Kettle Corn 

As you may know, I’ve been practicing this kettle corn for a few weeks now. It maybe because my equipment was a bit different, you used a discada,, I used a 5 gallon jambalaya pot. However, when I waited til a third of the corn was was popped I didn’t get as even a coating and I had much more of those sugar clumps (rock candy). If I let the sugar melt a bit before adding the corn I wound up with caremel corn at best and a burned sticky mess at worst. I have to get the oil hot first that’s why I had the three test pieces, then add the sugar. This method of adding the sugar just a few seconds before the corn gave me the best coating on the corn and easier clean up of the cast iron kettle because most of the sugar was on the corn and not remaining stuck to the bottom of the pot. I appreciate you watching and your inspirational kettle corn video. It was only your video that had the right ratio of corn, oil and sugar. Some had too little or too much sugar, or corn or oil. That little sugar piece I showed at the end was the only little bit of extra sugar I had.

@@BigLewBBQ lol, I was going to tell Big Lew to see your video Jaxx. Big Lew, I have tried 3 times and still trying to get it down. FYI, I got to meet and hang out with Jaxx last June!

So glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you Joe, glad you enjoyed it.

Yes I have an uncle Steve’s on popcorn video. I also like bacon grease popcorn. Check out Jaxx’s video if you haven’t seen it.

It’s a blast! Thanks man!

I used corn oil, seemed to make sense to pop corn in corn oil. This kettle corn fair and festival style popcorn anyway. How ya been, Bou?

I worked in the movies popping corn in college and never knew it was coconut oil. 😯🤔😉😊. Tastes yummy! Kettle corn is a whole new ballgame though. It is DELICIOUS!😍🤗😋!

@@jennivelez7777 I used to work at a theater.

Well I looked this up for you. It seems to be an Australian butter flavored popcorn salt. It even spells flavor with a “u”. www.gfresh.com.au/product/popcorn-salt/ Popcorn salt is just powdered salt, you can make it your self by putting table salt in a bender, or using a spice or salt grinder on the finest setting. Table salt and certainly more coarse grain salt doesn’t stick to popcorn. But if it is powdered (ground real fine) it stays on. Various flavors can be added to the powdered salt. Movie Theaters in Australia don’t use yellow butter flavored popcorn salt?

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

Maybe the heat could be a bit higher, I have been practicing with this for about a month or so. When the heat is too high the sugar gets real dark and burns the popcorn. The kettle is also difficult to clean. Looking for a pale yellow colored coating on the popcorn. Somewhere between an off white and a buff color. I’m trying to make kettle corn not Cracker Jack. Thanks for watching Gringo. Glad you enjoyed the video. This is fun to make. The cast iron kettle weighs thirty-eight pounds!

I got three dogs, they eagerly took care of the lawn clean up. Thanks for watching Sal. Rock On!

Well, maybe that will be a different video.

It does we love it.

corn oil of course. I guess you could use syrup but traditionally kettle corn is made with white sugar.

Yep, I’m just a fella having fun with food fire and a phone camera.

That fried sugar piece almost did.

I cooked the popcorn in a five gallon cast iron jambalaya kettle, and I served it from an aluminum crawfish tray.
