I have tried everything and THIS IS THE BEST
This is by far the most successful “at home popcorn I’ve made. Using ghee (or clarified butter) instead of coconut is a close second, but not as cost-effective.
Do your bowls in batches; the patience really does pay off.
Start by heating up your stock pot on a medium heat. Spoon a tbsp of coconut oil into the pot along with 3-4 kernels. cover with the lid and shake from side to side every 20-30 seconds. Once the kernels pop, add the remaining portion. Shake, covered, to coat. Continue to shake until popped.
If you are making more than one batch, add another tbsp of coconut oil for the next round.

Notes
Tips to make it:
Make your bowls in batches, or you might end up with tons of unpopped kernels or burnt fluffs.
Also, you must use Orville Redenbacher kernels. It won’t work if you skimp out (I have tried it!).
