Pop Every Kernel Popcorn

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.
