To prepare popcorn, heat a pot on the stove with a small amount of oil. Add the popcorn kernels to the hot oil, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cover the pot with a lid, leaving it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Shake the pot occasionally as the kernels begin to pop. Continue shaking until the popping slows to several seconds between pops. Remove from heat and season as desired.
