To prepare, heat a cooking vessel with a lid, such as a pot or air popper, over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of cooking oil if using a stovetop method. Once the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cover the vessel and shake gently as the kernels begin to pop. Continue shaking until the popping slows to several seconds between pops. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
