Steps:
- Place the butter in a glass measuring cup with a spout. Microwave on high for 30-40 seconds until foamy. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, to allow the layers to separate.
- Using a spoon, gently scoop off the foamy top on the butter and discard (no need to be perfect, just get as much as you can). Set the butter aside while you make your popcorn.
- In a large soup pot with a lid, melt the coconut oil over high heat. Add in the popcorn kernels, and swirl to coat all the kernels.
- Shake the pot frequently to avoid burning. Once the first kernel pops (about a minute or two), immediately place the lid on the pot, but leave it ajar so steam can escape.
- Continue shaking the pot frequently until the popping slows down. Once it does slow down, remove the pot from the heat and let sit for a few minutes while the final kernels pop.
- Once all the kernels are done popping, slowly stream the butter over the popcorn, stopping when you reach the opaque part of the melted butter (see photo in post). Discard the remaining butter or save for another use.
- Stir the popcorn, and then season with the desired amount of salt.

MOVIE-THEATER-STYLE POPCORN

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a medium heavy pot (preferably cast iron). Heat over high, stirring, until butter melts. Cover, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook, undisturbed, until kernels begin popping rapidly.
- Offset lid to create a 1/8-inch vent along one side of pot; continue cooking until popping begins to subside, about 2 minutes. Transfer popcorn to a large bowl; toss until cooled slightly, about 2 minutes. Serve.
Tips:
- Use Fresh Popcorn Kernels: Fresh kernels pop better and result in fewer unpopped kernels.
- Measure the Kernels Correctly: Use the correct amount of kernels to avoid overcrowding the pot and ensure even popping.
- Use Good Quality Oil: Choose an oil with a high smoke point, such as coconut oil, avocado oil, or grapeseed oil, to prevent burning.
- Shake the Pot Regularly: This helps distribute the heat evenly and prevents the popcorn from burning.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pot: Overcrowding can prevent the popcorn from popping properly and result in chewy or unpopped kernels.
- Season Immediately: Season the popcorn while it's still hot to ensure the flavors stick.
- Experiment with Different Flavors: Don't limit yourself to just salt and butter. Try experimenting with various spices, herbs, and flavorings to create unique and exciting popcorn variations.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you can easily make delicious and flavorful popcorn at home, just like your favorite movie theaters. Whether you prefer classic buttered popcorn or something more adventurous, the possibilities are endless. So grab your popcorn kernels, fire up the stove, and enjoy a cinematic experience in the comfort of your own home.
