Second disclaimer: the unChef is not responsible if you turn your kitchen into a popcorn factory. I’ve seen it happen before…don’t underestimate the power of the popcorn.
Ingredients:
1. Oil (Coconut oil is magical)
2. GOOD QUALITY popcorn kernels (believe me…I’ve tried the store brand and they’re not nearly as fresh)
3. A pot with a lid
4. A hand towel
5. Seasonings (Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, etc.)
6. 1 tbls (or more!) of butter
Simple Directions:
-Heat your oil for about 30 seconds on 3/4 heat.
-Pour in kernels until they cover the bottom of the pot
-Cover the pot with the lid and towel
-As soon as you hear the popcorn begin to pop, shake the pot. This will help keep the unpopped kernels on the bottom and the popped ones from being burnt
-Once you hear the popcorn stop popping, remove it from the stove top at once! Pour it into a bowl
-Melt the butter in the pot and, using a spatula to scrape any leftover butter/oil off the sides and bottom. Pour this delicious flavor explosion over the popcorn
-Add seasonings and stir. The butter will help them stick to the popcorn, making for an even MORE delicious experience
-Enjoy your heart out
