I come from a family that is obsessed with popcorn. We live for that tasty, crunchy and salty snack. When I started researching who invented popcorn, it became apparent. It wasn’t a single person. Many people have placed their stamp on the delightful history of popcorn through the years. In today’s episode we are going to highlight a few of them.

Housekeeping Stay Tuned

I recently found that I had my account set up incorrectly. It was only allowing you to listen to the 10 most recent episodes of the Toasty Kettle Podcast. In addition to this episode on who invented popcorn, you can now go back and listen to all other 39 episodes. There are some great ones there. I personally love the episode on Bassett’s Ice Cream, Sobrino de Botin, and Chicken Wings. There is a lot of great content there ready for you to dive in and listen.

As always, if you like what you hear, make sure you tell a friend. It really does help grow the show and I super appreciate it.

Today’s Show Is All About Who Invented Popcorn

Today we are going to learn all about who invented popcorn. I make sure to hit all the highlights. I cover the 4 main different varieties of corn.

Of course I had to talk about Charles Cretors, who invented the popcorn popper, as well as Orville Redenbacher, who invented a great popping hybrid, in that discussion.

We also cover the progression of popcorn through history. From the 1920s, through the depression and WWII to microwave popcorn today. There is something here for everyone. Enjoy the show!

Recipe for Movie Theater Popcorn

This is my no frills recipe for movie theater popcorn:

1 tbsp coconut oil1/2 tsp flavacol4 oz unpopped popcorn kernels

Mix the ingredients together in a stovetop popper or pot. Keep the kernels moving so they don’t scorch. Move popcorn to a town as it pops. Enjoy!
