Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn kernels for the best results. Older kernels may not pop as well and may result in a less flavorful popcorn.
  • Make sure the popcorn kernels are completely coated in the oil and spice mixture before popping. This will help ensure that each kernel is evenly flavored.
  • Do not overcrowd the pot when popping the popcorn. This will prevent the kernels from popping evenly and may result in some kernels burning.
  • Once the popcorn starts popping, shake the pot constantly to help distribute the heat evenly. This will help prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
  • Serve the popcorn immediately or store it in an airtight container for later.
