So lately, I've been on a popcorn kick. I used it as my "refill carb" a meal or two after a workout. Costco has an 8lb container of plain popcorn, and so I bought some and have been cooking it pretty much nightly, trying out different methods since I don't really have a popcorn cooker (any suggestion welcome, but I've been putting it into a bowl and using another bowl on top to keep it contained).
So tonight, I figure "Hey, I'll use some flaxseed oil to make it moist for the Molly McButter..." which I normally use vegetable or canola oil. So, I throw it in a paper bag, like my roommate suggested the other day and put it in the microwave.
And four minutes later, I have a half burnt bag of popcorn, the house STINKS of burnt popcorn coated with burnt flaxseed oil!!!
I didn't care about the nutritional qualities of the flaxseed being ruined, I just figured it was healthier than the other oils I use.
Moral of the story, cooking with Flaxseed oil, in any way, shape or form, should be avoided!!!!
