Pop on over!

I made a couple different kinds of popcorn in different ways…

I tried different varieties of popcorn as well as different methods of cooking the popcorn in the electric skillet. I used coconut oil, butter, vegetable oil, and nothing (just a dry pan).

I heated the skillet to 400 and then added the oil (or whatever one I used) and then the popcorn.

I then put the lid on and left it a little bit ajar. And then let it pop for a few minutes until most of the kernels are popped.

Turn off the skillet and take of the lid carefully…you still may get some stray popcorn flying so take it off at your own risk 🙂

I like a little butter and salt on my popcorn and so now it a great time to make a pond in the middle of your popcorn mountain and melt the butter.

Stir well and sprinkle with a little salt if desired.

In my experiment, I found that the vegetable oil or coconut oil works best for popping popcorn. The dry pan takes quite a bit longer to pop and didn’t seem quite as fluffy but it still works. And the butter burned so don’t do that one. The yellow popcorn was the fluffiest but that might be because it was probably the freshest…
