Stove Top Popcorn Pot

Wait for the popcorn kernels to pop.

Stove top popcorn pot.

Place the oil popcorn and salt in a large 6 quart metal mixing bowl. 1 heat the oil. Put the covered pot on the burner and turn the heat on medium high. Some poppers are built out of aluminum but this one is made out of solid stainless steel.

Take the heaviest lidded pot you have cast iron is ideal and cover the bottom with a single layer of kernels. 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. Put 2 kernels of popcorn into the pan cover and wait to hear them both pop. 2 put 3 or 4 popcorn kernels into the oil.

I use my dutch oven cover and cook over medium high heat until all 3 kernels pop. Take the three kernels out of the pot. Cover with heavy duty aluminum foil and poke 10 slits in the top with a knife. Periodically shake the pan.

In a large heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat combine the oil and 2 popcorn kernels. Add the coconut oil and 3 popcorn kernels to a large pot. It s easy to understand why so many people like it. Put the lid on the pan and nudge the dial.

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. Cover the pot and wait for the kernels to pop which might take a few minutes. Cover pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat. 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.

Place the bowl over medium heat and shake. Remove the pan from the heat take out the 2 popped kernels add in the remaining kernels cover and let sit for 1 minute. Remove cover add corn and sugar. If you are using coconut oil allow all of the solid oil to melt.

Pour water over top of the the kernels until they re covered but not floating. In a thin and shallow 3 1 2 quart pot heat the oil over high heat. In the meantime place a large serving bowl near the stove so it s ready when you need it. Heat the oil in a 3 quart thick bottomed saucepan on medium high heat.
