How to Recrisp Popcorn

Published in Popcorn Recrisping 1 min read

Stale popcorn can be easily revived! Simply reheat it in a low-temperature oven to restore its crispness.

Recrisping Your Popcorn in the Oven

To recrisp leftover popcorn, follow these simple steps:

  1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 250°F (120°C). A lower temperature prevents burning and ensures even reheating.
  2. Spread the popcorn: Arrange your popcorn in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even crisping.
  3. Bake: Bake for approximately five minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. The time may vary depending on your oven and the amount of popcorn.
  4. Cool and enjoy: Remove the popcorn from the oven and let it cool slightly before enjoying.

This method is particularly effective for large quantities of popcorn, such as those purchased at movie theaters. The low temperature gently heats the kernels, driving out excess moisture and restoring their satisfying crunch.
