Place the oil into a medium size pot that has a lid on a high heat

When the oil is hot, place the popcorn kernels into the pot in a single layer

Put the lid on and as soon as it start popping, turn the heat off

Take off the stove as soon as you can see that most of the kernels have popped or if you don't have a glass lid, when the popping slows down

Wait for 30 seconds and then give the pot a good shake

Season straight away
