No Kernel Left Behind

A few months ago I found a quick and easy method of popping corn on the stove.  It yields almost every single kernel popped.  No more trial and error for me.  It's quick and easy...
(scroll to bottom to see full recipe without pics)

Stove Top Popcorn

1-3 Qt Pot with lid
3 Tbs of Grape seed Oil
1/3 Cup of Popcorn Kernels
(I keep mine in the freezer for freshness)

*Pour oil in pot on the stove
*Place 4 of the kernels into the oil and cover with lid
*Turn on fire to medium heat
*Stay close and listen for the 4 kernels to pop
*Once the kernels pop, pour in the remaining kernels, and cover with lid, then remove from heat
*Count out 30 seconds and return to medium heat
     -The kernels will begin popping almost simultaneously
*Once the pops slow down and you can count 7-10 seconds with no popping sound then it's ready
*Remove from heat, uncover and dump into bowl



 -If you want butter just put into popping pot while it's still hot
-I add a sprinkle of garlic powder & lemon pepper ;0)

This recipe is ideal if you plan on making Carmel Corn or popcorn balls.  Hope you like it.
