My late husband LOVED kettle corn. Our son and I like it too, but not like he did. One day I found a "whirly-pop" for $3 in a Goodwill store. It was perfect for making kettle corn. However, KC is supposed to be sweet and salty, which means more than 1/4 tsp salt. I heated a couple Tbls sunflower oil and after a couple minutes threw in a few test kernels. When they popped, I added 1/4 cup of kernels. When they started popping I added 1/4 Cup whihte sugar and 1 Tbl fine salt and started cranking. It doesn't have to be a workout, just keep the kernels moving. They tumble over each other, making the perfect kettle corn. I really like the idea of coconut oil. I'll have to try that. I've also been thinking of trying the whirly-pop to make sugared/spiced pecans.
