Has anyone ever tried it? I can't imagine that it wouldn't work. You'd need some oil and salt, and a pot with a tight lid. And the corn, of course.

I have seen people take a microwave popcorn and rip it open and cook it in there pot with a lid. The microwave popcorn all ready has the oil and salt in it. Put it in the pot and cook it.

Popcorn tips,

Use only enough oil in pot to cover 1 layer of kernels.

Put 3 kernels in oil and heat till they pop.

Cover bottom of pot with 1 layer kernels only.

Ummmmm, popcorn flavored with melted plastic liner (BPA) I'll pass on that method.

I use my Caldera cone turned upside down and shake Jiffy Pop over it. 1oz of alcohol in my V-8 turbo does the job.

little or none - most beer cans (except Keystone) are coated with a thin spray of shellac to avoid the metal taste. Keystone uses plastic. Hot boiling water for a few minutes the first time brings up some residue that can be dumped out and the can can be used safely after that.

Oh really? Where did you get that information? What sort of shellac? "Safely used"?
