Easy Stovetop Popcorn

Step 9Release steam

Release steam
Do this a lot!

Lift the lid a little to release the steam that's building up in the pan.
Otherwise you will get chewy popcorn.

At some point, the kernels will have popped high enough that some will try to escape during this step. It means you're almost done!

I was always doing this way, until I found its easier to do it in microwave. But, as you put it, the taste is different in stove top popcorn. But, with me, some kernels always burn and it destroys the flavor of the rest of the popped corn.

You can also use aluminum foil with holes punched in to let the steam escape. I do this all the time and never worry about "chewy" popcorn. Plus you don't have to clean the lid!
