Once I purchased Calpholon pots, all popcorn machines and microwave
popcorn was unnecessary. The best way to make unsalted popcorn is
with a heavy bottomed pot on the stove. How hard is it to wait a
couple of minutes for popcorn to pop in a pan? To be honest, I think
it takes the same time as a microwave. The only difference is that
you can't leave it when the popping is finished. Most people hover by
the microwave anyway, so that's not a problem.
