To prepare, you will need a pot with a lid or a dedicated popcorn maker. Add a small amount of cooking oil to the pot and heat it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the kernels, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cover the pot tightly and shake it 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. You can then add your desired seasonings.
