Add 3 popcorn kernels to the oil, cover the pot with a lid, and place it over medium-high heat.

Listen carefully. Once you hear all 3 kernels pop, the oil is at the perfect temperature.

Add Ingredients and Start Popping (3-4 minutes)

Remove the pot from the heat. Quickly pour in the remaining popcorn kernels, sugar, and salt.
Stir rapidly for 10-15 seconds to coat the kernels as evenly as possible.
Secure the lid and return the pot to the medium-high heat.
As soon as the kernels begin to pop, start shaking the pot constantly. Use oven mitts to hold the lid and handle.
Shake the pot back and forth over the burner to prevent the sugar from burning and to ensure even popping.
Continue shaking until the popping slows to about 2-3 seconds between pops.

Cool and Serve (1-2 minutes)

Immediately remove the pot from the heat and pour the kettle corn into your prepared large bowl. This is crucial to stop the cooking process and prevent it from clumping.
Be extremely cautious as the pot and the melted sugar are very hot.
Allow the kettle corn to cool for a few minutes. The sugar coating will harden and become perfectly crisp as it cools. Break apart any large clumps before serving.
