      Excellent. I did as others have suggested and added the sugar & salt after the first kernels started to pop. I had no problems with burning.

      This was very good and krispy popcorn. I did have a problem with the sugar mixture on the bottom of the pan burning, which got all over most of the popcorn when I was trying to mix in some extra salt. I might try someone elses recommendation and put in the sugar mixture after it's started popping.

      Excellent Kettle Corn Recipe! Another winner from Kittencal. Used a Theater II stove top popper. Took it off too late the second time and had some slightly burnt pieces. Better to have a few old maids than to burn it.

      This was really yummy! My only complaint is that it came out too sweet for my tastes, so when I make it again I will use a bit less sugar. Mine did burn a little bit, but I guess it takes a little practice to get it just perfect. Thanks for the recipe :)

      Wonderful! Delicious and easy. I had tried another recipe on the site for gooey carmel popcorn, but I prefer the crunchy version from this recipe. I put the lid on the pot to speed up the popping and my three year old loved watching the kernels pop up.

      Wow! Great recipe. I only used about 1/8 c. sugar and 3 Tbs oil and it turned out perfect! I used my stove top popper and did as recommended by others and shook the pan around every 15 seconds or so to keep the sugar from burning. I also needed my heat to be at medium-high before they would start popping.

      Very good. I will use more salt next time, but it was still really nice. Thank you!

      I LOVE kettle corn, but am forced to enjoy it only once a year (when the local county fair comes to town). I never thought about making it at home, but when I searched for a recipe, I was *ecstatic* to find that Kittencal had posted her recipe (for those of you who don't know, her recipes are all 5 stars +). This is SO good! The microwave kettle corn is horrible...not crunchy or salty enough, but THIS recipe is about as close as what you can get at the county fair. THANK YOU! :)

      Hot, fresh, kettle corn AT MY HOUSE anytime I want it?! Awesome!! Just made this with my stove top popper (that I have never used before) and I love it! My family is ecstatic, our mouths are happy and we have hot, fresh, kettle corn for our movie! Cheers! (does happy dance) :) **Forgot to add that to prevent the sugar from burning while the corn popped I did about about 8 turns or so of the popper handle then about 5 vigorous shakes, repeat. I don't think the stirring mechanism on the bottom of the popper is adequate enough to keep the sugar from burning. Happy Popping!

      I loved it and so did my kids. I added a little red food coloring to the sugar oil mixture to make it "pretty" for my little girls. I think the secret to not burning is to all the oil, then pop corn then just before it pops the sugar and stir stir stir!

      I thought there was far too much sugar and too much oil for the recipe. I don't want my kettle corn sticky. With this much sugar is was closer to carmel corn than it was kettle corn. I plan to make again but only use 1/8 cup of sugar and probably less oil as well. I plan to add the sugar after a few minutes of shaking (just before the kernals pop). Mine didn't burn, but I don't want it carmelized, either.

      I thought about it, but there was no way I was gonna make just half of this recipe & instead doubled it for the 2 of us! This was my first trip down 'kettle-corn lane' but my other half has had it before! VERY, VERY TASTY & very much worth making again! Many thanks!

      wow - fabulous. No need for stove top popper. I used my non-stick wok and it was perfect. Just shook it over the flame. Also added a shake of cayenne pepper when adding salt and sugar for a little kick. Wonderful

      Delicious! My family loves kettle corn and I am thrilled to be able to finally make it at home. This recipe has the perfect proportion of sugar/ salt ( I used table salt), that my family prefers. I made this in my Whirly Pop stovetop popcorn popper and didn't have a single burnt kernel. I preheated my electric stove to the mark on the dial between "medium" and "med-high". I added the oil and popcorn to the pan and put it on the burner; I stirred "slowly" constantly. Once the 1st kernel popped, I added the sugar and salt all at once. I then stirred "fast" constantly. When the popping slowed, I removed the pan from the heat. Thanks for a fabulous recipe...it is definitely a keeper! *Made for Zaar Stars tag game*

      Wonderful!!! I just went to the fair and spent over $10 on this stuff. It was so easy to make and tasted better. I waited for the corn to start to pop before I added the sugar and I also had a stove top popper so I had no burnt pieces. We will be making this again soon.

      This recipe is so delicious! I don't have a stove top popcorn popper, so I get a lot of burned pieces, but it is still really good.
