Directions

Step 1.
Heat the Oil: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot (such as a Dutch oven), heat the oil over medium heat. To test if it’s ready, add a few kernels. Once they pop, the oil is hot enough.
-
Step 2.
Add the Kernels: Add the rest of the popcorn kernels in an even layer, then cover the pot with a lid.
-
Step 3.
Pop the Kernels: As the kernels begin to pop, gently shake the pot back and forth over the burner. This helps keep the kernels moving, ensuring they don’t burn.
-
Step 4.
Listen for Popping to Slow Down: When the popping slows to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
-
Step 5.
Season: Immediately transfer the popcorn to a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt to taste, then add any extra toppings or seasonings. Toss to coat evenly.
-
Step 6.
Serve: Distribute your freshly popped popcorn into Whiskware Snack Containers and serve!
Recipe Note
For buttery popcorn: Drizzle melted butter over the popcorn before adding salt.
Sweet and salty: Sprinkle with a mix of sugar and salt.
Cheesy: Toss with grated Parmesan or a cheese powder.
Spicy: Try a dash of chili powder or smoked paprika.
