AskMefi: How do you make popcorn? "Specifically old fashioned, non microwave stove top popcorn. I really want great salty buttered popcorn that doesn't come from a bag." Lots of great recipes and tips here, really impressive, but I must confess that there is a very special place in my heart for Orville Redenbacher's Ultimate Butter Microwave Popcorn. (And yes, the last time I had a physical, I had low cholesterol.)
