Add 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 tablespoons of kernels to the popcorn maker, hold it over the campfire, and wait for the oil to sizzle. Shake the popper over the flames and listen for the popping sounds. Keep shaking until the popping slows down, then remove it from the fire. Carefully open and enjoy. Caution: This is not a toy.
