Popcorn Preparation

1. Measure out approximately 70-100 grams of corn kernels. 2. If using oil, heat a large pot with 10-15 grams of cooking oil over medium heat. If air-popping, skip to step 4. 3. Once the oil is hot, add the corn kernels and cover the pot with a lid. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent the kernels from burning. 4. If air-popping, place the kernels in your air-popper according to the manufacturer's instructions. 5. Wait until the popping slows down, indicating most of the kernels have popped. 6. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. 7. If desired, melt 0-30 grams of butter and drizzle over the popped corn. Mix well to evenly coat. 8. Season with salt to taste. 9. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
