Microwave or make it yourself?

I prefer to make it myself, but microwave has its moments - quicker, easy, no mess, no clean-up.

I hate popcorn because of the gross feeling of having it wedged between your teeth. Makes my mouth feel dirty. Yuck...

And you can crack a tooth on an uncooked kernel.

I readily admit there are times when I decide against it for this reason. Too much teeth-cleaning afterwards. I always have a toothpick handy when eating popcorn to eliminate the piece that gets wedged between the teeth. I don't like that feeling at all.

Mostly microwave, just for convenience. I like it when it's popped over a stove better.

This is my preference, too.

I've never tried the stove top version before. Back when I used to enjoy popcorn, I avoided it because it's higher in trans fat. But I am curious how it taste compared to microwave version.
