How do you keep air popped popcorn from going everywhere?
The best method we’ve learned is using an oven mitt to cover the popping chamber. Once the kernels start to pop, there will be enough popped kernels to hold down the other unpopped kernels in the chamber so they don’t fly out.
Is an air popper worth it?
In testing, we found air poppers to be more effective in popping the most kernels and just as easy to set up and use as microwave poppers.
Can you put butter in a hot air popcorn maker?
Add butter to butter melter, if desired. Position a 4-quart heatproof bowl under the popping chute. Plug the popper into a 120V AC electrical outlet; popping will be complete within 2 to 3 minutes after popping begins. Drizzle melted butter onto popcorn and toss gently.
How many kernels do you put in an air popper?
Most bowls are large enough to make only about 9 cups of popped popcorn at a time (using about ⅓ cup of kernels), in contrast to the roughly 18 cups that an air popper can produce (using about a ½ cup of kernels).
Should I buy popcorn maker?
Yes. If you’ve ever been to a movie theater or baseball game, you know that freshly popped popcorn tastes better than microwave popcorn hands down. If you don’t want to purchase a popcorn machine, making it on the stovetop is super easy and just as good. It’s also infinitely better than microwave popcorn.
How do you make butter flavor on air-popped popcorn?
Drizzle that clarified butter into a large pot then add a half-cup of unpopped popcorn. Put a lid on it, and heat over medium-high heat until your popcorn begins to pop. In less than five minutes, you’ll have a batch of buttery butter-popped butteriness without a single bit of soggy.
Do you need oil for a hot air popcorn popper?
An air popper doesn’t require any added oil or flavorings, but store-bought microwave popcorn has additional ingredients, like salt, oil and chemical flavorings that taste like butter.
