Steps:
- Movie theaters use butter-flavored oil, which has a lower water content than butter so it makes popcorn less soggy. Real clarified butter has the same effect. To make it, melt 2 sticks butter in a glass measuring cup in the microwave. Let sit for a few minutes; the butter will separate into 3 layers. Skim off the top layer of foam, then slowly pour the clarified butter into a heatproof container; discard the bottom layer of milk solids. Use 3 tablespoons hot clarified butter for 10 cups popcorn; refrigerate the rest (it's great for sauteeing).

Steps:
- Pour popcorn in a paper lunch sack.
- Add oil and butter.
- Fold the top of the bag over twice (approximately 3/4" folds).
- Shake to distribute the oil.
- Place on its side on a microwave safe plate.
- Microwave on the popcorn setting (or set for 5 minutes and remove when there is 3 seconds between pops).
- Plate will be hot - use a potholder to remove it from the microwave.
- Open carefully because of steam and hot buttery spots on bag. Add salt to taste.
Tips:
- Use a large pot. Popcorn will expand significantly as it pops, so it's important to use a pot that is large enough to accommodate the expansion. Otherwise, you risk having popcorn popping over the sides of the pot and making a mess.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. Adding too many kernels to the pot will prevent them from popping properly. As a general rule, you should use no more than 1/3 cup of kernels for every 3 quarts of oil.
- Use fresh popcorn kernels. Old popcorn kernels are less likely to pop, so it's important to use fresh kernels whenever possible. You can find fresh popcorn kernels at most grocery stores.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough to pop the popcorn, but not so hot that it burns the popcorn.
- Add the popcorn kernels to the pot. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the popcorn kernels to the pot. Be sure to spread the kernels out in a single layer.
- Cover the pot and shake it frequently. Cover the pot with a lid and shake it frequently to distribute the heat evenly. This will help to prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Listen for the popping to slow down. Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. If you continue to heat the popcorn, it will start to burn.
- Pour the popcorn into a bowl. Once the popcorn has stopped popping, pour it into a large bowl. Season the popcorn with salt, butter, or other desired toppings.
