Whether you choose to pop popcorn in an electric popper, on the stove, or over an open fire, follow these tips for perfectly popped popcorn:
First warm the heavy pan or heavy skillet. Be sure the lid of the pan is loose enough to allow steam to escape. Add 1/4 cup of cooking oil to the pan. Vegetable oils are low in saturated fat. Allow the oil to heat. The best popping temperature is between 400-460 degrees. Test the heat of the oil by dropping in one or two kernels. When the kernel pops or spins in the oil, youre ready to add the remaining popcorn. Pour just enough kernels in to cover the bottom of the pan. Cover and shake the pan to be certain the oil coats each kernel. When you hear the popcorn popping, shake the pan back and forth until you hear the last few pops, remove the pan from the heat and empty the popped popcorn into a large bowl.
Kernels that do not pop are known as old maids. They do not have sufficient water contained within the starch to create the build up of pressure needed to pop the kernels.
