I just use heart healthy (so it says on the bottle anyway) canola oil. I like to use white popcorn, and just salt it (I use sea salt). I like to have it buttered when I buy it in the movies, but seldom do that at home. I use a big and deep saucepan and when it starts to pop I keep turning the heat lower and lower so that it doesn't burn.

I remember the olden days when they told us coconut oil was "bad" because it was solid at room temperature! My favorite popcorn popper is an old saucepan I have, with a tight fitting lid...

LOL, so do I. If you wait long enough it will be bad again. Seems the way it goes with a lot of stuff. Can't have vegetable oil, it must be canola, no no now it's olive, wait coconut oil is in.

I ran a coconut through my juicer once and all the oil stuck to the basket, it was pretty good but way too much work for maybe a fourth a cup.

Pour just enough popcorn kernels into a brown paper bag to barely cover the bottom. Fold top over 2 times and microwave on high. Mine takes about 2 and 1/2 minutes. I then add melted (real) butter and salt to taste.

This is the best popcorn ever!

Everyone I've made this for has said they'd never make popcorn any other way.

I use the brown bag or the pot with olive oil and then sea salt methods. I am not convinced coconut oil is good for you. It would take a lot to convince me of that.

I will definitely try this!

I like Healthy Choice, low sodium and low fat. Use the microwave to pop the kernels in the bag. I even re-do the un-popped ones if there are many. Love popcorn as an occasional treat.

Coconut oil. ...get mine at Costco . It's organic,has a lovely taste,and it very inexpensive. I also use it for other things...cuticles,my teeth,dogs skin.

I use coconut oil for all my cooking,yes for pop corn.It is very good for you.

I used coconut oil in my Stir Crazy popcorn maker and the oil started to smoke a little. Needless to say, I never used it again. Did I do something wrong? Everyone seems to use it without any problems. Any suggestions?

I do it a little bit different. I have an air popper and after the popcorn is done I put 3 tablespoons of coconut oil on, or sometimes peanut oil, and mix it around, then a put some Himalayan salt on it, and it's very good and a healthy snack.
