What is the best way to do this if you don’t have a microwave?
On the cook top. Heat a little oil in the pan (enough to thinly cover base), cover with a lid and allow a minute for it to get hot. Test by adding a single kernel, it should sizzle, then you know oil is ready. Add some pop corn and cover again. Wait until you hear popping. Shake pan carefully, every now and again, so that popcorn doesn’t burn. When you stop hearing the popping, it is ready.
