How to Cook Popcorn Without a Microwave (9 pics)

popcorn with taste of beer

Wow, that looks really safe. No chance that a bit of popcorn would fall out, land in the flames and catch fire at all.

Because microwave ovens haven't been invented yet.

Obviously the dirt is clean to his wife? :04:

It won't work.
Despite the oil, unless you agitate the kernels somehow, the bottom ones will burn and the top ones won't pop. You'll get an oily, blackened pile of unpopped hulls, a few kernels of popcorn (maybe) and the rest all mushed with oily mash of burnt popcorn goo.

Basically he just failed to reinvent the basic, old fashioned popcorn popper.

(There are tons that have a geared shaft to let you turn the crank away from the heat - don't be a pussy.)

Those are the same bowls I have!

I love popcorn! -think I will stick to using a pot and lid though...

Or, you could do something crazy like just use a covered pot with a bit of oil. Still not perfect but probably more likely to work than this junk.

Don't stop there, bro. At least your'e a thinker and may invent something to hit the jackpot with.

My grandma used to make popcorn in a pan with a pan lid... now we all want things easy.
