Making popcorn from kernels is easy. You combine oil, salt, and kernels in a pot, place the lid on top, and wait until they finish popping. But let’s say you don’t have a pot or hate cleaning it after. Well, TikTok has the perfect solution for you.
A new trend surfaced on TikTok recently and features users making popcorn in aluminum foil. We know it sounds unusual but most food trends on TikTok do.
One of the most popular videos linked with this trend belongs to @alona_loewen. In a viral clip, which received 47 million views, the TikToker can be seen placing a sheet of aluminum foil on a pan. They then dump a cup of kernels on it and add a stick of butter and a pinch of salt. Another aluminum foil sheet is placed on top and the edges are sealed.
The user then pokes a small hole in the top and heats the aluminum bag of popcorn while shaking it. The kernels soon start popping and quickly fill up the aluminum bag.
Numerous other TikTokers tried the same method and some got positive results while others were disappointed. It appears that the only way to find out is to try it yourself.
