Larry, The last time I made popcorn on the stove I set my potholder on fire. That discouraged me enough so I went out and bought an air popper and a microwave popper. I use store bought raw popcorn but use one or other of my two poppers depending on what I am doing with the popcorn after it is popped. I don't have any advice for you except to be very careful if you use the stove top method. It might be good to use a pan with a lock on lid if you have one. But I would wait and order a safer popper if I were you. I didn't like that almost kitchen fire I found myself facing as I threw my potholder into the dish pan of water in the sink. By the way, if you get an oil fire from the popcorn on the stove, water isn't a good choice for putting it out so don't panic and go there on automatic pilot.

But since I went to on-line shopping this last time, the shopper brought me popcorn in a jar. The popcorn was kernels only. I know you would usually put oil in a pan and then add popcorn. But not sure how safe this is for a blind person on the stove. So if any of you have done this safely in the past, please send along your suggestions. Thank you in advance.
