Basic Popcorn Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a deep cooking pot, melt butter over low fire.
  • After the butter has melted, stir in the popcorn quickly and make them evenly soaked in the melted butter (you have like 20 seconds to do that, you don’t want the corn to pop with the lid off).
  • Cover the lid and increase fire slightly.
  • Wait for the delightful popping sounds, off fire when the popping has stopped.
  • Season with salt before serving.
  • Tip: Do not use too much raw popcorn because they really expand and fill up the entire pot =P

    I seriously doubt that you have followed the recipe "to the letter" since you mentioned that you "had to increase heat to medium for something to happen" which was what I already stated in step 3. Even if my steps were really wrong, you don't have to sound so harsh. You could have pointed in out nicely so that I can learn from you and improve on this recipe. Isn't this what this site is about?

    Don't bother trying this recipe (or any of my recipes) again since you dislike it so much.

    I am rarely ever this harsh. And always try to follow the recipe to the letter. If I try this recipe again I will have to expand on the instructions a little to try to make the recipe come out better.

    I welcome all constructive feedback but you don't have to sound so harsh and stern. gosh. This is a site where we share and learn from one another.

    I did mention low fire to melt butter (step 1), but once the popcorns are in, to increase the fire (step 3). Reason for low fire in the beginning is to prevent the butter from burning, but once the popcorn are in, you do need to increase the heat. You need to stir the popcorn quickly to make them evenly soaked in the melted butter before they start popping (step 2). Did you even read?

    Too much butter or too little popcorn. Heat is too low. Butter browns up and corn never pops. Had to increase heat to medium for something to happen. Lots of extra butter on bottom of pan that was not adsorbed by the corn. Corn only barely covered the bottom of the pan.

    Recipe needs some serious work.
