• whatever you do, DON’T use the microwaveable bagged popcorn. Yes it’s fast and easy, but it’s got terrible chemicals that are really bad for you and your lungs, also it’s not nearly as good as stove popcorn.
• grab a big pot
• the key to AMAZING popcorn is oil, use whatever you want, my go to is peanut oil, but use a decent amount of it
• you want to make sure at the very least the entire bottom of the pot is coated with oil, I try to aim for 1/3 oil to 2/3 uncooked popcorn kernels.
• pour popcorn kernels until they too fill the bottom of the pot
• turn your stove up to high
• PUT A LID ON THAT POT!!!
• just wait a few minutes until the popping slows significantly, I shake the pot with the lid on it from time to time to avoid hotspots/burning of the popcorn
• if you are making a large amount, take the lid off once you have a couple of inches of popped kernels (this allows the heat to escape)
• put some salt and whatever you else you like on it in terms of seasoning
• enjoy!!

TLDR: stove cook it with a decent amount of oil and it will taste amazing.
