How can I pop Orville Redenbacher's kernels without a microwave?

Asked 2 months ago
Orville Redenbacher's popcorn kernels can be popped using several methods other than a microwave, allowing you to enjoy delicious, fluffy popcorn in the way that suits you best. One popular method is to use a stovetop technique. To do this, you will need a large, heavy-bottomed pot or pan with a fitted lid. Begin by adding a couple of tablespoons of cooking oil to the pot. Choose an oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil or canola oil. Heat the pot over medium heat until the oil shimmers. Next, add a few unpopped kernels to the pot and cover with the lid. Once the test kernels pop, you can add the rest of your Orville Redenbacher's kernels. Ensure they are spread evenly across the bottom. Cover the pot again and shake it gently to prevent burning. Listen for the popping sounds, which will subside when the popcorn is ready. Remove the pot from the heat once the popping slows down to about two seconds between pops. Allow the pot to sit for a moment before carefully removing the lid to avoid steam burns. For best results, season your popcorn to taste with salt or your favorite toppings. You can also pop Orville Redenbacher's kernels using an air popper, if you have one available. This alternative does require specific equipment but can yield light and fluffy popcorn while using no oil. Enjoy your freshly popped popcorn!
