Kitchen Quick Tips - Popcorn
Give up that chemically laden microwave popcorn for real popcorn popped on the stove. All you need is a pan with a lid. It less than the time of microwave popcorn you will have fresh popcorn that you can top with healthy toppings or eat plain. You will be saving money while getting a healthier product.
Home made food recipes are hard to beat. They look unique and taste as you want them to. The method you suggested is eco friendly; with the added benefit of savings.According to culinary research, if we close the lid of a cooking pot well, we save 10% of energy. You can see how that translates into a year of cooking.

ReplyDeleteOK, so maybe it wasn't eco friendly, but I loved my air popper. Remember those? Popcorn was so crunchy and tasty, with no oil. I've also popped popcorn in a paper bag in the microwave.
I do agree, stove popcorn is soooo good. Now I'm craving popcorn!
You are so right that homemade foods are hard to beat :)
ReplyDeleteHi Katherine and thanks for visiting. I think an air popper is as eco-friendly as cooking popcorn on the stove. What should be avoided is using microwavable popcorn packets that are laden with salt and chemicals.
ReplyDeleteCraving popcorn is good :)
