Not All Popping Corn is the Same
Did you know there is more than one type of popping corn? If you didn’t, don’t feel bad most people have no idea either. Making popcorn from scratch lets you taste-test several different popping corns to find the one you most prefer.
Popping corn comes in two distinct shapes. One is the standard movie theater popcorn, the kind that looks like a comic book explosion. Popcorn professionals, and yes, such people do exist, call this popcorn butterfly or wings style. The other shape is much more rounded and resembles a brain. The official name for this shape is mushroom popcorn.
Besides just having a different shape when popped, popping corn kernels comes in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and flavors. Most popping corn kernels available in stores is yellow popcorn because it is inexpensive, and the popcorn pieces are large and airy. Yellow popcorn has a slightly yellow tint and is crunchy, and white popping corn is pure white and a little more tender. You can find white popping corn in brands touting ‘gourmet’ popcorn. Less common varieties that you will probably have to order online are Ladyfinger, which pops up as dainty butterflies and red, blue, purple that have few dots of color.
It Begins With the Perfectly Popped Corn
There are many ways to pop kernels, but one of the most fun methods is making popcorn on the stove. While you should let your little ones anywhere near the stove when you cook popcorn, they will love to watch from a safe distance.
- Heat a large heavy-bottom, deep skillet with a fitted lid over medium heat. If you can, choose a skillet with a glass lid to see what is going on inside.
- Add two tablespoons of oil with a high smoke point like coconut or canola oil.
- Throw in a few kernels of popping corn, and wait until they pop. Pick out the popped kernels.
- Off the heat, add a half-cup of your favorite popping corn to the skillet, and give them a shake to distribute them evenly.
- Cover and put back on the heat while slowly moving the pan back and forth.
- When the kernels start to pop, crack the lid to allow steam to escape, and continue moving the skillet until the pops occur only once every two to three seconds.
- Serve.
