I recently perfected my setup for movie theater popcorn. The prices I mentioned are what I paid at Smart & Final, it's kind of like a Costco but you don't need a membership, they are only in and around California though. Although, mushroom popcorn doesn't work as great for butter popcorn imo, the little shells pieces that stick around once popped can be tougher, to each their own though. Bonus tip, you can buy specific popcorn kernels that are used for carmel and kettle corn that you buy at state fairs that are round, it's called Mushroom popcorn, vs the standard butterfly style popcorn you get from microwaved popcorn. ~ $13 for a gallon of coconut oil, ~$3 for a carton of flavacol (only buy one, they last forever) and then ~$5 for kernels and you will have great popcorn for a year. There are a ton of youtube videos on how to do it. Heat up a large pot, put in some coconut oil (preferably the kind specifically made for popcorn) and add the kernels and some flavacol. You need to buy this stuff called Flavacol, it's a highly condensed salt with that distinct "movie theater popcorn" flavor and coloring added to it. No microwaved popcorn will ever get that same taste. The popcorn flavor/smell from the movies or amusement parks can actually be done from home. it’s pretty salty stuff and you can always add more after cook Long story short 1 cup of oil to 1 cup of kernels and maybe a tablespoon of salt. I have tried putting different seasonings like ‘slap ya mama’ and a local ‘garlic butter’ instead of the popcorn salt but it’s not really too noticeable. I normally make like four gallon bags at a time and they will last at least a week. My popcorn tastes awesome as is but I really do feel that will step it up a notch.Īlso Walmart had this nacho cheddar seasoning that is pretty amazing also that goes on after. I just have the Walmart kind of popcorn salt but they say to use flavacol and I will definitely be getting that when I run out. )Īnd don’t forget the popcorn salt I’ve never actually measured that but I’d say it’s a spoon full. ( you can do a full cup but you’ll lose some during popping. Yeah I do 1 cup of oil to almost a full cup of kernels.
