    During the "lockdown" one of our local theaters kept their concession stand open for to-go orders, so that they could help their employees and stay open. We had a lot of fun grabbing popcorn and watching movies at home.

    Worked at a movie theatre for 10 years. The “secret ingredient” is Flavacol. It’s a butter flavored salt you add during the cooking process. Otherwise it’s just popcorn and coconut oil

    • @XeroCool420

      Its the coconut oil that gives the popcorn its theater crunch. Flavacol is actually just a flavor additive that doesn't even need to be added

    I found a tip on the internet last year (can't remember where) for popping popcorn which made my popcorn so much better. When you go to heat your oil or butter, put 3 kernels in with it. When they pop, the oil is the right temperature to add the rest of the kernels. They start popping pretty quickly when they go in at the right temperature, and most of the kernels pop without burning any.

    Using this method and others, the salt can really sneak up on you really fast. Remember, if it tastes ”just right” at the beginning, it’s probably a little too much… You have to get through the entire portion without getting burned out on the salt. I think it’s always better to err on the side of caution… You can always add more salt later but you can’t ever remove it.

    In my experience, boiling some butter with some garlic powder in the microwave gets rid of most of the water, and makes for a a good topping without making soggy popcorn. The garlic powder keeps the butter from splattering all over the microwave oven and of course, does flavour the butter. :)
    A mortar and pestle works well for grinding the salt, too.

    Josh, One tip for popping your corn. I use coconut oil, not butter (higher smoke point). Add your corn to the pot after heating the oil over MEDIUM heat. Gently shake until the first kernel pops then remove the pot from the heat. Let it rest for a minute or two while turning up the heat to high. Replace the pot and keep shaking it vigorously, the corn will pop very quickly once it starts. As soon as it stops, remove from heat and pour into bowl immediately. Your popcorn will be very crisp.

    • @hyrgulf1883
      @hyrgulf1883 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Clarified butter (what he made after removing the butter fats) smoke point is 450. Coconut oil generally is 350 or 400 if refined first.
      The rest of your tips are spot on (and coconut oil is perfectly good for pop corn regardless)

    One thing I do to make it even better is to use a grease splatter guard as the lid after the kernels start to pop. Note that at the movie theaters, the lid to the popcorn opens as the kernels start to come out. This releases the steam and makes for a more crunchy popcorn that lasts for days. Not as important, I add some coconut oil to what I pour over the kernels because I like the flavor and it seems to cause the ghee to coat the kernels instead of being absorbed into them (making them soggy). Without question, what you did in the video is spot on!

    • @DeborahHMarks
      @DeborahHMarks ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I wondered about the ghee. I've always found that most of the intense butter flavor seems to be in the milk solids that get strained out. Is that not the case? Can the water be evaporated without losing the milk solids?

    When making caramel corn, the choice of the type of popcorn to use is simple; yellow mushroom popcorn. It doesn't break as easily as a butterfly popcorn. But for the other two, a butterfly's flavor will enhance the overall experience. For either style, check out my favorite, The Amish Popcorn Company. Their purple and blue hulled are sweet and taste like corn on the cob when you add butter and salt. It's hands down better than anything you find in grocery stores.

  • @thepawnhits

    Some food is meant to be simple: this is one of them.
    At the two theaters I worked, they used coconut oil and Flavacol. The "butter" was butter-flavored soybean oil - better off just avoiding it. It doesn’t need butter if seasoned right. If the popcorn was dry or seems under-seasoned, it's not fresh. If the popcorn is bad, it’s because the theater is bad or inconsistent at making it. I'd also reconsider the turmeric. While it adds color, it also imparts flavor which makes it taste off IMO.
    You can apply the same stovetop method with coconut oil and Flavacol. They even sell stovetop poppers (Whirley-Pop) where you can control the ingredients and hand-crank the kernels without having to shake a heavy pot or pan. Might be worth it if popcorn is your jam.

      Flavacol is awesome. I got two quart containers full for under $10. I pop my kernels in a paper bag in the microwave (do NOT add fat to the bag - it will catch on fire). Once cooked, hit it with a bit of Spray oil - or even butter-flavored cooking spray - and a good sprinkle of Flavacol. It’s not a movie theatre copycat, but the entire process only takes 4 minutes and it kills a popcorn craving with no dishes to wash.

    did my own take of caramel popcorn, and yes i used the bag version. years ago, there used to be a store brand you could buy that came with a small caramel slab that you can put in the microwave with your already popped corn, and it'd coat everything. so i did something different
    during halloween (idk about the rest of the year) walmart had some caramel bites in a bag you could get for the kids. i put a handful into a candy pot with some milk and melted them down to a more liquid consistency. after that i just drizzled it into the bag popcorn and had a nice snack. next i wanna try it with some toffee flakes i got from work

  • @holden6104

    I just tried movie theatre popcorn again after not having it for 2 years due to the pandemic. There is no comparison that the theatre version is better, and I have a popcorn machine, Flavacol, and the right kind of oil at home. The difference is the kernel itself. No matter what brand I purchase, the kernels have a husk that is tough and chewy. Orville is notorious for this, while the cheap no name brand was actually much better. But the movie theatre version had ZERO HUSK. Every kernel crunches beautifully with no toughness whatsoever. I'm convinced that it's the brand of kernel they use, since I noticed a difference between Orville and no-name.
