Jul. 28th, 2006 03:32 amOld Lesson: If you heat the oil in the stove-top popcorn popper very hot before adding the kernels, the popcorn comes out better.
New Lesson: If you heat the oil in the stove-top popcorn popper too hot before adding the kernels, it ignites.
Addendum, since I know I'll get asked:
I'm all right, the house is all right, the stove is all right, and even the pan is all right.
It wasn't really the oil itself that ignited, I think, just the vapor. So there was this "fwoopmh!" noise and a bright orange flash visible through the steam vents, and then nothing. Sorta like the phenomenon you get sometimes when you turn off a gas grill -- a pause and then a sudden quick flame.
I'm not certain whether it was scary or really, really cool.
