Can I use hot air popcorn any other way ?

Question

I have hot air popcorn but dont have a hot air popper, can I use the popcorn kernels to make popcorn any other way ?

Answer 1

Yes-I used to pop mine(this sounds strange) in a bundt cake pan--and I'd put a regular large pot lid over it. I'd heat up the butter real good, and add the kernals-shaking it often. Shaking it often is the key to not burning it. It will pop like crazy, and try to let a little air in while its popping-it doesn't pop exactly the same, as the popcorn may pop a bit smaller, but it works!

Answer 2

Ok, those corn kernels must be from circa 1982, or whenever microwaves hit the market. The popularity of hot air poppers (and their popcorn) died within about a year of MW popcorn being available.

I believe I'd pitch them; they probably won't pop well anyway and you can buy more very inexpensively.

Answer 3

you can't put them in the microwave, but you can pop them on the stove in a pan with a lid and a bit of oil.....it is fantastic, you will never eat it any other way!!! don't forget how much the popcorn will "pop" up so use a bigger pan then you need! and on top of it all....it's FUN!
