Best 3 Popcorn Time Reddit Recipes

PERFECT POPCORN

Steps:

• Place the oil, popcorn and salt in a large, 6-quart, metal mixing bowl. Cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and poke 10 slits in the top with a knife.
• Place the bowl over medium heat and shake constantly using a pair of tongs to hold the bowl. Continue shaking until the popcorn finishes popping, approximately 3 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the heat and carefully remove the foil. Stir in any salt that is on the side of the bowl.
• Melt the butter in the microwave. Slowly drizzle over the popcorn, while spinning the bowl. Serve immediately.

CAJUN-SPICED POPCORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the popped popcorn in a large roasting pan.
• In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, paprika, lemon pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Pour over the popcorn and stir until it is somewhat evenly coated.
• Bake for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for later.

REAL POPCORN

Steps:

• Put the oil in the bottom of a large, deep saucepan (6 quarts or so) with a cover; turn the heat to medium. Add 3 kernels of corn and cover.
• When the kernels pop, remove the cover and add the remaining corn. Cover and shake the pot, holding the lid on as you do so. Cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until there are a few seconds between popping sounds (a few unpopped kernels are inevitable). Meanwhile, melt the butter (here's where the microwave comes in handy) if you're using it.
• Turn the popcorn into a large bowl; drizzle with the butter and sprinkle with salt; toss and serve.
