What's the minimum amount of oil for making popcorn?
My wife makes popcorn by adding the corn to a pan, then tilt the pan and add oil until the popcorn is just covered. This seems to be a lot of oil. Does anybody know how to make popcorn with less oil?
Best Answer
The way I do it is put 1-2 tbsp of oil in my pot, add 1/3 cup or so of corn, cover, and heat on medium until it starts popping, then turn down a bit and shake the pot occasionally until it is all popped. So, not oil free, but not a whole lot of oil either.

Snacks should taste good! Stovetop popcorn tastes way better with as little as one tablespoon of oil for eight servings.

Answer 2
If you use an air popper, you don't need any oil.
I still add a little bit back in (with a pump sprayer), so the salt will stick ... but you could theoretically use none at all.n
Answer 3
The minimum amount of oil to do popcorn is ZERO! here is the trick to make popcorn with less oil!
Edit: The method described by 'the trick' is to add a half cup of corn to a plain brown paper bag. Fold the bag closed, and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes on high. When the corn stops popping (less then two pops per second), take it out of the microwave. Add flavoring to taste.
Answer 4
I remember reading when I bought my whirley pop, to use 2 tablespoons of oil per 1/2 cup of corn. It works out fine for me, although if I'm cooking it with butter as the oil, I usually add 3 tablespoons (because butter isn't entirely fat).
