We generally make microwaved, since it is an easy snack for the kids to make themselves, but if I’m making it — I use the stove.

And my iron pan.

A thin layer of oil on the bottom, enough popcorn to coat the base, lid and a dial set on med-high. Patience.

With some melted butter and sea salt — divine.
