Richard Blais’s Nitro Popcorn Recipe

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over high heat.

Add the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with a lid. Shake the pot constantly until the popping slows down.

Remove the pot from heat and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.

Season the popcorn with salt to taste.

Ladle enough liquid nitrogen into a separate large mixing bowl to cover the bottom by about 1 inch.

Using tongs, carefully place a small handful of popcorn into the liquid nitrogen for about 10-15 seconds, or until the popcorn is frozen and crunchy.

Remove the popcorn from the liquid nitrogen and let it come to room temperature for a minute before serving.

Repeat with the rest of the popcorn.
