butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

popcorn kernels

💰Cheaper: bulk popcorn

Buying in bulk saves money.

Turn the burner on high.

Cover the bottom of an old pressure cooker pan with canola oil.

Add one popcorn kernel to the pan and cover it with a lid.

Wait for the kernel to pop.

Once the kernel pops, pour in the rest of the popcorn kernels and cover with the lid again.

Keep the burner on high and let the popcorn start popping.

Do not shake the pan right away; wait until it starts popping before shaking.

Open the lid slightly to let some air in while the popcorn pops.

Give the pan a good shake towards the end of popping.

Turn the burner off after shaking and remove from heat.

Serve the popcorn in bowls and add salt, butter, or parmesan curry mix as desired.
