Popcorn Poppers

I have come to the conclusion that I LOVE popcorn poppers. Although the popper itself will run you anywhere from $20-$40 (Bed Bath and Beyond's were at $20, while WalMart was at $30), popcorn seeds themselves are really cheap... Like a couple bucks for a bag.  And the bag will last you a very long time.  Also, I think it goes without saying that the taste difference between microwave popcorn and homemade is incredible.
Here's the recipe for popcorn using one of these poppers.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• Salt
• 2 tbsp butter

Directions (The popper should come with these, but I'll give it to you anyway)

1. Pour the vegetable oil into the popper, along with the kernels.
2. Turn your stove on medium heat, and begin turning the handle immediately.
3. After a few minutes, the kernels will begin to pop. 
4. Continue turning until the handle becomes hard to turn.
5. Remove the popper from the heat, and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
6. Take 2 tbsp of butter and melt it in the microwave.
7. Pour it over the popcorn while stirring with a large spoon.
8. Then add salt--as much as you want.
