Place the lid on the pan. When those first kernels pop, the oil is ready for you to add the rest.
Wearing your oven mitts move the pot around by lifting it off the direct heat and by making back and forth motions so that the kernels keep moving until you have popped the entire pan.
Once the popping slows to 3-4 over few second you can turn off the heat and let it sit for another minute. Carefully lift the lid
