Notes
1. Keep the air fryer on till you hear the popping sound. Then turn off the fryer before you pull the basket out. This ensures that the popped corn is not flying around when you open the basket.
2. To avoid popcorn from flying up to the coil cover the kernels with a wire mesh basket before popping. I did not face any issue of popcorn flying up. The key is in popping small batches at a time.
3. The popcorn is fresh and healthy. I can make 2 decent serves of popcorn at one go.
4. You can use any seasoning of choice. I love salt and pepper, peri peri seasoning, salt, cayenne and lime, garlic salt and cayenne.
5. Don’t use too many unpopped corn in the fryer Give them enough room to pop.
6. The timing may vary depending upon your air fryer and the quality of your unpopped corn.
