How do they make kettle corn?
Yum Yum i love kettle corn- what do they put in it that makes it sweet? and don't even say that they put in salt and popcorn--that's a no brainer
Answers:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup popcorn kernels
2 tablespoons white sugar
kosher salt to taste
melted butter (optional)
In your saucepan, heat the oil and popcorn kernels over medium-high heat, shaking the pan to keep the kernels from burning. When the kernels are about to start popping, they will become slightly lighter in color, and most importantly, they will start to smell like popcorn. At this point, sprinkle the sugar over the kernels and cover. With the lid on, continue to cook the popcorn by gently shaking the pan over the heat. When the popping has slowed (don’t keep cooking until the very last kernel has popped, you will end up burning the sugar), remove the pan from heat and empty the popcorn into a large bowl. Toss with salt immediately (when the sugar on the popcorn is still hot and sticky, the salt will adhere to the kernels better) and sprinkle with melted butter if you like. Enjoy while still warm.
kettle corn is not as sweet as carmel corn....it is cooked in oil or butter (usually oil) then they add granulated sugar to sweeten it before they add the salt......
KETTLE COOKED CORN
Cook, covered, in small amount of boiling, salted water (or cook in enough boiling, salted water to cover), about 6 to 8 minutes.
