To prepare, you will need a heat source, such as a stovetop or an air popper. For stovetop popping, heat a small amount of oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add a few kernels to test the temperature; they should pop within seconds. Once hot, add the rest of the kernels, cover the pot, and shake gently as they pop. Listen for the popping to slow down significantly before removing from heat. For air poppers, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
