuff. Word. O&CO. Nuff said. But keep reading. . .
