How to Make Popcorn on the Stove (without burning it)

My pot is the Cuisinart 733-24HNS 3.5 Qt. sauté pan with helper handle and cover. It is now discontinued by Cuisinart, but you can still purchase it in a set called the Chef's Classic Stainless 10 Piece Set (77-10NS)

I have been making popcorn my whole life, I primarily used an air popped machine, but after 20+ years my machine died, and I have not found its equal on the market. This tutorial gave me the most tender, fluffy and wonderful flavor of popcorn from my childhood! Thank you for sharing these tips

Love how direct, concise and to-the-point this video was!!!! Too often, recipe sites and videos spend forever on their pre-rambling. You give us what we're looking to find and I appreciate that lol

Worked perfectly as described. Would you believe it? At 68, making my FIRST batch of popcorn the old fashioned way, using oil instead of hot air. Excellent.

Never in my life, I had all my popcorn popping without failure this well!!!! Resting the popcorns in the pan for a minute really worked. Thanks!

Your butter passion tells me I can trust you

I've always hated stove popcorn as I always burn it. And today i managed to pop every single kernel without burning. Thank you so much for those great tips

Seriously, thank you so much. I tried to make some old-school popcorn a few months back and I burnt the heck out of it and my house smelled for days. I followed your guidance, and now I'm eating a delicious big freaking bowl of popcorn. Thank you! No more microwaved bags of corn for me.

By the way, I highly approve of your cultured vocabulary. It adds flavor to the video like cultured butter to popcorn!

Love the detail you put into this. Down to knowing the smoke points of certain oils. Well done 😊

This is THE best way to make stove top popcorn. I’ve tried 3 times so far and have had 99% popped corn! You must take the pan off the stove for the break especially if you have an electric stove (residual heat). Tip for nonstick: - add oil to nonstick and heat with the tester kernels For stainless: Heat pan first EMPTY for at least a minute. Splash a few drops of water. It should bead off. It it takes more than a second to sizzle, it’s not hot enough yet. When splash test shows the pan is ready, drop the oil to coat the pan. Add tester kernels and shake. And follow steps in video. Hope this helps!

Wow! That actually worked. No scorching or burnt popcorn! Thank you very much!

Thank you, I made popcorn from the scratch just watching you for the first time and it came out very good and fluffy. No burns noted.😊

My husband and I tried making stovetop popcorn without a tutorial yesterday and they just weren’t as crunchy and the kernels left a weird residual texture in the mouth after eating. This tutorial is so easy to follow and the popcorn turned out perfect!! Thank you so much!!

Perfect! Thank you! You’re amazing! Your instructions were clear and to the point. Our popcorn maker just broke, and your instructions were perfect! ☀️🙌🏽☀️🙌🏽

Literally perfect popcorn thank you so much for this video

This is the kind of detail I was looking for. Thanks for the excellent video!

I had to use my cast iron pan but I followed your directions and it worked so well! Perfect popcorn - thank you!

These instructions were precise AND accurate! First time making it on my stove and didn't burn it. I will forever use this method!

You changed my life with this video ❤
