📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pour the oil into a large heavy bottom pot (that also has a lid.) The oil should cover the bottom of the pot.
2
Warm the oil over medium-high heat.
3
Test
4
Place 3 kernels in the oil, in the center of the pot; wait for the kernels to pop.
5
Add
6
Once the kernels pop, remove them with a slotted spoon and discard, then add ½ cup kernels, making sure they’re in an even layer.
7
Warm
8
Cover the pot and remove from the heat. Count to 30.
9
Pop
10
Return pot to the heat. (The popcorn will soon begin popping, and all at once.)
11
Shake
12
Once the popping is more intense, gently shake the pot back and forth over the burner, leaving a slight opening for steam to escape (which results in crispier popcorn.)
13
Remove
14
Once the popping settles down in between pops, remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid, and immediately pour the popcorn into a big bowl.
15
Season
16
Sprinkle the hot popcorn with a little salt to taste (and drizzle with melted butter, if using) and enjoy!
