TIPS AND HINTS
POPCORN AMOUNTS
NOTE: Premium popcorn has larger kernels, resulting in a higher yield of popped corn. If using premium popcorn, the yield may sometimes be greater than stated above. The flavor 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 flavors become more intense if it is heated with toppings in a 300°F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes before serving. For best results, heat it on a baking sheet lined with foil and coated with nonstick cooking spray. NOTE: It is very important to use fresh popcorn. If your popcorn is old, the kernels will not fully pop, and/or it may take longer for them to pop.
