¼ cup 1½ teaspoons
Approximately
6 cups popped
popcorn
1
⁄3 cup 2 teaspoons
Approximately
8 cups popped
popcorn
½ cup 1 tablespoon
Approximately
10 cups popped
popcorn
Note: Premium popcorns have larger
kernels, resulting in a higher yield of popcorn.
If using premium popcorn, the yield of popped
popcorn will be about 1 cup greater than
stated above.
Note: DO NOT use more than
1
⁄3 cup of
unpopped kernels when using premium
popcorn.
The seasoning possibilities for popcorn are
endless. Just add melted butter and your
favorite seasonings to a bowl of popcorn.
With toppings added, popped popcorn
will become much crisper and the avors
become more intense if it is heated with
desired toppings in a 300°F oven for about 15
to 20 minutes before serving. For best results,
heat it on a baking sheet that you have lined
with foil and sprayed with cooking oil.
Note: Serving bowl should not be put
into oven.
It is very important to use fresh popcorn.
If your popcorn is old, the kernels will not
fully pop and/or it may take a long time for
them to pop.
SEASONING SUGGESTIONS
