How To Make Popcorn On Your Stove:
Step 1
Add the popcorn oil to your pot. There should be enough oil to lightly cover the entire bottom. If the oil is in a solid form, be sure to melt it with low heat so the oil lightly coats the bottom of the pan.
A full one ounce bottle holds enough oil for about three small batches of popcorn.
Step 2
Add popcorn kernels to form a single layer on the bottom of the pot.
Step 3
Add popcorn salt to your desired taste. You can add more salt later if you need to spice it up a bit!
Step 4
Secure the pot lid and heat your pot at medium to high heat. As soon as the kernels begin to pop, lightly shake the pan back and forth across the burner to avoid burning the popcorn.
Step 5
When the pops slow to about 3 seconds apart, remove your pot from the stove heat. Taste the popcorn and add additional popcorn salt if you want!
Step 6
Enjoy the popcorn!
