mulegolf This is what my wife and I use, too. We use as little oil as possible and, like you, add salt before the kernels pop. That's all we do...EVERY night (or at least 5 days a week on slow weeks). The problem is that as I have aged I get half the bowl stuck between my teeth! Also, I cracked a tooth and when I went to the dentist he said, "Let me guess. Popcorn." I said, "Yes, do you hear that often." He said, "Almost every day."
