How to Pop Old Corn.

Old corn is difficult to pop and the kernels will be larger, more flaky, tender and crisp if the shelled popcorn Is soaked in cold water for 15 minutes, the water then drained off and the corn popped over an intensely hot fire. Good results are obtained sometimes when corn pops slowly, by sprinkling it with water. The steam causes the kernels to burst more quickly.
