Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add 3 popcorn kernels, cover with the lid, and wait until all 3 kernels pop — this signals the oil is hot enough.

2. 2

   Remove the pot from the heat and add the remaining kernels in a single layer. Cover and let the pot sit off the heat for 30 seconds — this allows all the kernels to come up to roughly the same temperature so they pop more evenly.
