Instructions
Popcorn Popper Instructions
- Add popping sorghum.
- Swirl the sorghum in the popper to coat grains with ghee or oil. Wear oven mitts to protect your hands in case the hot oil or grains come out of the pan.
- Cover the popper. Continue cooking, shaking the popper every 30 seconds or so. This step is key with popping sorghum so it doesn’t burn. Make sure to really shake it well.
- Continue cooking until popping slows to 1 or 2 pops every 3 to 4 seconds. Note: Up to ⅓ of the grains may not pop, so don’t let it burn.
- Then remove from heat. Sprinkle with salt and let cool slightly.
- You can eat the un-popped grains or pick them out – whichever is your preference.
- You can also top with melted ghee or oil, if desired.
Stovetop Instructions
- Heat heavy saucepan over medium heat until hot – 1 to 2 minutes, depending on if you have gas or electric burners. If you flick a couple drops of water on the surface of the pan, it should sizzle. Don’t wait too long or it will be too hot and burn.
- Add popping sorghum.
- Cover the pan. Cook over medium heat, shaking the pan really well every 30 seconds or so.
- Continue cooking until popping slows to 1 or 2 pops every 3 to 4 seconds. Note: Up to ⅓ the grains may not pop, so don’t let it burn.
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle with salt and let cool slightly.
- You can eat the un-popped grains or pick them out – whichever is your preference.
- You can also top with melted ghee or oil, if desired.
Microwave Instructions
- Put in the microwave for 1 ½ to 2 ½ minutes on medium. Cook until popping slows to 1 or 2 pops every 3 to 4 seconds. (I strongly recommend you be out of the room while the microwave is running. This does make it hard to stop the microwave at the right time.)
- Remove from microwave. Sprinkle with salt and let cool slightly.
- You can eat the un-popped grains or pick them out – whichever is your preference.
- You can also top with melted ghee or oil, if desired.
