TIPS AND HINTS
POPCORN AMOUNTS
Kernels
Vegetable
Oil
¼ cup 1½ teaspoons
1
⁄3 cup 2 teaspoons
½ cup 1 tablespoon
Note: Premium popcorns yield less, by about 2
cups.
The seasoning possibilities for popcorn are endless. Just add melted butter and your favorite
seasonings to a bowl of popcorn.
With toppings added, popped popcorn will
become much crisper and the avors become
more intense if it is heated with desired toppings
in a 300°F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes before
serving. For best results, heat it on a baking
sheet that you have lined with foil and sprayed
with cooking oil.
Note: Serving bowl should not be put
into oven.
It is very important to use fresh popcorn. If
your popcorn is old, the kernels will not fully
pop and/or it may take a long time for them to
pop.
