Popcorn from Corn
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. For a party, you can make popcorn yourself; to do this, buy kernels of a special variety of corn at the market or supermarket. Do not prepare it in advance, as popcorn readily absorbs moisture and becomes tasteless and loses its crispness. Serve with herbs and sauce.

Step 3
Pour vegetable oil into the kazan and heat it on the stove until it is almost boiling. Add the corn kernels to the oil, reduce the heat to medium, and immediately cover the pot with a lid. Do not remove the lid, because as the kernels pop, they will fly in all directions! Wait until the popping has almost stopped, then turn off the heat.
