Step 1

Place a large pot over medium high heat. Add the Vegetable Oil (2 Tbsp) and 4 corn kernels, these will be a test.

Step 2

Place the lid on the pot and watch for the kernels to pop, this will probably take a minute or so.

Step 3

Once all 4 kernels have popped, lift the lid and remove those kernels so they don't burn.

Step 4

Add the Popcorn Kernels (1/2 cup) to the pan.

Step 5

Cover the pot with the lid and remove from heat. Hold the pot away from the stove and shake back and forth for 30 seconds.

Step 6

Return the pot to the stove. Set the lid so there is a small gap, which will allow steam to escape so your popcorn doesn't get soggy.

Step 7

As the kernels start to pot, gently shake the pot back and forth over the heat to ensure even heating.

Step 8

The kernels will continue to pop. When there is about 2 seconds between popping, it's time to remove the pot from the heat.

Step 9

Pour the popcorn into a bowl and season with Salt (to taste) . If you'd like, drizzle with Olive Oil (to taste) . Then shake vigorously so the popcorn is evenly coated.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy!
