How to Make Perfect Popcorn

🌽 On the Stovetop

🛢️Use a heavy-bottomed pot with a loose-fitting lid - you want steam to escape.

🔥Heat oil on medium-high until the oil shimmers. Add 2–3 test kernels; when they pop, it's time.

🌽Add kernels in a single layer, the oil should cover a little over half of the kernel. Don't overcrowd the pot. Swirl the pot every 20 seconds to prevent scorching.

⏱️Total time: 3–5 minutes. When pops slow to 1–2 per second, remove from heat.

🧈 Tips for Best Results

💧Fresh kernels pop better - store them sealed at room temperature, not in the fridge. Humidity KILLS kernels.

🫙Use coconut oil or clarified butter for a richer flavour with a higher smoke point.

🧂Season immediately after popping while kernels are hot and the salt sticks better. Add salt to the oil if you want that movie style taste.

🍿Mushroom kernels puff large and round - ideal for coatings. Butterfly kernels are crunchier and more classic look and taste.

STEPS TO SUCCESS

Select kernels you're using. Tell us what you’re popping - we’ll tune the tech.

Set The Stage - Place your device 6 inches from the pot (mic facing the heat). Add kernels once the oil is shimmering.

Start The Show - Tap Start once a few start popping.

Exit On Cue - Watch the countdown and pull from heat at the alarm. No burns, just snacks.

🔥 Pro Tip

Swirl the pot smoothly every 30 seconds. Let the pan do the work.

💡 These settings adjust the timing algorithm in real time. Cast iron and induction hold heat more evenly - thresholds widen accordingly. Higher altitude reduces atmospheric pressure, so kernels need slightly more time before their steam builds up enough to pop.
