To prepare, heat a pot with a small amount of oil over medium-high heat. Add a few kernels to test the temperature; they should pop within seconds. Once the oil is hot, add the rest of the kernels, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cover the pot and shake gently as the kernels pop. Remove from heat when popping slows to several seconds between pops. Season as desired.
