To prepare, heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add about a third of a cup of kernels, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cover the pot and shake gently as the kernels begin to pop. Once popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove from heat. For air poppers, follow the manufacturer's instructions, typically adding a half cup of kernels.
