The key chez Colquhoun is remembering to get the butter melting before we heat the oil. If you heat the butter too fast it will not taste as good as a theater. If you melt it at the lowest setting stove-top it honestly tastes different. You want to take it off the burner just before it clarifies.
We cover the bottom of a big pan with Crisco oil. Then, we cover the bottom of the same pan with Orville Redenbacher Original kernels. Make popcorn in the usual stove-top way. Douse liberally with butter and salt. Pass around a lot of napkins! Start previews.
