Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Put the oil and 3 kernels into a big lidded pot over medium-high heat. Cover.

2. 2

   Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat and keep it warm.

3. 3

   When the test kernels pop, lift them out and pour in the rest of the kernels. Shake the pot so they sit in one layer, then cover.

4. 4

   Take the pot off the heat for 30 seconds so all the kernels warm evenly, then set it back on the heat.

5. 5

   Once popping starts, slide the pot back and forth over the burner, keeping the lid slightly ajar to let steam escape.

6. 6

   When the pops slow to about 2 seconds apart, take the pot off the heat straight away.

7. 7

   Tip the popcorn into a large bowl, drizzle with the butter, sprinkle with the salt and toss well. Serve warm.
