Master Popper



Even before the microwave died, my son Arthur (& husband Kevin) alternated their evening routine popcorn consumption between microwaveable and old fashioned

When I was a kid in the wake of Jiffy Pop & Orvil Redenbacher we had the square pan. Simple stainless steel with a copper bottom, it was and is the best popper around. 

Before they was supersizing, we had those large brown grocery bags, a salt shaker and a good rainy afternoon movie on the couch.  Now it’s a huge stainless steel bowl and Netflix.

With my mother’s (Grammy’s) tried and true splash of oil on the bottom of the pan and a ¼  cup corn kernels, Arthur has taken my place at the Master Popper.

Cheers!
