Kettle Corn Ingredients: 1/4 cup corn oil 1/4 cup popcorn 1/4 cup sugar salt Directions: Use a decent size pot (with a lid) and pour in enough oil to have about an 1/8" covering the bottom. Don't use too much oil. Too much oil will sog the popped popcorn and you'll probably get sick to your stomach when you eat it. Dump in enough popcorn to make a single layer in the pot. Put the pot on medium high heat. When you see the corn start to get excited but before it starts to pop, quickly pour in the sugar as evenly as you can across the top. Cover and shake back and forth to pop (like Jiffy Pop). When you pull it off you need to slightly salt it. You can't pop every single kernel because you would scorch the popcorn. Also pouring in the sugar too soon tends to make the popcorn scorch more easily. If you pour it in too late, the sugar stays granular and grainy. Also get the popped popcorn out of the pot as quickly as possible to prevent scorching. Also you can go to http://www.kettlecornfactory.com/recipes.html For amazing recipes for great pop corn!!!

Crefullt remove the lid and add a few heaping Tb of sugar, stir, and cover as before. Put on some oven mitts and shake the pan off the heat every 10 seconds or so until all the corn is popped. That's how I always make it, and I've never had the sugar burn. hmm… use the heaviest pan you have (with a lid), and heat the oil and the popcorn (3 Tb oil to 1/2 cup popcorn makes about 10 cups popped or so) over medium high heat, covered, but vented slightly, until the popcorn starts popping.

I am cooking it on medium heat not high...i dunno what the deal is. Look forward with you helping me conquer kettle corn.

I’ll post a recipe the next time I make some. All you need is uncooked popcorn, oil, and sugar (and a big, heavy saucepan or dutch oven). The secret is adding the sugar to the oil and popcorn before you cook it. Kettle corn is reallly easy to make from scratch. I’ll post a recipe the next time I make some.
