Tips:

  • Choose the right corn kernels. Not all corn kernels are created equal. For kettle corn, you'll want to use a variety that is high in starch and low in moisture. This will help the kernels to pop evenly and give you a light and fluffy snack.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven. You'll need a large pot or Dutch oven to make kettle corn. This will give the kernels plenty of room to pop and prevent them from overcrowding.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat. Don't heat the oil over high heat, or the kernels will burn. Medium heat is ideal for popping corn.
  • Add the corn kernels and sugar. Once the oil is hot, add the corn kernels and sugar. Stir the kernels to coat them in the oil and sugar.
  • Cover the pot and shake it frequently. Cover the pot and shake it frequently to help the kernels pop evenly. Be careful not to shake the pot too vigorously, or the kernels will fly out.
  • Listen for the popping sounds to stop. Once the popping sounds have stopped, remove the pot from the heat. This means that all of the kernels have popped.
  • Pour the kettle corn onto a baking sheet to cool. Spread the kettle corn out on a baking sheet to cool. This will help to prevent the kettle corn from sticking together.
  • Season the kettle corn to taste. Once the kettle corn has cooled, you can season it to taste. Some popular seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
