- A salty and sweet snack. A simple recipe to make stove top Kettle Corn at home.
1/2 C Popcorn Kernels (100 g)
3T Granulated Sugar (35g)
3T Oil (30 g) - use a neutral oil, such as, canola, vegetable (soybean), corn. Peanut or coconut oil should also work.
Salt to taste - Навчання та стиль
I'll have to try it. when i pop on the stove i like to start the oil and put just 2 or 3 kernels in the oil and let it heat until they pop and then at that point i dump the rest of my kernels in, i also only use medium heat i have found the hotter popping temperatures gives tougher texture when it's done, that and trapped steam, always let the steam vent otherwise it steams the already popped corn and makes it rubbery like a bagel. as always have your bowl ready to dump it out right away as soon as it stops popping.
Thanks for sharing your experience and your tips. It's good for everyone to hear about one's experience since everyone does things a little differently.
I used coconut oil, think I should of used regular cause it doesn’t taste like the kind you get at the fair.
@@tinahuttner7280 For Kettle corn makers at the fair use regular oil. Coconut oil gives more of a movie theater taste to popcorn.
@@eat4f1 what’s regular oil ? Vegetable ?
@@melodypedals4827 I've added info to the video description. Basically you want to use a neutral oil - vegetable, canola or corn. Recently, I've been using coconut oil to get a movie theater taste to the kettle corn. Stronger flavored oils lik Olive oil might be too strong for kettle corn. I hope that helps.
I like seeing this at someone's home that doesn't have a fancy gas stove cook top. Nice and relatable.
Thank you. I definitely don’t have a fancy gas, induction or glass top stove top. Making due with what I have, cheers
Gas is fancy?
@@Astavyastataa lol yeah... I was just going with the flow and being funny. However, the more I think about it getting gas delivered or piped to the house is dependent upon your local utility. I personally prefer cooking with gas. Everything in my area is electric.
eat4f1 yeah fair enough xD. My house has gas but I’ve been studying abroad for the last couple years and everywhere I’ve lived here had had electric.
These are the ones I trust n know will taste ✨bomb✨
Went scrambling for the lid once it started popping.. let’s just say I had to clean my ENTIRE kitchen. 🤣
A little goes a long way. :-)
Hahaha
Yeah the lid was kind of important lmao
Lmao
LOL!! I'm just picturing that scenario!!!

Thanks for giving the measurements in both volume and weight, it's very helpful for a poor university student with out a scale.
OK I’ve tried making kettle-corn before and it seems like one of those things that’s really really easy to do, but it’s also really really easy to fuck up. This video is so straight to the point it’s literally full proof. Thank you for posting
Thank you for your kind comments. My goal when I cook is to try to make it simple.
This is the video that led me to your channel. I literally just made it and eating it now. It is becoming harder and harder for me to figure a reason to go to the fair. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! BTW: giving the measures was very appreciative.
I'm glad the recipe worked out for you and I can provide some useful content to someone. The fair is always fun, but making kettle corn at home you get the freshest batch all the time. Also, there's always the thrill of the questionable rides where your seat is being held by that one old (?) bolt and there's corn dogs. However, I am working on a corn dog recipe. Cheers!
Is it accurate? I’ve never had kettle corn (as I’m not in the US) but have always wanted to try it! It looks good
i was about to say the same thing and I totally agree
Back in the seventies my dad use to make this. Miss it so much.
Glad your video popped up 🙂👍
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Hehe, I see what you did there. "Popped" up
Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe and video. I just made it a few minutes ago and we absolutely adore it.
This turned out absolutely amazing! Tastes exactly like the kind you buy at festivals. Awesome video! This is life changing! :)
fym life changing??? its popcorn
Thank you for the recipe. My daughter and I just made this, our apartment smells amazing and the popcorn is so good :) I think I might have to make some of this for a birthday party coming up :)
I tried this recipe for the first time, it came out great I just made sure to lift the pot over the heat and shake it when it started popping, it didn't come out burnt it was perfect.👌 I used 3 table spoons of oil and 1/2 cup of kernel and 3 table spoons of sugar.
Terrific! Thanks for the comment and what you did. That should help other folks too. Cheers!
Who high AF and hungry for munchies, thanks for the recipe stranger
You're welcome. Just be careful cooking this when you have the munchies. Let it cool down before you chow. :-)
Littraly me rn dawg🤣🤣🤣
My wife and I just watched your video. When it was finished we tried your recipe. It was great first time. I have attempted this before with mixed failures using different recipes every time. But your tutorial was great thank you.
Thanks for the the kind comment. I'm glad the recipe worked out for you too.
I saw your video and ran to the grocery store to buy kernels. So inexpensive and so good. Thank you!!!
Thank you for the comment! I'm glad the kettle corn turned out for you. Yes, it is surprisingly simple and turns out good! Kudos to you!
Just made it! The sugar started to crystallize from too much stirring but when I left it alone for a sec it turned a bit yellow and I threw the kernels in and just shook it as it popped. Best fresh kettle corn I’ve had!! ❤
Yay! Good information about the sugar. Sometimes the sugar will need to start to melt a little before stirring. Glad you enjoyed the best homemade kettle corn!
thank you for this amazing simple recipe it worked like a charm
I literally found this video just so I could make Kettle corn for squirrels. I feed squirrels every day and a friend told me that they LOVE kettle corn.
Kettle corn for squirrels. Squirrels eat everything! Happy New Year!
@@eat4f1 Happy New Year!
BTW, my friend was wrong, lol! About these squirrels in particular anyway, they won't touch the kettle corn.
I've done step by step as he said... the best Kettle corn I've had for a time. Good and easy recipe!
Thank you! I'm glad the recipe worked out well for you.
This is the first batch I made that didn't burn. I decided however to try to keep it the same as what he was doing. I used a stainless steel pan this time instead of my ceramic non stick aluminum pans. I also used plain yellow popcorn instead of the multi colored kind. But I still used coconut oil. I also put three kernels in the pot while the oil was heating up and waited for them to pop before adding the sugar as he did. Everything else was the same. It worked great.
,
I just made it and it got perfect with coconut oil ^^ thanks for the recipe
Thank you! Easy to follow turned out great with no mess I was worried about using my popcorn machine and this was so easy!!
Used this recipe but made a smaller portion (1/3) and it came out delicious! Perfect combination of sweet and salty for me as I've been trying to reduce my sugar intake.
Don't be discouraged by the other comments, do try it!
Thank you for the kind comment. I'm glad the recipe worked out for you.
@@eat4f1 and thank you for sharing this recipe.
Found it! Big PP!
im so grateful to you. I keep coming back to this video to make it for my family. I have it down. The video is relaxing and reassuring.
Terrific! I'm glad you found the video helpful and you make it for your family.
Thanks you for coming back and thank you for the kind compliment.
i just tried to make this. Long story short, I had to run outside with a burning and smoking pan of popcorn.
Heat too high. I hope you're okay.
Oh noo!....😬😂😂
Try again I believe in you
You sir, are a genius! 🍿🍿🍿🍿 I just made it, and it's perfect! Not one burnt one, and zero unpopped kernels (loose in pan), ⚠️**but there are some unpopped kernels stuck ONTO some of the popped corn, so be careful you don't mess up a tooth crown!
Thank you, so much!
💜
Thanks for the tip about unpopped kernels sticking to the popped corn.
@@eat4f1 You're welcome. I found that putting the oil, a test kernel, then when that pops, add the rest of the kernels, close the lid, and move/shake the pan around, then add the sugar, then proceed with the shake process, and as soon as popping starts to slow, turn off the heat/remove from burner.
The popcorn you made looks perfect! Thanks for the tutorial
Thanks!
Thanks for the question - I keep the temperature constant. The burner was set at 6. 10 is high.
Just made this... I used more oil though and it turned out perfect!!.. thanks for the tips!
More Oil! Check! Glad the recipe turned out for you.
Great video, family loved this. Came out great.
I just made this popcorn for my wife and she loved it!!
Thanks for the comment! I'm happy to hear the recipe turned out well. Kudos to you for making kettle corn for your wife. Cheers!
Thank you. I'm going to try making some today as my studying snack
Yea I just tried this n dam it was pretty good it only takes 20 sec to cook as soon as it stop rapid popping dump that whole pan out into another pan literally within 2-5 sec of it stop rapid popping like I said as soon as the first 2 pops go off put the lid on and shake for 20 sec or less is all it takes soon as it stops popping fast dump or u will burn it u gotta get it out the pan instantly into a cool bowl or cool pan and shake as it dries so it doesn't stick. Was my first time trying this and I nailed it perfect so u can too plus I used quarter cup of kernels and ripped a bag of microwave popcorn open and washed those so it was half n half lol worked fine on the short supply. My 2nd advice is also make shur u disolve the sugar the best u can I woulda disloves mine a but longer just to see if it made a difference but its fine how it is. I use 80 heat out of 100% on large burner electric glass stove top started on 100 when I added kernels put it to 80 and it started popping in 2-3 min of stiring finished in less then 4min great recipe just gotta be fast on the hands. When its done its done so get that shit outa there
Herb lol thanks for the tips
Best corn I've ever had 👍🏻👌🏽
Looks great, I need to make this for my son. Thank you.
I use a thick bottom stainless steel pan and I don't even have to shake it but I haven't tried doing the kettle corn I'm excited to try it's my favorite
Can’t wait to try this!! Great tutorial!! Thanks for sharing it!😀
Thanks! One thing I should point out is don't cook as long as I did. I tried to get every kernel popped which led to some burned bits. Making kettle corn is pretty easy so go for it! Enjoy!
Popcorn: @ 01:43
Him: GET DOWN SHOTS FIRED XD
lol! Exactly. When that popcorn gets going, I have to have the lid ready. If not, kernels are going everywhere!
Turned out perfect. Thanks.
This works but I'll be adding more sugar next time since I like mine a lil sweeter
Thank you! It turned out great.
Thank you for the kind comment! Happy to hear that you got great results!
Helpful video. Mine came out great. Thanks.
Made this recipe and it was perfect. Don't have the heat too high though and you'll burn it easily. Compared to making buttered popcorn on the stove, the kettle we just made had a lower volume of popcorn than the buttered popcorn I make on the stove. So don't be fooled if the amount of popcorn doesn't fill up the pot as usual.
Thanks for providing your insight. Hopefully people see and learn from your comment.
This was so much fun to watch
Worked like a charm! Thanx a lot!!!!
over all good video cept for your demonstration. mine turned out great. i cook my corn at a lower heat and it never burns.
Thank you just made it and it came out excellent!!!!
Terrific! Thanks for the comment!
Wonderful recipe. My son loves the popcorn clustered by the sugar. Thank you!!
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad the recipe turned out for you.
I’m about to do this right now ! Thank you for giving me and my bf something festive to do!
Thanks for the comment. I hope the kettle corn turned out nicely and was a festive time!
i love this recipe!!!!
Thank you this tasted great!
9 years on and its still hella useful
Thanks! Surprisingly simple so the video stands up to time! Enjoy!
Thanks it taste very good I love it now I can have it anytime I want
Electric range heat about 7/10. Large pan with lid I cut open a microwave pop bag and added the oil and sugar like you said and dumped the rest in. Cook and shake with lid on until you dont hear a pop for 2-3 seconds. Lid off, serve. 👍🏼
Thank for the terrific synopsis of the video! Great job!
I just made this using swerve sugar and coconut oil. It was delicious 😋
Thanks for reporting on your results on using a sugar alternative.
nice n burnt
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤦🏿♀️
😁💀
Lmfao that was the best part
yeah he didnt shake it enough
do you keep the temp. on med-med-high heat the whole time?
So simple and helpful!
Thanks! I hope you give it a shot!
Turned out amazing and yummy!
Thanks for the feedback! Happy to hear the recipe turned out!
Thank you !
Used avocado oil. Came out superb! Everyone loved em
I'm starting to use avocado oil more too. I'm glad people enjoyed it!
That sounds great, Ill have to give that a try, I just recently done a video of Popping popcorn for a Beer Snack, I enjoyed your video Sir, Have a great Weekend
great recipe!
Simply and tasty 😋
Made it and loved it!!
Thanks! I'm glad the recipe worked!
Very helpful, thank you.
I just made some but I used avocado oil, some bacon greese, and some beef tallow I just guessed at the measurements think I used a little too much sugar but it turned out good 👍 thanks for doing the video, Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya
Thanks. I like the idea of getting away from highly processed seed oils like canola or soybean oils. Your avocado, bacon and beef tallow mixture adds more flavor to the popcorn too.
This was a great video thank you , now I can enjoy kettle corn
You're very welcome! I hope you give it a try. Just don't cook as long as I did. :-)
Great thanks for sharing your recipe 😀
Thanks! I hoped the recipe helped!
Thanks i cut it in half and it tastes great. I didnt burn it though like the video suggests.
🤣
Thank you for the recipe
You're welcome! I hope it turned out great for you!
Lmaoo I Thought I Did My Phone Was Tweaking I’m High And I Have 1 Bag Left And It’s Some More I That Didn’t Get To Pop 😩Thank You Soo Much ♥️
Awesome now I know how to make and can stretch my dollars more buying the kernels😋
Great to hear! Some markets sell popcorn kernels by weight, which is can be less expensive than buying packaged kernels - saving a little more. :-) Have a happy holiday and new year!
Tried this recipe and it’s a hit... thanks for posting this video.
Thanks! I'm glad it was a hit!
This was so delicious! And super easy to make. The taste reminds me of the county fair ㅠㅠ
I'm glad the recipe turned out for you. I watched what was being done at the fairs and based my recipe and method on what I saw. :-)
Thank you so much for this recipe and video .
Rahma Izzati
Thanks for not editing the burnt corn out lol 👍🏾
You’re welcome lol
Came out great!!! Why I spend 10$ a bag.....I will be making this at home for now on !!!
Great! Home made is fresh and the best, but sometimes I do admit I will buy a bag at a fair out of convenience. lol
great recipe. thanks!
Happy to hear the recipe worked out for you too!
Thanks made it for husband and I obsessed!
Thanks for the comment! I was surprised for myself that this turned out. Although, I did burn it a little trying to pop all the kernels. I hope you didn't do that too. lol
@eat4f1 yes they burn a little if you try to pop them all so I have burned a couple batches lol...regardless I'm glad I learned how to make it!!!
Just did this and it was perfect !!!
Congrats! I'm glad the kettle corn worked out nicely!
Thank you so much! Best popcorn I ever made 😁
You're welcome! I'm glad it worked out!
Really good thank you
I'm happy you enjoyed
what kind of oil do you use?
Thanks for the question. I generally use a neutral oil like vegetable oil or canola. Some theaters use coconut oil for their popcorn too.
Look who I found lol
Tried it and it came out great thank you👍
Yay! I'm glad the kettle corn turned out! 🍿
Thanks for this 😂 I genuinely like kettle corn
You're welcome! I hope you've had a chance to make your own without my mistake. lol
Tested with a few kernels first then when i poured in the half cup of kernels, not even half would pop burning the sugar and it wasnt near being too high
Sorry you it didn't work for you. I suggest heat on medium or a notch above medium. What you can try is to add the popcorn first and stir (I would suggest using a wooden spoon), then add the sugar and stir, stir, stir... When the popcorn starts popping, cover loosely so you can stir to prevent popcorn flying everywhere. I hope that helps.
Retried, same exact thing even after waiting a good while for the kernels to puff up that initial bit before adding sugar, three whole kernels popped this time
thank you, It worked, amazing popcorn!
Terrific! I'm glad the popcorn turned out amazingly. :-)
i just tried this . so good !!!
I'm glad you liked the results! Surprisingly quite simple too. Cheers
perfect method
Thank you for the kind comment! I'm happy the kettle corn turned out for you. :-)
I think i'd use coconut oil which has a higher burn rate than any other cooking oil. In this way the sugar would have time to completely melt without burning the corn. Thanks for sharing.
I've started using coconut oil too. Coconut oil also gives the "movie popcorn" flavor.
Instructions not clear!!! Followed instructions step by step and ended up at the store and bought some.
i guess its not his fault if u r dumb ass
510suckerfree i
😂
Clearly you can’t cook
I really want to try it this way, but I'm afraid that it may get burnt
Thank you. I also enjoyed the fact that you made blacked popcorn and still posted the video. You didn't make it perfect. Love it
Thanks! That's the idea - show real videos without editing to make it look perfect. We know at times life is not perfect. :-)
I used a little more oil and brown sugar. it worked well. thanks
Nice improvisation! Sounds good!
thanks for the recipe:) I just made the best kettle corn!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad the kettle corn turned out!
I tried making this today but I messed up the order because I was doing it from memory from a recipe I read a while back. After they started popping, I poured in the sugar & tried mixing. I burned my arms a little & had clumps of sugar on some kernels and other kernels were plain. Lol oops!!
Thanks for the video though!
lol its all about the effort
Let your steam vent out while popping. It keeps the condensation from falling back down on the popped corn which can make it soggy.
Thanks for the tip! I'm sure it will help everyone.
nice and easy, i'm off to make my own!
Enjoy! It's fairly easy. I hope it turns out nicely.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
I'm glad the video helped and gave you ideas. The bacon and beef adds that extra layer of flavor.
Just a suggestion and i tried this way but add the oil and kernals at the same time then turn the stove on high. Wait till u see your first kernal pop then add the sugar and cover. Make sure u slide back and forth and shake up and fown as well while holding the lid. The sugar will melt and form the popcorn kernals into a ball but it will work. Eventually the kernals will pop and the sugar wont burn
Thanks for the suggestion.
I like your video :) thanks!
