  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large pot with a tightfitting lid. When it shimmers, add kernels, cover, and shake to evenly distribute. Once kernels start popping, gently shake the pot until the popping dies down, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, immediately toss popcorn with sugar and salt, and serve.
