How do you air pop popcorn?

Air popping popcorn is a simple and healthy way to enjoy this classic snack. To air pop popcorn, you'll need a dedicated air popper or a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid.

Here's how to air pop popcorn using an air popper:

1. Pour kernels into the popping chamber.
2. Position a bowl under the popping chute.
3. Plug the popper in and let it run until the popping slows down significantly.

Here's how to air pop popcorn using a pot:

1. Heat the kernels and oil over medium heat.
2. Once the kernels start popping, shake the pan to help the popcorn heat evenly for two to three minutes, until all the kernels have popped.

Here are some tips for making air-popped popcorn:

• Use a good quality air popper: A dedicated air popper will provide consistent results and ensure your popcorn is light and fluffy.
• Don't overcrowd the popper: Leave some space between the kernels for air to circulate.
• Shake the pot frequently: Shaking the pot helps to distribute the heat evenly and prevent burning.
• Don't overcook the popcorn: Once the popping slows down significantly, remove the popcorn from the heat to avoid burning.

After air popping, you can season your popcorn with your favorite toppings like salt, pepper, butter, or other spices.
