Notes
To pop on the stove, heat 3 tablespoons oil and 1/2 cup kernels in a large covered pot over medium-high heat, shaking now and then, until the popping slows to a few seconds apart. Toss the hot popcorn with a little melted butter, then sprinkle on the seasoning. Use shelf-stable shaker Parmesan, not fresh shredded cheese, so the gift keeps at room temperature. Popcorn is a choking hazard for children under 4.
