How to Make Kettle Corn With Air Popper

by Hari Won

There are many ways to make kettle corn on a stovetop--as a matter of fact, it is one of my favorite treats during the summer.

But I love air popping popcorn for its convenience and simplicity. For those who have never tried it, all you need is an air popper with some oil and salt. In less than five minutes from start to finish, you can enjoy this delicious snack.

  1. Get an air popper and some popcorn kernels
  2. Put the desired amount of popcorn kernels in the popping chamber
  3. Turn on your air popper and wait for it to pop until you hear a "click" sound (this is when all the unpopped kernels will fall into the bottom)
  4. Pour popped corn into a large bowl or pot, then pour melted butter over it
  5. Add salt, sugar, and any other flavorings you want to add (e.g., cinnamon, vanilla extract)
  6. Use a spoon or spatula to mix ingredients together so they coat each kernel evenl.

The only thing that is required of you on this lazy day is to enjoy the time with your family and friends. One way to do just that is through entertainment!

The answer is "yes." But you should know that this will make the popcorn sweeter, which may not be desirable to some folks. My best advice is to experiment with different flavor combinations and see what tastes good to you! And if you don't like it, simply stop putting sugar in your air popcorn maker.

Some people like to make air popcorn with a sugar coating. While you can put sugar in an air popcorn maker, it is not recommended as the sugar will cause the oil to burn and splatter all over your kitchen and clothes. If you want a sweet taste, try dipping the popped corn in melted chocolate or marshmallow fluff instead of adding it before popping.
