• Step 1

  Measure the oil into a large, heavy-based saucepan and add two kernels of popping corn.

• Step 2

  With adult help: Heat the saucepan over medium–high
  heat. When the two kernels pop, tip the remaining popping
  corn into the saucepan and quickly put the lid on. Wearing
  an oven mitt, hold the lid on tight and gently swirl the pan
  around so all of the popping corn gets coated in oil.
  Soon you’ll hear the corn start to pop! Keep the lid on and
  don’t peek, because the corn could escape from the pan and burn you. If you really want to see what’s happening, try using a saucepan with a glass lid.

• Step 3

  With adult help: Give the pan a gentle shake with the lid on
  while the corn is popping. After roughly a minute, when the
  sound of popping has slowed to 1 or 2 pops every 5 seconds, take the saucepan off the heat. Leave the lid on until the corn has stopped popping completely.

• Step 4

  With adult help: Wearing oven mitts, use a large measuring
  cup to scoop the popcorn into a bowl. Leave any dark bits
  in the bottom of the pan. These are the corn kernels that
  didn’t pop or open all the way and may have burnt – there
  are usually a few in every batch.

• Step 5

  With adult help: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over
  medium heat. Once the butter has melted, remove the
  pan from the heat and add the spices and salt. Mix well,
  then evenly pour the butter mixture over the popcorn.
  Using a metal spoon, stir well. Add the grated parmesan
  and quickly combine so the cheese sticks to the popcorn.
  Serve immediately.
