Can you think of anything better than that? Well, maybe switching the homemade popcorn to garlic parmesan popcorn or celery lemon popcorn is better, but we’ll get there.
How To Make Quick And Easy Popcorn On The Stove
If you’ve been around for a while, then you know I LOVE popcorn. I love popcorn at night, but that’s a story for another time because today I’m focused on one thing and one thing only: making perfect popcorn from scratch.
I’m sharing my abiding love (borderline obsession?) for popcorn with you because it’s the best place to start. I’ve been doing a quiet popcorn class every week – if not several times a week – for… well, honestly… years. I can’t even tell you how long it’s been since it’s just been a part of my life.
With all that said, I have a tight schedule and I can’t wait to share it with you. Your movie night will be next level. Your after-dinner snack has just risen. And the children? Yes, your children will love to see how the popcorn pops and enjoy this salty salty taste in less than 5 minutes – very fast!

We Tried 8 Methods For Popping Popcorn At Home And Found The Very Best
Popping your own stovetop popcorn gives you control over every aspect of the process and ingredients. Not to mention the unknown ingredients (chemicals?) on the plane, packed in a bag of popcorn. There’s no shame in everyone’s time and place, but if you’re in need of a healthy snack and can choose to make it at home, it’s definitely the way to go.
Popcorn is technically a whole grain, which means there are very few nutrients in there. It’s a healthy snack that the whole family will love.
For these reasons and the fact that it’s a simple and easy way to treat yourself whenever you’re craving popcorn (which if you’re like me, it’s often), there’s no reason not to make it at home this season!
How To Make Popcorn On The Stove: A Healthier Popcorn Recipe
Two simple ingredients will give you crispy, crunchy, hot popcorn right out of the oven. Of course, if you want to add butter, salt, or other toppings, that’s more.
These are a few things to note about a few simple things…but when it comes down to it, what you already have is the best way to go!
The most important thing to note is that you choose an oil for your popcorn that can withstand high temperatures. I’ve tried all of these, and while they’ll do for most any type of recipe, there’s one that stands out above all: coconut oil.

I was also surprised. I popped a bunch of popcorn the other night using coconut oil and literally, the first words out of my mouth were “this is like movie theater popcorn!”.
Choosing coconut oil, you will see that it is refined and barbaric. Coconut oil should be highly processed, and will not have a coconut smell. Barbaric coconut oil is lightly processed and will have a hot coconut flavor. I personally don’t like coconut oil and I can’t even say the least deliciousness of a popcorn popper.

I find coconut oil to be the best movie theater product like the best popcorn crop. If you don’t like coconut, you can try green or other oil options.
Common Mistakes To Avoid While Making Popcorn
So you’re searching for popcorn when you suddenly see more options than you ever thought possible. In particular, there are different types of white and yellow popcorn kernels. Maybe organic, some not. You can also see heirlooms or blue cores.
White and yellow kernels are the two most common types of popcorn kernels, so let’s dive deeper into the two differences.
I always thought that white popcorn kernels were the result of a small, stunted popcorn plant, and when I did more research, I found that to be true. According to Peggy Woodward in Taste of Home:
Why You Shouldn’t Use The Water Only Method When Making Popcorn
White popcorn kernels are smaller, smaller kernels than their yellow counterparts. the yellow cores tend to stand out more, and are more intense. As their name implies, the yellow letters are also slightly yellow, giving them the name ‘butter’.
If it’s the movie theater type of popcorn you’re after, I recommend using a yellow popcorn kernel because of its strength. They will hold your toppings better, too, in a big, soft shape.
At the end of the day, if you’re a popcorn enthusiast, you can choose any kind of kernel and have a bowl of popcorn that pops beautifully. Sometimes I even mix the two for variety.

Be prepared for how easy it is to display a bunch of simple, easy popcorn in your own space. With just a few simple steps, you’ll be up and running in no time.
You want a pot that will withstand heat and oil and provide enough room for the seeds to emerge.
Can you use a smaller pan? So I’m in trouble (since I’m half done and in NEED POPCORN NOW mode). That being said, sticking to a larger pan gets the best results whenever possible. Use a portable oven as opposed to a cast-iron oven if it’s easy for you to move around.
Easy Stove Top Popcorn
Why did you start with only two popcorn kernels? Our cores testify and will tell us that the oil has been burned enough to add more.
When the kernels of the tester pop, it means that the oil is hot enough, so that when the other jars are added, all the pop-lites are immediately placed in the hot oil.
Since we don’t know if the oil is hot enough, our kernels keep coming out, and this results in grains, which is not helpful.

When the cores of the tester have come out, quickly add the remaining cores, cover, and remove the pan from the heat, shaking it slightly from the other side for a second. When the 20 seconds are up, quickly return the covered pan to the heat, and the grains will be poppin’ in no time!
Pro tip: pre-measure the popcorn kernels before adding the kernels to the tester. You don’t want to waste time burning oil and you are ready!
Nuclear explosions are flying around. Let them rest for at least the first 30 seconds to one minute.
How To Make Popcorn For Kids
When the pan is about half to three-quarters full of popped kernels, tilt the lid to turn on the steam. Allowing the steam to escape will prevent the grains from becoming mushy, and keep them nice and crisp.
When the spawn is low, you can move the pan from side to side so that any letters that don’t pop continue down (don’t move up; just side to side!). After the popper slows down and/or stops, immediately transfer the popper pellets to the glass bowl.
If you want to be really picky about adding butter and/or toppings, you can easily make layers like popcorn strips.

Naturally, the most classic popcorn topping is butter and salt. Of course, I have a few tips for you on this one, even before we explore how to expand your homemade popcorn script.
I recommend using a high quality butter to get the most flavor. Irish Butter or European Style Butter are my favorites. They are rich in flavor, giving the popcorn a particularly buttery taste.
Butter is made from milk fat and water, and some people argue that soaking water in butter will make your popcorn kernels gooey (proh no!!). I personally don’t like using pure butter on popcorn and I “didn’t have any grains”. But if you are worried, there is another option…
Why You Should Be Making Popcorn With Coconut Oil
Ghee, or clarified butter. To make ghee, butter is soaked in water to remove all the water. It is separated into liquid fat and milk solids, which are then extracted from the milk solids.
Ghee adds a rich, buttery, slightly nutty flavor to your popcorn. With a high smoke point, you can use it to extract bullets.
Because the milk solids are removed, ghee has less lactose than regular butter and is more suitable for sensitive breastfeeding. And the water has been removed from the ghee, so you can infuse your popcorn with a rich and free buttery flavor without the risk of rancidity.
