Fuck that Microwave noise!

I'm enjoying my second bowl of organic popcorn cooked on the stove in a pot. Microwave popcorn has been such a part of my life for so long now it didn't really even occur to me to question its benefits. However, not only does my organic stove top popcorn taste better and produce zero garbage, but it also has, over two bowls in a row, produced a *100%* pop rate.

Not a single kernel wasted!

I'm using a fairly standard stainless steel pot, and by doing the shakey-shakey as soon as the popping started, and stopping as soon as the kernel popping stopped, I got perfect popcorn each time. I was also using organic popcorn, which might or might not have made a difference.
