I watched this video on 2x speed and the sound of you shaking the popcorn in the bowl was very satisfying. 😂 That looks like some delicious popcorn!! We only use bag popcorn but I've had a box of kernels for years and just never knew what to do with them since we didn't have a popcorn pot. Was thinking about popping them to use for popcorn garlands on the tree this year so I could finally be free of that box... but now your video and the way your popcorn came out looking so yummy is making me think I should stop buying bagged popcorn and go straight kernels! Wow! 🤤 Now I'm eyeing this kernels box and wondering if kernels have an expiration date. I want tasty fluffy popcorn! LOL Do you reuse the kernels that were left over after the popping? Or are they duds?

@cubecompmtdx 3 жыл бұрын

I usually toss the leftovers as they've pretty much already been heated up a good bit, but not enough to rupture the shells. Popcorn with time can go dry. I attempted growing popcorn in my garden this year, and unfortunately the kernels are just too dry to get a good pop without burning.

@AlottaBoulchit 3 жыл бұрын

@@cubecompmtdx Ahh I see! I had always wondered if those leftovers were useful or not. 😲 So your homegrown corn didn't pop well? Could the age of the plant be a reason for the dry kernels? Thanks for replying!! 💖

I'm not sure how well they would pop after already being heated prior... I would think it would taste burnt or at least not fresh. I wish more of the kernels popped with this method.
