Tips:
- Use a large pot to pop the corn kernels. This will help to prevent the kernels from popping out of the pot and burning.
- Do not overcrowd the pot with kernels. This will also help to prevent the kernels from popping out of the pot and burning.
- Keep the pot covered while the kernels are popping. This will help to trap the heat and ensure that the kernels pop evenly.
- Shake the pot occasionally while the kernels are popping. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the kernels from burning.
- Once the popping sound has stopped, remove the pot from the heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
- Add your favorite toppings to the popcorn and enjoy!
