buy a popcorn maker! ! Supermarkets sell it in packs or "pick ya own" section. Or you can try bin inn.
Before I had a popcorn maker, I would add enough to cover the bottom of the pot with some butter and cook over a low to meduim heat without taking off the lid, wait till you hear no more popping. Careful as it can burn. Also use a HEAVY based pot! !

Hi. No... ... ... ... I didnt mean that. I meant can you make it like you buy it in its dried kernnel state, so that you can then put it in pot or popcorn maker.

you can grow your own corn suitable for popping. i think you just let it dry naturally on the cob. It is different than sweetcorn though so make sure you're growing the right stuff!

yup - apparently normal maize we eat off the cob doesn't have the air in it needed to make the kernel explode. Popcorn is easy - slosh of oil (like ricebran with high smoke point) corn and a pot with a lid. I toss through a blob of butter and salt while its still hot.

I do my popcorn in my wok. When you put the oil in add some sugar & it will dissolve, then when yourve finished popping the corn - add some salt. I know this sounds odd - but it gives the popcorn a kinda sweet/salty flavour. I have watched them make it at markets here in Aust & it turns out really yummo.

But did you know. . that the most DELICIOUS popcorn is the one that is tossed in melted butter and then liberally sprinkled with parmesan cheese [the powdery one]. . I tell ya, it is DIVINE! . . but oh so more-ish!

I usually put some butter in the pot with popcorn on the stove on medium heatit will start popping in few seconds.
