Hi guys, it's Lisa from Salty Lashes. I'm here today to show you how to make my famous, or at least in my family, that's what we think it's famous, Air Popped popcorn. So to start, you need an Air Popper. This is my personal favorite. I've tried a few and this cuisiner is my all-time favorite and you can find the link for that below the post. And let me give you a little backstory. My mom, I think, is the queen of Air Popped popcorn. We used to have it every Sunday night. We'd go to church and then my mom would make dinner and then around six or seven, my mom would always pop popcorn. And this is where I learned a few of the tips and the tricks to making the perfect Air Popped popcorn. So your other popper. My favorite are the Trader Joe's Organic Popping Corn. I have read that organic kernels can actually be digested through your system much more efficiently than a traditional kernel. So make sure you're buying organic corn. Second, I buy the organic salted, unsalted butter. You don't need the salted because you're going to add salt to it anyway. Okay, so turn, I'm going to turn it on. I typically turn it on and let it sit on for like 15, 20 seconds just for the popper to warm up. And then I will add my kernels. I don't measure, I eyeball it, read the directions on the package. If you do not want to eyeball it and it'll tell you exactly how much to do. Typically, I do not turn my popper off. I let it just keep warming up and then I add more kernels to it because I like to get it done a little bit faster. But for the sake of being able to hear me, I can turn it off in between. So this is how much that made. I'm going to add more kernels because I like mine completely full. And what I did, I melted one whole stick of butter. You heard me correctly, a whole stick of butter. You do not have to use this much butter. I'm not going to judge you if you do because that's what we do. And that's funny because Ariel's right right here behind the camera. And I just said, oh, doesn't it smell so good? She can't smell it. How can you not smell popcorn for her? She smells like the fajitas. Well, I guess we have been cooking a lot in the kitchen today. So probably there's be heat ascent, salmon scent, salad, and lots going on. So here is the trick. Okay, I melt a one stick of butter in my measuring cup. My microwave melts it perfectly at a minute, 10 seconds. So you're going to start and slowly I go counterclockwise and work my way in and then starting on the outside. Okay. You can smell it now. You can smell it? Good. And then I salt. Okay, besides the butter, drizzle counterclockwise. The next, hold your hands, the bolt, the sides of the bolt, and shake. Okay. And then I'll do another drizzle. Sometimes it goes zig-zag. Two. Okay, repeat. And I'll usually just repeat it. Two more three times. I think that's good though. And then I'm going to add more kernels. I'm going to fill it up and then I'll show you when it's done. So make sure you're turning your bolt. That just comes out because it's already pretty cool. This is a solid chance. I feel like we're going to fill it. This is like when it's really good if you have a dog. This is the one doggy for popcorn off the ground. Okay, so I took a little bit of popcorn off the top. Sometimes I get a little overzealous, putting my kernels in. This is about as full as you want it in order to shake it properly. So stir it my butter a little bit. This is a 32 cup Tupperware bowl. It's pretty big. Our whole family will eat this bowl in flour probably. But everyone has a popcorn banner on here. I don't think Jess is like super into popcorn before we got married. But now at night it'll be 10 o'clock at night and we're sitting down to watch something. And he'll always be like, oh wait, are you feeling like popcorn? That what you want in? Because you want food to get up and make. And popcorn. Another thing you can do, I've added the Trigger Joe's chili lime. Seasoning to ours. It's really good. I also like mixing like craft Parmesan cheese with Lowry seasoning salt. And I'll do like a two to one, three to one, two to one ratio Parmesan to Lowry's. It's really really good. I'm gonna sprinkle it on my children or home. Let me just. Okay so Avery Jessica, I'm from school. She's currently bending down. Pinting down picking popcorn up off the ground. I didn't even ask her to. She's bent down and started doing it. Well clearly we were going to clean it up. Okay so that's it for your popcorn. It's all done. And my tips for the popcorn, this is the real tip. Get a good popper because some of the air pop poppers suck. This is such a good one. So have a good popper. Use organic kernels, sea salt, organic unsalted butter, have your measuring cup, and then counter clock, circular motion, drizzle, or you can go zigzag. And then remember hands on both sides and shake and toss. And that's it. Super easy Avery. What do you think of it? Can I just also say that I've had poppy's friends have said for their birthday, this is what they want me to make them. That's what they want me to make popcorn. That's true. We're gonna give everyone hooked on popcorn around here. So give it a try. Let me know how it goes. Send me your videos because I want to see you guys making your best version of the air pop popcorn.
