Popcorn Chat šŸæ

Haven’t checked this thread for a while. If I’d known I was going to stumble on this today I’d have bought popcorn while I was at Tesco last night.

Oh totally, but from my own experience (others might have different) any VC I’ve ever been involved with has only really cared about one thing, the bottom line. Maybe I need to find company with more ethical VCs perhaps.

You’re really reaching. I don’t think that’s what @simonb is saying at all. In fact the opposite I belive?

Mines always sweet and salty. So if you’re buying…

The BEST combo!

When at the cinema I ask for sweet on the bottom and salted on the top. Savory starter followed by a sweet dessert.

Toffee popcorn is quite nice too :popcorn:

I was just about to post this. It’s the best. Dead easy to make and super tasty.

We went through a phase of buying flavoured sugar (aka seasoning) off Ebay for popcorn and trying things like candyfloss. That made a nice change too.

It’s nowhere near the same as homemade though :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: and it’s still nice and warm too!

Still talking about popcorn?

Does anyone have any good airfryer popcorn recipes?

Lies.

A roast chicken is real good from it.

Popcorn id be concerned it blowing about and getting caught on the heat element and causing smoke/fire :joy:

You could, I’d just be anxious about it :joy:

That won’t stop me, I can’t read!

No.

I mean, it’s fair to say that on a basic level, an air fryer and a popcorn machine work the same way, broadly speaking. There’s a heating element, it makes the air hot, and the corn pops.

The difference is a popcorn machine will have the element at the bottom, so the corn pops into either space or some kind of delivery mechanism or spout. But an air fryer has the element at the top and the corn will pop into it, potentially destroying your air fryer.

So… probably not an experiment to embark on. Unless you have a spare disposable air fryer, I guess.

This one works for me.

Started reading, wondered how they’d solved the problem of the element being at the top. Thought it might be a bag, but no, it’s not a bag. What other clever thing did they come up with? Are they going to tell us? How long must I keep reading?

And then.

Then there is the top of the inside of the air fryer where the corn has stuck during the popping process:

Oh.

It looks worse in their pictures than in my experience. It more or less just all fell off.

I’m a salted popcorn kind of guy. I do miss when Odeon put butter on the popcorn.

I use a heated element popcorn maker. Best lockdown purchase I made.
