4. Once you hear the popping sound, reduce the heat to low and continue shaking the pot every few seconds until the popping slows down.

6. Carefully remove the lid, drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn, and sprinkle with salt.
7. Toss the popcorn gently to evenly distribute the butter and salt.
8. Transfer the popcorn to a serving bowl and enjoy while it's still warm.
