The pan popcorn method is one of the most popular techniques for making popcorn. Simply heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add the popcorn kernels and stir regularly until they pop.
This method of cooking popcorn makes it easier to keep an eye on the kernels and remove them from the pan as soon as they have finished popping to prevent them from burning. You can also add ingredients such as oil or butter to add more gourmet flavor to your recipe.
Popcorn casserole recipe: an easy alternative
Making popcorn in a saucepan involves heating a saucepan over medium-high heat, adding the popcorn kernels and a little oil or butter to prevent the kernels from sticking, and stirring continuously until they pop.
This recipe is similar to the one made in a skillet, but it requires a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent the corn kernels from sticking to the bottom and burning: watch the corn kernels carefully and remove them from the pan as soon as they have finished popping.
As with the pan-frying method, this recipe can be a bit more challenging than the other methods, as the corn kernels require extra monitoring.
Baked popcorn recipe: an economical option

Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 5 to 7 minutes , until most of the seeds have popped. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. To ensure that the kernels pop evenly, keep an eye on the popcorn while it is cooking and feel free to stir it from time to time.
