That's exactly it. About two tablespoons of vegetable oil on high (actually found canola to taste better than olive, oddly) in a *large* pot, put fewer total kernels than you think you need in, put a lid on it, and, when it starts to pop, do the shakey-shakey with the container until the popping stops. Be prepared for small amounts of steam coming off the top. Very simple and quick.
