There's an even more accessible way to pop popcorn. Add oil to a pot, heat it on the stove and dump in some kernels. Optionally cover with a lid.

It's even better because you can pop in whatever fat you want. If you toss the salt in there while popping then it'll evenly distribute across your popcorn as well.

This is the way

That's how I did it for years . Turn the heat down when it starts popping and take it off the heat when it slows down.

That indeed is a functional method, but I'm not sure I'd call it more accessible. Unless you mean that more people probably own a pot than an appropriate microwave safe container, in which case, fair enough.
