Does an air popper make good popcorn?

Movie-theater popcorn might be far from healthy, but air popped popcorn is actually one of the healthiest kinds of popcorn. It doesn’t require any oil to cook—that’s added later to create flavor. This type of popcorn is also hard to burn or overcook since the popcorn is no longer in contact with heat after it pops.

What kind of oil do you use in a popcorn machine?

The most common type that is used is coconut oil. It’s normally regarded as the best tasting, and has long been a staple at movie theaters.

Why is my air-popped popcorn chewy?
