However, there are a few things that you need to consider and the method is slightly different to what you might use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The traditional method is on a stove,\nadding a little oil before you add in the kernels. The results are great but\nthere is more to clean up and you really do have to keep an eye on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I like to pop my popcorn in an\nair fryer. The reason is simple, it retains the taste and is less risk of\novercooking them or burning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s not the fastest way of doing\nit but it is an option if you don\u2019t have access to a microwave. The fastest way\nto do it is in the microwave\u2026but if you don\u2019t have one, the air fryer popcorn\nmethod is useful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"method-to-make-air-fryer-popcorn\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method to make air fryer popcorn<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Quarter cup of kernels<\/li><li>2 tablespoons of oil or spray with oil<\/li><li>Turn on air fryer and cook at 400F \/ 205c<\/li><li>Approximate time, 8 &#8211; 10 minutes<\/li><li>The popping of the kernels will stop when they are done. <\/li><li>Put into a bowl immediately and season to taste.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Top tip: <\/strong>You should line the inside of the tray with aluminum foil to stop popped&nbsp;popcorn&nbsp;from escaping the basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"447\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/can-you-air-fry-popcorn.jpg\" alt=\"can you air fry popcorn\" class=\"wp-image-3636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/can-you-air-fry-popcorn.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/can-you-air-fry-popcorn-320x179.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/can-you-air-fry-popcorn-560x313.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Can you air fry popcorn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"475\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/popcorn-in-air-fryer.jpg\" alt=\"popcorn in air fryer\" class=\"wp-image-3633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/popcorn-in-air-fryer.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/popcorn-in-air-fryer-303x180.jpg 303w, https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/popcorn-in-air-fryer-320x190.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/popcorn-in-air-fryer-560x333.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Popcorn in air fryer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"430\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/can-air-fryer-cook-popcorn.jpg\" alt=\"can air fryer cook popcorn\" class=\"wp-image-3635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/can-air-fryer-cook-popcorn.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/can-air-fryer-cook-popcorn-320x172.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/can-air-fryer-cook-popcorn-560x301.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Can air fryer cook popcorn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/how-long-to-air-fry-popcorn.jpg\" alt=\"how long to air fry popcorn\" class=\"wp-image-3638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/how-long-to-air-fry-popcorn.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/how-long-to-air-fry-popcorn-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.dutchovenscookware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/how-long-to-air-fry-popcorn-560x315.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>How long to air fry popcorn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advantages of using an air fryer to pop popcorn<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Less mess<\/li><li>Consistent<\/li><li>Less chance of over cooking<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Disadvantages of using an air fryer popcorn<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Takes longer<\/li><li>Kernels may get stuck in heating element<\/li><li>Have to make smaller portions<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"can-you-use-an-air-fryer-to-pop-popcorn-you-sure-can\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can you use an air fryer to pop popcorn ?
