MICROWAVE VERSION
Mix 1/2 cup kernels with 1 tsp canola oil and 1/2 tsp salt in a cup, then transfer to a brown paper lunch bag. Fold top over twice. Pop for about 2 minutes, or until popping is 2 to 3 seconds apart.

A second recipe calls for 1/3 cup kernels, 1 teaspoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and for the bag to be placed on a paper towel in the microwave.
