- Popcorn Maker or Stovetop: You can make popcorn using a popcorn maker or on the stovetop in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Temperature Control: Keep the heat on medium-high and shake the pot or popcorn maker constantly to ensure even popping.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pot: Avoid overcrowding the pot with popcorn kernels to prevent uneven popping and burning.
- Remove Unpopped Kernels: Once the popping slows down, remove the pot from the heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Pick out any unpopped kernels.
- Seasoning Techniques: Season the popcorn while it's still hot to ensure the seasonings adhere well. You can use melted butter or oil to help the seasonings stick.
- Storing Popcorn: Store leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the popcorn in freezer-safe bags for up to 2 months.
