Ok, here is my plan

That's what we did for years but now that I have a glass top stove, can't use that method. So the whirley popper works great. its the same concept really but its thinner than most pots so it cooks the corn quickly.

Just curious, why can't you? We've had a glass top stove for about 15 years and I make popcorn this way about once a week.

I have a stove top popper. The Whirley. It has a hand crank and uses oil. It only takes a few minutes and makes the best popcorn.

Us too, and I agree it tastes awesome--much better than microwave.

The downside is somebody has to clean it. Not a huge ordeal by any means, but microwave popcorn you just wad up the bag and throw it away.

Because the maintenance/instruction booklet that came with it said not to. Guessing it could scratch and weaken the glass?

I have this one. It stays on the counter and doesn’t take up much space. DS melts butter in microwave and pours it on top. It’s tasty

Huh, interesting. Our stove was here when we moved in so never saw the maintenance booklet. FWIW, we don't have any scratches and it still looks brand new after 15 years.

We just got one of these. Works great!

I hired this guy to come over and make it whenever I get the popcorn craving.

You turn the crack to move the kernels around. It takes the place of shaking the pot.

You can also try this version.

The full automated one (like I posted) is too much work? Be glad you didn't buy the hand crank one.
