Perfect Popcorn Recipe 3 Tbsp canola, peanut or grapeseed oil (high smoke point oil) 1/3 cup of high quality popcorn kernels 1 3-quart covered saucepan 2 Tbsp or more (to taste) of butter Salt to taste Method 1 Heat the oil in a 3-quart saucepan on medium high heat. 2 Put 3 or 4 popcorn kernels into the oil and cover the pan. 3 When the kernels pop, add the rest of the 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels in an even layer. Cover, remove from heat and count 30 seconds. (Count out loud; its fun to do with kids.) This method first heats the oil to the right temperature, then waiting 30 seconds brings all of the other kernels to a near-popping temperature so that when they are put back on the heat, they all pop at about the same time. 4 Return the pan to the heat. The popcorn should begin popping soon, and all at once. Once the popping starts in earnest, gently shake the pan by moving it back and forth over the burner. Try to keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam from the popcorn release (the popcorn will be drier and crisper). Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid, and dump the popcorn immediately into a wide bowl. With this technique, nearly all of the kernels pop (I counted 4 unpopped kernels in my last batch), and nothing burns. 5 If you are adding butter, you can easily melt it by placing the butter in the now empty, but hot pan. 6 Salt to taste. Makes 2 quarts, a nice amount for two people, or for one hungry one.

Answer 3

you got it in one start off with a small amount of corn coz when them suckers start popping they dont stop and it dont take a lot of popped corn to fill a large pan

Answer 4

popcorn seeds ??? popcorn comes from poped corn not seeds which seeds for corn are also corn just heat it in a pan with some oil or microwave it it will pop

Answer 5

Put a little oil in the bottom of a pan maybe 1 seed deep, put a few 5 or 6 in the oil and when they start to bubble cover the bottom of the pan no more than 1 seed deep with the rest of the seeds and put a lid on the pan.. Shake the pan with the lid on every 10 seconds or so when popping has started.. Wait until there is 3-4 seconds between each pop and then remove from heat or it will burn. put in a bowl and sprinkle with a little salt... enjoy

Answer 6

this is my childhood favorite......put the seeds in a brown paper lunch bag, two plops of butter, dash of salt, 3mins in microwave......oila! enjoy!

Answer 7

Use a heavy-bottomed pan, put in some cooking oil. Put enough popping corn in to just cover the bottom of the pan. Make sure the lid is on!! Heat on high and wait for the pops! When the popping noise finishes, usually after a couple of minutes, then the corn is done.

Answer 8

Pre-heat pan (one that has a cover) Add vegetable oil (not olive oil or butter). About 2 tablespoons per half cup of pop corn. pour in popcorn Give it a shake so all the seeds are covered in oil. When the popcorn first pops, cover and shake it every 3-4 seconds to prevent burning. When the popping slows down to one or two pops every 3 seconds, shut off the stove. Pour popcorn into a big bowl (twice the size of the popcorn so that you can shake up the salt and butter without spilling) Put butter in the popcorn pan and melt Pour butter over popcorn Add salt to taste shake lightly to mix butter and salt Add 1 movie and enjoy

Answer 9

Try melting a knob of butter, or heating a little peanut oil, pop in your popcorn seeds...put on the lid, and just wait for all the noise to die down....your popcorn should be ready in a couple of minutes! Just remember to use a large enough pan.
