Corn that can be used as popcorn is not as easy to buy as expected. Most supermarkets or convenience stores sell semi-finished popcorn. At that price, you can make a lot of popcorn by buying dried corn yourself. Later, I went to the traditional miscellaneous grain store to buy dry corn kernels. Although the price is still a bit higher than expected, I thought corn was very cheap.
I always thought it was difficult to make popcorn at home, because there were too many failed examples in the past. It makes me a little afraid to continue to try, but since I made oil-free popcorn once. I found that the oiled popcorn is actually simpler, and the chance of burning is much lower. And it doesn't hurt the pot.
You don't need too much oil as long as the corn kernels can be covered. The oil can be put in and heated together before it is hot. Then remember to keep turning and heating evenly. Once the first corn pops, it's ready to be covered and shaken. If it is a glass cover, it is better to observe, otherwise it is judged by listening to the sound. Shake slightly away from heat, back and forth to heat the kernels as much as possible. When you hear the sound more frequently, you can consider turning off the fire, leaving the residual heat.
Adding salt or sugar to taste is a personal choice. Making caramel is probably more successful than adding it straight in. If you add salt later, you may eat particles and dissolve unevenly.
