You did it. You went out and bought a popcorn machine. No more of that overpriced microwave popcorn that is always getting burned, and really doesn't taste that good when it doesn't.

You get the machine assembled, and are drooling in anticipation of that first batch of theater tasting popcorn. And gag - the microwave stuff is better. Well, what did you expect when you used some old discount brand of popcorn that you popped in vegetable oil, and then finished off with table salt?

Here are some tips for making great tasting popcorn from your home popcorn machine.

Great Tasting Popcorn Tip - Get The Right Popcorn

Purchase your popcorn in plastic, and then you can keep it in glass jars.
