2 put 3 or 4 popcorn kernels into the oil.

Stove top popcorn pot.

If you are using coconut oil allow all of the solid oil to melt. Cover the pot and wait for the kernels to pop which might take a few minutes. Heat the oil in a 3 quart thick bottomed saucepan on medium high heat. Take the three kernels out of the pot.

Place the oil popcorn and salt in a large 6 quart metal mixing bowl. Put 2 kernels of popcorn into the pan cover and wait to hear them both pop. Periodically shake the pan. Remove the pan from the heat take out the 2 popped kernels add in the remaining kernels cover and let sit for 1 minute.

Take the heaviest lidded pot you have cast iron is ideal and cover the bottom with a single layer of kernels. Some stovetop popcorn poppers are able to listen and estimate based on the popping sounds or lack thereof when it s time to turn off the heat. In a large heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat combine the oil and 2 popcorn kernels. Obviously making popcorn on the stove is super easy if you have a pot with a glass lid which allows you to constantly monitor the progress of your kernels but what if you don t have glass lids.

Put the lid on the pan and nudge the dial. Remove cover add corn and sugar. Put the covered pot on the burner and turn the heat on medium high. Instructions fill a large 12 quart pot 3 4 full with water.

Put the pot back over the stove on high heat. Pour water over top of the the kernels until they re covered but not floating. Cover with heavy duty aluminum foil and poke 10 slits in the top with a knife. Wait for the popcorn kernels to pop.

1 heat the oil. Cover pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Some poppers are built out of aluminum but this one is made out of solid stainless steel. I use my dutch oven cover and cook over medium high heat until all 3 kernels pop.

Add the coconut oil and 3 popcorn kernels to a large pot. Put the pan over medium heat pour in cup popcorn kernels stir to coat with oil and keep stirring occasionally until the kernels start to sizzle. In a thin and shallow 3 1 2 quart pot heat the oil over high heat. It s easy to understand why so many people like it.
