Ingredients
1 tbsp vegetable oil
100 g popcorn kernels
Method
Saucepan Method
1
Heat a large saucepan to medium-high temperature.
2
Add vegetable oil.
3
Add kernels to the hot saucepan, gently shaking the pan back and forth to ensure even coverage at the bottom of the pan. Cover with a lid and take off heat (to gently allow the kernels to heat up evenly).
4
After 30 seconds, move the saucepan back on to the heat.
5
As the popcorn pops, gently shake the pan back and forth while still on the heat.
6
When popping slows, remove from heat and place into paper bags to serve or allow to cool before storing in zip lock plastic bags.
Microwave Method
7
Place popcorn and oil in a large microwave proof bowl and cover with a microwave proof cover or plate.
8
Cook on high for approximately 5 minutes or until popping slows.
9
Place into paper bags to serve or allow to cool before storing in zip lock plastic bags.
Tip
- Using the saucepan method and letting the kernels come to an even temperature before popping helps to reduce the number of un-popped kernels.
