You Go Girl!! I hate micro popcorn.. Seeing your pressure kettle makes me smile and reminds me of those cozy nights long ago with my parents ..When making the popcorn was a treat in its self..Mom refused to make the Jiffy pop like i refuse the micro bags... Nothing can compare to kettle popped! YUMMO! {{HUGS}}

You made me hungry. I love your pot, seems like the weight would be just perfect, no old maids left in the bottom. We actually had one of those long handled ones you use to use in the fireplace years ago. I don't know how my Momma put up with all the mess the six of us made! I remember her doing it on top of the old electric stove too. Autumn munchies sure to come from reading your post, later on, frosty cool evenings, a good book, warm cocoa and popcorn!
LOVE IT! I'm craving some fresh popcorn now! ☺
okay....you all that post.....send me your email & i will send you a little bag !blessings~denise
oooohhhhhh! MY mom use to put a tablespoon of bacon grease in when she would pop popcorn....Awwwwwww!!!! Soooooooo Good!!! The best popcorn!!
I love your popcorn popper. :) You won't find the microwave stuff here unless it's for crafting. I do it in a large pot with a lid. We use bacon grease instead of oil sometimes.
Blessings, Jessica
I love popcorn!
It is some yummy stuff!! Right up there with coffee and chocolate for me.
I'll give you my secret...SHHHH! Pour M&Ms in while it is still warm :)
Ohhh wow...bringing back longings here...my mum had the heaviest pot in the WORLD (kinda looked like your old pressure cooker) that we used for popcorn...and it was the BESTEST!! Hmmmm Cousin Willie's you say? Does he have a website??? ;o) You're making me hungry!! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
MMM popcorn - My Mom asked the other year what I wanted for Christmas and I said a Popcorn popper - she's like why - just make microwave - I said no - i want the "real stuff" - So it's a staple in my house !
lol, oh Denise....that brings back memories...I would always make popcorn on the stove for the girls.....they loved it, now both of the girls make it for their kids.....just a simple pleasure indeed!!! love ya, Linda
Oh!! I love popcorn cooked on the stove in oil. That's how my dad did it when we were kids. I think I will treat mine tonight. Thanks for the memory. -Steph-
