Instructions
- Start by heating the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Give it about a minute to get nice and hot.
- Drop in just three kernels and pop the lid on. This is your heat test! When all three pop, you’ll know the oil is ready.
- Pour in the rest of your kernels and quickly cover the pot with a lid. Keep the lid slightly ajar to let some steam escape — this helps your popcorn stay extra crunchy!
- Once the popping begins to slow down, give the pot a gentle shake now and then to help the unpopped kernels hit the heat evenly.
- When the popping stops for a few seconds, turn off the heat and immediately transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
- Toss with a bit of salt (or any favorite seasoning) while it’s still warm and dig in!
Ubee's tips & notes
- Leave a slight gap when placing the lid to let some steam escape while popping. This prevents soggy popcorn.
