NOTE: Premium popcorn has larger
kernels, resulting in a higher yield of popped
corn. If using premium popcorn, the yield may
sometimes be greater than stated above.
The flavor possibilities for popcorn are end-
less. Just add melted butter and your favorite
seasonings to a bowl of popcorn.
With toppings added, popped popcorn will
become much crisper and the flavors become
more intense if it is heated with toppings in a
300°F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes before
serving. For best results, heat it on a baking
sheet lined with foil and coated with nonstick
cooking spray.
NOTE: It is very important to use fresh
popcorn. If your popcorn is old, the kernels
will not fully pop and/or it may take longer
for them to pop.
