It does get easier: air popper. No burning to worry about, works perfectly every time.

Air poppers are great for efficiency and convenience, but I find the consistency a bit chewy for my taste. Efficiency and convenience usually wins though, which is also why microwave popcorn is such a hit.

Yeah, I don't care for air-popped popcorn for that reason, too. But I prefer air-popped over microwave.

I have a vague memory of using an air popper and as far as i remember it wasn’t allowed to add oil. With the silicone ones you add oil and salt at the beginning and can ensure a uniform distribution

Yep, no oil for an air popper. You get the popcorn and that's it. If you want to add fats, you do it afterward.
