To prepare, heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add three kernels to the pot and wait for them to pop. Once they pop, add about a third of a cup of popcorn kernels to the pot, cover tightly, and shake the pot gently and continuously. Listen for the popping to slow down to one pop every few seconds, then remove from heat. Carefully pour the popped popcorn into a bowl, season as desired, and enjoy.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to microwave popcorn, these kernels offer more control over ingredients and preparation. They also tend to produce a more uniformly popped batch with fewer unpopped kernels, and the texture can be adjusted based on the cooking method and oil used.

How to keep the rest
