how do you get popcorn ready to pop?

Question

do they sun dry it or bake the kernels?

Answer 1

The above answer the second question. I will answer the first. How I get it ready. I use peanut oil and add enough to the pan to cover the bottom and turn heat on high. When the oil begin to smoke I add one kernel until it pop and then add enough to cover the bottom without overcrowding and put on the lid/cover. When it start to pop I keep shaking until the popping slow down and pour into a bowl. Most kernels pop and add a little salt. The peanut oil make it taste good. OR, melt some real butter to pour over it, mixing well and add a little salt. If, you can get coconut oil it even better. Coconut oil has the highest fat content of any oil, including Butter. Fat what make things taste excellent.

Answer 2

It is ready to pop when it is sold. The air from the heat hits the moisture inside the kernel and makes it expand.

Answer 3

The kernels are dried every so slighly in the sun or under a heat lamp.
