This is why popcorn jumps as it cooks. You are now leaving the popcorn. All About Popcorn. Our Story. Our Recipes. Make sure you never work on the stove without adult supervision. Put three of the extra popcorn kernels not from your three piles into the pot, close the lid and wait until they pop.
You can swirl the pot a little in between so the kernels don't get burned. Procedure Once the three kernels have popped, remove them with a spoon and turn the heat down to medium. Add the pile of 20 regular, untreated, popcorn kernels into the pot and swirl it slightly to cover all the kernels with oil. Tilt the lid on the pot so steam can escape but be careful not to let hot oil splash out of the pot.
Wait a maximum of two minutes until all the kernels have popped or the popping has stopped. After two minutes take the pot from the stove and remove all 20 kernels. Put them aside for now—don't eat them yet! Be careful—you might need to wait for them to cool before you can count them. How many of the kernels have popped? What size are the flakes? Are they big or small? What color are they? Are they dark, brown or yellow? Was the popping sound very loud?
Take the pot from the stove and replenish the vegetable oil if necessary. Again, add three regular popcorn kernels not from your pile and wait until they all pop. Remove them from the pot before you proceed.

Leave the pot on the stove for two minutes, swirling slightly in between, and observe what happens. Take the pot from the stove after two minutes and assess your popping results.
Did all the popcorn kernels pop? How does this popped popcorn look compared with the previous batch? Do you notice any differences? How big are the flakes this time?

Do you notice any size or color differences compared with the other popcorn?
If there are differences, why do you think this is the case? Take the three small cylindrical glasses and fill each one with a different batch of your 20 popped popcorn kernels regular, cracked and preheated.
