By the way have you ever felt a dilemma about choosing salted or sweet popcorn? Sometimes I prefer to choose the sweet one if I bought at movie theater because it worth the price haha. Now you don’t have to worry about that anymore. I will tell you the technics about how to make Homemade Salted Caramel Popcorn, so now you can make both sweet and salty popcorn at home.

What you need to prepare, especially for making the caramel:

  1. Use a thick and heavy bottom large saucepan with a lid. Let me be honest with you. I failed to made the caramel in the first try because I use thin bottom saucepan. The caramel is burnt and the taste is bitter. Thick and heavy bottom saucepan let the sugar melted evenly and the caramel in the bottom is not burnt.
  2. I use both cooking oil and butter when fry the corn kernels. The cooking oil has higher smoke point than the butter so you won’t have burnt tasting popcorn. Butter adds the aroma. You can use only cooking oil but be careful to not use only butter. Butter has low smoke point, it will burnt before all the corn has pop.
  3. If you want to make the salty version, omit the caramel making instructions. Place the popcorn on baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and/or chicken seasoning.

In this recipe I use Gordon Ramsay’s recipe. He don’t mention the exact measurements for couple of ingredients so I have to play with it. It turns out really good.

By making popcorn at home you can make it as much as you want and save a lot of money. Don’t forget to shared it with your movie partners!

    The caramel burnt and bitter. Could it be due to too high heat?

      Probably yes. And you should use heavy bottom saucepan. If it’s too thin, it will burn easily.
