Pop Every Kernel Popcorn

Directions

1. 1
   Heat on medium-high heat, a 5-quart pot with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
2. 2
   Add 3 popcorn kernels to the oil and place the lid on the pot.
3. 3
   When the kernels begin to pop, remove the pot from the heat.
4. 4
   Pour in an even layer the 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels.
5. 5
   Cover and slowly count to 30.
6. 6
   After 30 seconds, return the pot to the medium-high heat.
7. 7
   When the kernels begin to pop, gently swirl the pot to encourage the remaining kernels to pop.
8. 8
   When the popping stops, turn off the heat and pour popcorn into a large bowl.
9. 9
   While the popcorn is hot, toss with your favorite topping.
10. 10
    My favorite (a throwback to my vegan days) is a generous drizzle of olive oil, lots of nutritional yeast (major umami), salt and freshly ground pepper.
