Preparation

Step 1

Heat the coconut oil/Flavocol: Melt the coconut oil and add in Flavocol in a 7- to 9-quart stockpot over medium-high heat. 400 and 460°F – the best popping results. If you have a smoke, it’s too hot.

Step 2

Even coat the kernels: Poor kernels into the pot, remove from heat and shake the pot to distribute the kernels.

Step 3

Pop kernels: reduce heat to medium. Shake the pan gently while the kernels pop, wait a few minutes up to about 3 minutes when the popping slows significantly (1 to 2 seconds between pops)

Step 4

Remove from the heat: Continue to shake the pot for another 30 seconds or until the popping stops completely.

Step 5

Add the oil/flavorings: Pour 1/2 of the butter or ghee over the popcorn, cover, and shake the pot to coat. Pour the remaining 1/2 butter or ghee over the popcorn and sprinkle with the salt. Cover again and shake. Serve immediately.
