bros how do i step up my popcorn game? i have an air popper but whenever i try to add any salt or any other kind of seasonings/toppings like butter, pepper, sugar, etc

I use a spray bottle. Add warm butter, salt (no pepper what the fuck is wrong with you) then spray as you toss.

Alternatively, coating the kernels in oil butter and then salting without moving things too much helps, but the spray is king.

air poppers suck
use alton brown's metal bowl method, but you can use a lot less fat than it calls for

>bros how do i step up my popcorn game?
here you're options:
option a: kernels popped in a pot/kettle etc. or whirlypop with coconut oil and flavacol. 100% movie theater popcorn.
option b: if you're air popping you need to put the popped kernels in a huge container or paper grocery bag and spray on some oil or butter and shake vigorously, spray again, shake, then add some salt or flavacol, shake again.
air popping is not really recommended if you're looking for that movie theater experience.

Clarified butter. Plain melted butter has too much water in it. It will sog out the corn. Best to add while popping, but can be added later. Add the salt to the clarified butter that you pop the corn in. Coconut oil works too. I like to mix clarified butter with some coconut oil and fine salt. Paprika or chipotle powder with some Truelime tossed on after popping is good. Black pepper with Truelemon is good too.

I know this will sound strange but I add little bit of melted butter and a chicken flavor packet from some ramen noodles. Mix it all up and it's really good.
