Popcorn is my favorite snack, especially when it’s Dutch Oven popcorn made on the stove. I thought about trying to make it in our Lodge Dutch oven for a while & I finally gave it a try. We cook on cast iron daily, so I figured this should be easy enough.

Dutch Oven Popcorn freshly made on the stovetop. In the background, is a crock with cooking utensils, cast iron skillets, a glass jar of popcorn kernels & a kitchen aid mixer.

Here is how I made Dutch Oven Popcorn on the stove.

I heated up the Dutch oven first to get it really hot. Then, I added a layer of vegetable oil. Once the oil got hot, I added a kernel to see if it would pop. Once it did, I added a layer of kernels. I covered the Dutch oven. I lifted the Dutch oven & shook it every now & then. Do not slide it on the burner, it was cause a spark. Be careful as it is very hot. After a few minutes, you will hear the kernels stop popping.

Remove lid & Pour into a bowl, add salt & enjoy!
