Watching a movie in our apartments for
rent in Lady Lake can be one of the best ways to enjoy
a night or weekend afternoon with a friend or that special
someone. But what is a movie without popcorn? To get the
full movie theater experience from home, try popping your
own popcorn. Unlike at a movie theater, you won’t
have to spend an arm and a leg or wait in a long line
to get your favorite movie snack.
For a perfect afternoon or evening of
popcorn and a movie in one of our apartments
for rent in Lady Lake, follow these tips:
- Visit a local grocery store and buy
some popcorn kernels and peanut oil. Popcorn kernels
might be hard to find among them many varieties of microwave
popcorn available, but popping popcorn the old-fashioned
way will be totally worth it.
- When popping popcorn over the stove,
make sure you use a heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. If
the pot is not heavy enough, it won’t be able
to withstand the force of the popping.
- Put your heavy-bottomed pot on the
stove over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons of
peanut oil.
- Add 3 kernels of popcorn into the
pot. When one of those kernels pop, add a half-cup of
popcorn kernels into the pot and put the cover on the
pot.
- Shake the pot gently over the stove.
Continue shaking until it seems like most of the kernels
have popped.
- Turn off the stove and keep shaking
the pot. A few more kernels will likely pop. Keep the
lid on the pot until you’re all done.
- If you like, open the lid and drizzle
some melted butter or sprinkle some seasoning on your
popcorn. After a few short minutes of cooling, pour
your popcorn into your favorite bowl, head back to your
couch, and enjoy your film with a tasty snack.
