I grew up with a hand-cranked popcorn maker. Then, in grad school, I realized that you don’t actually need any of that, just a pot with oil.
I heat up (medium) a tiny bit of neutral oil with a few kernels until they pop. Then I add ~1/4C neutral oil and ~1/3C popcorn kernels. When I can count to ten between pops I turn it off, empty in bowl, drizzle with olive oil and add salt and nutritional yeast (and MSG if you have it).
