Regan's Popcorn for Popcorn Snobs

​Start with the right stuff. I use an 8-qt Calphalon stockpot with a cover. (You want a tall pot that can take the heat), organic peanut oil, organic Eden popcorn (not just any organic popcorn will do, I’ve tried them) and Real Salt.
 
Add enough organic peanut oil to cover the bottom of the pot and put a half dozen corn kernels in the oil. Turn the burner to medium heat, cover and wait for the first kernel to pop.
 
Once a kernel or two pops, add enough kernels to cover the bottom of the pan and cover. Swirl the corn around occasionally.
 
When the kernels stop pinging against the cover (when about a third of the corn is popped), take the lid off and continue to swirl the pan. You can hear the loose kernels, not yet popped, as you do.
 
The popping will slow. When you don’t hear anything for a few seconds, take it off the burner and dump into a large bowl.
 
If you did it right and your heat setting wasn’t too high, you should have fluffy, perfectly popped, tasty popcorn. Salt it with Real Salt (a sea salt with all the minerals).
 
Note: Using an electric stove won’t work as well but it can be done; it just may not be quite as good as getting the heat level right is tricky.
