i tried putting the corn into the pan with oil, then slowly heating it till it popped.
the pan got extremely hot, the corn looked a little burnt, and nothing happened! this is after half an hour!
i threw it away and put a fresh batch into the pre heated pan on a little higher heat.
its been going for over half an hour, and still nothing! theres a strong smell coming from the pan but no popping.
i have the lid on and i have tried with the lid ajar, nothing.

Why are you doing it in the oven rather than on a stove top?
Maybe the oil isn't hot enough?
Could be that it's old/stale
im doing it on the stove. i would not even try it in the oven!:eek:
from waitrose yesterday! sealed packaging, expiry is months away.
just thrown the second batch away as the corn got burnt to a crisp without a sign of a pop :mad:
I was going to post my method but its the same as the link above
That sounds nice. Where can you buy that from?
I got it in Tesco, half-price. A bag was £1 instead of £1.99. Warning though, when you start you'll eat the whole bag!
Your post brought back memories of when my boys were young and we used to pop corn and the amount of times we took the lid off before they had really stopped popping and we had to hide from flying missiles. Great fun.
Hope you manage to get your popcorn today.
