Pour your canola oil into a pan, over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, pour in your kernels and your salt.
Stir the popcorn kernels around with a wooden spoon to evenly coat them all.
Put a lid on the pan. I have a pan with a vented lid – which is nice because you’ll have a lot of steam as the kernels pop.
Shake pan periodically while kernels heat up. When they start popping you shouldn’t need to shake as much – just be careful not to burn the kernels. It might take a few times on the stove to figure out the heat and your particular stove. But it’s worth mastering!
Pour into a bowl and add melted butter.
