  1. 1

    Pop the Kernels

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels and cover the pot. When the kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels. Cover the pot and shake gently to ensure even popping.

    Finish Popping

    Continue to shake the pot occasionally until the popping sound slows down to about 2 seconds between pops. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Season the Popcorn

    Transfer the popped popcorn to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat evenly.

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until completely liquid.

  2. 5

    Add to Popcorn

    Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat. Adjust the amount of butter to taste.
