Popcorn is the perfect snack for long-time popcorn lover Mykela Lowe. As a small child “my mom taught me to make it on the stove and I just stuck with that.”

Lowe says the key to making good popcorn is taking the extra time to cook Orville Redenbacher on the stovetop with just a little bit of vegetable oil. Microwave popcorn, however, does not satisfy because it “never fully pops” and “tastes metallically.”

Once all the kernels have been popped, the expert shared that the only toppings needed are butter and just a pinch salt.
