Shotgun Popcorn Salter

Table salt doesn’t stick to un-oiled popcorn, presenting a problem to health conscious popcorn eaters who are trying to avoid unnecessary oil in their diet. You could use fine grain salt, of course, which does stick to un-oiled popcorn. But who has enough kitchen space for two types of salt?

Enter the Shotgun Popcorn Salter (SPS), the solution to the long frustrating problem of salting un-oiled popcorn with table salt.

The SPS operates much as the Bugasalt fly killer (see reference A), but it intentionally fires bursts of salt in a wider diameter of spray. Simply aim the SPS at your bowl of unsalted popcorn and fire away.

Unlike salting oiled popcorn, where the salt sticks to the oily popcorn surface, the SPS embeds grains of table salt into the popped kernels. Problem solved.
