Start by showing the view of the kitchen and waterfall.

Introduce the popcorn types: Amish country popcorn and Orville Redenbacher.

Measure 1 cup of popcorn kernels and 1/3 cup of olive oil.

Add the popcorn and oil to a large pot without turning on the heat yet.

Turn the gas on to medium-low heat.

Stir the mixture in the pot to ensure the oil coats the kernels evenly.

Wait for the oil to start sizzling, stirring occasionally to heat the kernels evenly.

Once the first few kernels pop, cover the pot with a lid.

Listen for the popping sounds and adjust the lid to prevent steam from making the popcorn mushy.

When popping slows down, turn off the heat but keep the lid on for a minute to allow remaining kernels to pop.

Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl after popping is complete.

Melt 3/4 of a stick of butter in a small pot on low heat while waiting for the popcorn.

Pour some popcorn into the bowl and drizzle melted butter over it, mixing with salt.

Continue adding more popcorn and butter, mixing after each addition to evenly coat with butter and salt.

Count unpopped kernels and note that there are about 5 unpopped kernels, which is a good result.
