Steps:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the oil and 2 popcorn kernels. Cover the pot and wait for the kernels to pop, which might take a few minutes. In the meantime, place a large serving bowl near the stove so it's ready when you need it.
- Once the kernels pop, turn off the burner, remove the pot from the heat and pour in the remaining popcorn kernels. Cover the pot again, and give the pot a little shimmy to distribute the kernels evenly. Let the pot rest for 60 seconds to make sure the oil doesn't get too hot before the kernels are ready to pop.
- Turn the heat back up to medium, put the pot back onto the burner and continue cooking the popcorn, carefully shimmying the pot occasionally to cook the kernels evenly. Once the kernels start popping, tip the lid just a touch to allow steam to escape (see photo).
- Continue cooking until the popping sound slows to about one pop per every few seconds. (If the popcorn tries to overflow the pot, just tip the upper portion of popcorn into your bowl and return it to the heat.)
- Remove the lid and dump the popcorn into your serving bowl. Sprinkle the popcorn with a couple pinches of salt, to taste, and any other topping you would like. Toss the popcorn and serve immediately, for best flavor and texture. The popcorn will taste good for several hours, though.

- Place the oil, popcorn and salt in a large, 6-quart, metal mixing bowl. Cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and poke 10 slits in the top with a knife.

- Remove the bowl from the heat and carefully remove the foil. Stir in any salt that is on the side of the bowl.
- Melt the butter in the microwave. Slowly drizzle over the popcorn, while spinning the bowl. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil (theaters use coconut oil) until very hot but not smoking (400 to 460 degrees) in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pan with a lid. Add a few kernels-when they pop, add 1 cup kernels in a single layer and put the lid on, leaving it slightly ajar. Shake the pan during popping to keep the kernels from burning. When the popping slows, remove the pan from the heat until the popping stops. Toss the popcorn with fine salt.

Tips:
- Use the right popcorn. Not all popcorn kernels are created equal. Use popcorn kernels specifically labeled for popping on the stove. These kernels have a higher moisture content, which helps them pop.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot. A heavy-bottomed pot will distribute heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Add oil and salt. The oil helps the popcorn pop, and the salt adds flavor. You can use any type of oil you like, but coconut oil and avocado oil are good choices because they have a high smoke point.
- Heat the pot over medium-high heat. You want the pot to be hot enough to pop the popcorn, but not so hot that the popcorn burns.
- Add the popcorn kernels. Add just enough popcorn kernels to cover the bottom of the pot in a single layer. If you add too many kernels, they won't have enough room to pop.
- Cover the pot and shake it. Cover the pot with a lid and shake it back and forth over the heat. This helps distribute the heat evenly and prevents the popcorn from burning.
- Listen for the popping to slow down. Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
- Pour the popcorn into a bowl. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and let it cool for a few minutes before eating.
- Add your favorite toppings. You can add butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, or any other seasonings you like to your popcorn.
Conclusion:
Stove-popped popcorn is a delicious and easy snack to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of attention, you can make perfect popcorn every time. So next time you're looking for a crunchy and satisfying snack, give stove-popped popcorn a try. You won't be disappointed!
