Anyone snack on popcorn?

I have been a popcorn addict for years, and love the microwave stuff, but sometimes can't stand the salt and worry about the other ingredients...
Sooooo, I found this fantastic microwave popcorn popper for about $9.00 that's just a bowl with a special lid. You put in your regular popcorn and put it in the micro on high for about 4-6 minutes (til it stops popping) It's as healthy as air-popped, but has more flavor.
To add extra flavor (not all the time, but when I need a splurge) I spray it lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle on salt, or other seasoning. The spray helps the seasonings stick but doesn't add a lot of fat. (I know it's chemicals, but it has to be better than the regular microwaved bag stuff) I got some kettle corn sprinkle seasoning (cinnamon, sugar and salt, I think) at Target (they had it for their own popcorn popper) that tastes really really good, too.
I used to live on airpopped popcorn - probably went through a popper every few months in college
mmmmm...now I feel the urge to go make some, and it's way to late for THAT to be a good idea!! Maybe in the morning... ;-)

That's the one I was talking about! I love it - even DH likes the popcorn it makes, and he can be picky (likes the full butter, salt, etc. stuff)
It is really easy to use - the bowl wipes out with a papertowel if you haven't put anything on the popcorn. It's also a good serving bowl, so it's not just another gadget taking up kitchen space with no purpose (Not that I can't find an excuse for those, though!)
The popcorn comes out fairly dry, but not as tasteless as airpopped. If you like seasoning, don't forget the cooking spray - it makes whatever you use stick to the popcorn.
Happy popping!

I am a popcorn addict. I eat it 7 days a week. I buy the 94% Fat Free Smart Pop by Orville Redenbacher also. I spray with a little butter spray and sprinkle with a little Molly McButter cheese flavoring. Yum! I'd like to cut back but everynight at 8:00 my sensors go off and I'm eating by 8:05, ha!
