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.
