As the kernels begin to pop, you'll stir them continuously to prevent burning and ensure an even coating of the sweet and salty mixture. The process is designed to be quick and engaging, resulting in freshly made kettle corn with minimal fuss. The aroma of the popping corn and caramelizing sugar fills the kitchen.
