What it is

To prepare, heat a suitable amount of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot. Shake the pot gently and continuously as the kernels begin to pop. Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. Carefully season with salt and any desired butter or toppings. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
