I once pan popped a ton of it and kept it warm in the oven at the lowest
temp. My roommate at the time was having a bunch of people over for a
meeting and I wasn't sure when they would arrive. They loved it and thought
it was freshly popped. Granted it hadn't been sitting there for long.
Maybe an hour.

I just bought a microwave popper for Angela. It is the kind that I used to
use all the time. It's a lidded bowl. Works very well and makes a
reasonable amount. The only problem is if you drop it. Then it just
shatters. I am not sure what it is made of. Looks sort of like plastic but
it's not plastic.

We also got some kettle corn seasoning that claims to have no carbs in it.
I think they get away with that by saying that a couple of shakes is a
serving. She hasn't tried them yet. She has been being very good with her
diet.
