Notes: Fresh popcorn kernels are required to achieve the best results! See the text of my blog post above for the explanation why. I do not recommend using kernels where at least a year has passed since they were opened.

These are the popcorn kernels that I used! Don’t use the ones inside of the microwaveable packages. I also used a nonstick pot like this.

It's okay if the kernels turn slightly brown after adding them to the pot and before they pop! That won't affect their flavor. (Just don't let them burn!)

You can easily make a smaller batch in a smaller pot! I haven’t tried making larger batches in larger pots, so I can’t personally vouch for how that will turn out. I also haven’t tried using pots that aren’t nonstick, so I don’t know how that will turn out either.

UPDATE: Many readers have tried making this in stainless steel (not nonstick!) pots, and they've reported great success! Just make sure you shake the pot almost constantly once the kernels have been added to help prevent the kernels and popped popcorn from sticking and burning.
