Be extra careful when opening a bag, foil dome, or even removing the lid off a pot of freshly made popcorn! Why? The water vapor, which burst out of each kernel, is in the container and is very hot.

This kettle corn recipe is a quick and easy ... I recommend leaving the lid on the bowl. Once the popcorn starts popping, hot sugar can shoot out of the holes, making a mess or burning someone ...

Air-popped corn, with no flavoring or oil, is a better snack choice. See the Ratings for the best choices in two flavors. Nice kettle popcorn is a CR Best Buy at just 19 cents per 1-cup serving.
