Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I bought an " air " corn popper at a yard sale a few years ago. It's incredible. Ya put in 1/2 cup of popcorn kernals, NO OIL, and let her rip... it's really fast (couple of minutes). Used to put stuff on it like nutritional yeast, herbs, but I've gotten used to just enjoying the flavor of the corn and the crunch... of course, a beer or a good glass of vino on the side helps, too. Don't know what they cost new (got mine for a ridiculous $5), but, imho, a great investment. I just buy corn kernels, plain, and store 'em in glass quart jars. Great, no fat, essentially no calorie, and high fiber snack... FYI, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 That sounds better than microwave...and if you do the research, microwaves are horrible for your food and thus you. I still use one to reheat of course..but for cooking...a no no. Dr Silberstein of the Cancer Center says they should be banned!! Avoid if you can.

I still use one > to reheat of course.. Why of course? Reheating is cooking, too. I mean, I think that the jury is still out on the effect of microwaves on food, but it seems odd to me to say cooking with them is bad, but reheating is fine. (Also, we have no microwave, and we manage to reheat foods fine, so again, I don't really get the " of course " here.) > but for cooking...a no no.

Look at their donors, their purpose, etc. If interested in what anyone has to say about it, check out the American Institute for Cancer Research.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I will have to agree about the American Cancer Society to a point as well. If you want to read about Dr Silberstein from the Center for Advancement in Cancer Education, just go to www.susansilberstein.com She is the director. She has done extensive research on the microwave…among hundreds of other things. You can also read some microwave reports on www.drmercola.com I am, by no means, trying to offend any one person on here. To each his own and we can pick and choose how we improve our health and family’s health in small steps or large. We are all here to help each other. I am not getting on high horse but merely was answering the thread about it being safe or not to microwave popcorn. I am fairly certain I will dump our microwave soon..since we use it so rarely now anyway.
