Method
- 1
Put the oil and 3 kernels in a large pan with a lid. Heat over a medium high heat until all 3 pop.

Add the rest of the kernels, cover, and take the pan off the heat for 30 seconds. Return it to the heat.
- 3
Shake the pan gently as the corn pops. When the popping slows to a few seconds between pops, take it off the heat. This takes about 4 minutes.
4 min - 4
Melt the butter in a small pan or in the microwave.
- 5
Tip the popcorn into a very large bowl. Pour over the butter and toss well, then add the parmesan, pepper and salt and toss again.
