Ingredients

  • ½ cup popcorn kernels (4 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • optional toppings: melted butter, seasonings

Instructions

  • Set your pot to sauté and add oil. Allow the oil to heat up until it becomes shimmery, 1 - 2 minutes (depending on your pot, it may display "hot" at about the same time).
  • Add popcorn kernels to heated oil, and stir for about 1 minute before adding a lid (a glass lid preferably, but NOT the pressurizing lid).
  • Allow popcorn to cook/pop for about 5 minutes, until most of the kernels have popped (they will begin popping after about 2 minutes).
  • Top with melted butter and your favorite seasonings, if desired.

Notes

  • A glass lid is best so you can easily monitor the popcorn as it cooks.
  • If you feel like the kernels are not cooking evenly, try shaking the pot a little bit every minute or two.
