1. Prepare special popcorn (sold in major supermarkets or grain and oil stores), edible oil or professional butter, white sugar or cream, and domestic wok.

2. Turn the gas stove into a medium-small fire. When the pan is dry, pour in cooking oil. The quantity will increase or decrease according to the quantity of popcorn. Generally, all popcorn can be coated with oil.

3. Pour the popcorn into the oil at the same time. Don't wait for the oil to be very hot before pouring it. Use explosion-proof rice paste. The burnt popcorn will not bloom.

4. After covering the lid, always pick up the pot and shake it a few times. When the popcorn is half full, turn down the heat and shake it for a while. Sonic boom will be heard in the meantime, and then the fire can be turned off.

I always put sugar in the pot at the beginning, and some people boil it before putting it. You can experiment and see which effect will be better.

6. Shake it for a while after turning off the fire to prevent the waste heat from baking the formed popcorn. When it is not very hot, you can open the lid.
