Get you a Whirley-Pop. You can put the butter in with the kernels go.
You can also get packs that include oil, kernels, salt, and butter powder that come out like theater popcorn and taste great (included some in the link above). I add some cheddar powder to that for cheesy popcorn when we have people over to watch movies and it’s a huge hit.
Edit: important note, add the cheddar powder AFTER popping, because it will burn if you put it in before popping and it will smell awful. Don’t make my mistake!
for a more buttery taste you can replace the oil with ghee or clarified butter, both of which have a higher smoke point than plain butter, to pop the popcorn.
I thought ghee was clarified butter?
ghee is clarified butter but clarified butter is not always ghee. ghee can be browned whereas clarified butter is as soon as the milk fats separate and not cooked further.
Mmmm, bronchiolitis obliterans. Being serious, the common name for the disease is "popcorn lung" because it was first identified in a microwave popcorn plant and it's caused by inhaling certain chemicals often used in flavored popcorn.
Right. Yes. Diacetyl and its ilk are not something you want to breathe in, well aware. I used to vape, years ago, and mixed my own liquid. Popcorn lung was always a big topic in the DIY scene.
The workers who developed popcorn lung were working around vats of the shit, breathing in large quantities on the daily. But still, the risk was enough to never trust any buttery flavors for vaping.
Occasionally cooking butter-flavored or butter-laden popcorn is not a problem though.
