This is a link to my blog post about making theater style popcorn happyhautehome.com/2020/01/23/how-to-make-authentic-movie-theater-popcorn/
@Izard warrior From amazon, I included the link above if you are interested.
Thanks so much for sharing all 3 products. We are trying to pick out a machine that "blows air" from the bottom to remove those pesky sharp tiny bits that get stuck in your throat. I really do have a hard time eating popcorn bc of it. Do you know of a machine that blows it around to remove those bits. Thank you so much. 😊🍿
@@warmlantern0000 Hi Melini, this popcorn maker uses hot air so it may work for you. amzn.to/3bbDItA
@@HappyHauteHome thank you so much
How long for butter to melt
This is like finding out the Krabby Patty secret formula thanks for the video
LOL, I like your analogy :) Glad you like the video too.
@@HappyHauteHome I Have Popcorn
Lmao 🤣
Lol😂
So glad I grew up on Looney Tunes instead of asinine stuff like SBSP.
cineplex employee here. we use a brand called ‘pop weaver’ for the kernels, flavacol for the salt and canadian canola oil for the oil :)
Thanks for sharing!
What brand of butter does Cineplex use?
@@eggchen10 lactantia clarified butter!
How would you add butter to this
@@s.i2898 melt some butter in the microwave then just drizzle it on top of the popcorn :)
I bought one of these machines at a garage sale today! I'm excited to try it! I'm a 60 y/o kid lol.😁 Thanks for your video!
Wonderful! You will love it and it makes great popcorn
60 YEAR OLD???
You just made my quarantine movie nights so much better ! Thank you ! Had to go take bags to my family because everyone has missed true theater popcorn.
I'm so happy to hear that, thank you for leaving a comment!
Perfect time to do this especially during the time of quarantine. I know people are probably missing movie theater popcorn. I had a popcorn maker but saw this kind of maker at my job (I work at Amazon) and wanted this kind. Just bought a buttered flavored coconut oil and flavacol. Cant wait to used them this Friday for movie night. Thanks for the video
So glad you enjoyed the video. The popcorn is delicious and I'm sure you will enjoy the experience of the popcorn machine too! Thank you for commenting
I have a table top one like that!!! Looove it and have been waiting for this video. Love movie theater popcorn!! Thank you! All I need now is my buttery coconut oil!
Oh good! You will love the buttery oil, combined with the other ingredients...best movie popcorn ever!
This worked almost to perfection! Thank you so much for sharing the secrets of the theatre!
Glad to hear! Practice makes perfect...keep popping that popcorn!
I’ve been looking for something like this thank you so much!!!
You are very welcome! Thank you for commenting :)
I just set up my son's old room as a theatre and I was looking for a popcorn machine. Thank you!
You are very welcome! What a great use of a room, I bet you will enjoy it for many years to come!

I would really really love to see your movie space!! The rest of your home is so beautiful!
Hi Emily, I will do a tour of the theater, thanks for the reminder.
@@HappyHauteHome I don't see that tour video in your videos list. Have you done it yet? I'd love to see it. We are planning on setting up a theater in our home, and love seeing what people have done.
@@ILoveFilm247 Hi, not I have no done it yet. Sorry, hope to soon!
I just bought an ingredient kit similar to this yesterday. Thank you for mentioning the leveling amounts of each item. I make great popcorn with the basics, but this is my first venture into homemade theater style. Very informative. I hear the Flavacol is very potent. Thank you for this video.
You are very welcome! Yes it is, in my opinion less is more :)
Thank you so much for this video! I certainly know my next popcorn recipe for a movie 😁😁🍿🍿
You are very welcome! Glad you find it helpful!
This is helpful! I will order these to up my popcorn game. 😊
You will be hooked! Enjoy!
This is great! I can't wait to try this!

Tastiest tutorial ever!
I'm so glad you think so! Have a wonderful day!
Happy you made this video thanks!
You are very welcome
I love popcorn, thanks for making an awesome video.
You are so welcome, thanks for watching!
Worked perfectly! The only thing I will add is to allow it to warm up for about 3-5 minutes first!
Yes! Should have added that for clarity. Thanks
Definitely trying it!
So glad to hear that! Enjoy! LMK what you think.
Thank you so much for putting this video together. Thumbs up from me. 👍
Thank you Frankie! Appreciate that!
Oh yeah! I love popcorn; I make popcorn almost every day 😅 I got a similar popcorn maker from Target without the stand. 👍🏽 I will try coconut oil 🤗 tfs.
Hi Mary! I can't wait to hear what you think...please report back!
I just know her movie nights are 10/10
We love the space and enjoy family movies in the theatre often!
Thank you for this! 100% to the point with no fluff. Exacrly what youd get searching for this topic. Good info. I have what i need to make a happy wife now :)
What a sweet comment, thank you Jason! I hope you and your wife love the popcorn!
Thanks for sharing. I was looking at getting the same exact items from amazon. :)
They make all the difference!
They are not on Amazon. They are in sams club if you want em
@@kamalakhan3618 maybe he or she meant at the actual store you
@@kamalakhan3618 you can buy or get them but I’m not sure
Yes. I had this same popcorn machine on our farm growing up haha. I absolutely loved that little wonder of the world. Makes for some good healthy kernels.
Isn't it the best? We love ours too!
I want one of these popcorn machines!
You should get one! We loved ours.
Looks fantastic.
Fantastic video.
Love from Australia
Thank you! Cheers!
Tasmania in fact@@HappyHauteHome
Nice. Thanks
You are very welcome!

You made a very helpful video
So glad it helped you, thank you for commenting.
love the video now you make me want some popcorn :)
Glad you like it! We love the machine and love the popcorn!
Yeaaaahhh!! Thanks amigo!! 👍🏾
You are very welcome
Just tried out my new vevor popcorn machine after watching your video,and besides me adding just a little too much salt,it turned out great for being the first time.
Glad to hear that! Yes salt is dependent on taste, more or less but glad you found this video!
Making list for myself!
2 tablespoons of coconut butter
1/4 teaspoon of flavacol
Half cup of popcorn kennels
You got it!
I suffered watching this because I wanted some SO BADLYYY. thanks for the upload
It is soo good, especially with the secret ingredient added! Just like the real deal :)
Thanks you
You are very welcome
Thank You
You are very welcome, glad you found the video informative.
Great video, and excellent information. This must be a 4 ounce popcorn popper, since ½ cup of raw popcorn went into the kettle. The nice lady hosting this video is 100 percent correct on how to use a popcorn popper of this size. My popcorn popper is an 8 ounce, and I use 1 cup popcorn, ⅓ cup oil, and 1 teaspoon of FLAVACOL popcorn seasoning per batch. One very important thing to remember is to NEVER double the amount of raw popcorn and oil, nor should you cut the amounts in half; the popcorn popper is specifically designed to work its very best when you use the recommended amounts of raw popcorn seeds, oil, and flavoring, if any. Most people don't know this about popcorn equipment like in this video. In such cases, read the instructions that came with the popper, or get instruction from someone that knows how to properly and safely use the popcorn equipment. It's very simple to make great popcorn in any size kettle, just be sure you know the poppers kettle capacity. For example, in a 24 ounce popcorn popper, use 3 cups of raw popcorn, 1 cup popping oil, and 1 heaping tablespoon of FLAVACOL popcorn seasoning per batch. This is the same ratio, proportion, or percentage of popping oil and FLAVACOL sesasoning as was used in this video.
Thanks for the tips!
@@HappyHauteHome Your video is very good and has correct and useful information. Happy Halloween.
Thanks so much for your recipe! How many 1oz popcorn bags will 1/2 cup of kernals make?
You are so welcome. The batch will yield fewer than 10 bags is my guess.
I want to try this on a camp fire or similar outdoor activity...I have seen the actual main ingredients like you have shown...but have you, might I ask, actually done this on a pot and on top of the stove to see if it still works...or is there an advantage of an actual popcorn pot...like yours here that makes the difference? I'm serious here because I cook on a campfire type of outdoors cooking station...and am a serious inquirer...lol.
Hi, no I have not tried the recipe on a stove or campfire. But I would think that if you use the same ingredients, the popcorn would come out similar in taste. If I were you, I would try it on the stove first then a campfire. Let me know if it works!
@@HappyHauteHome As soon as I get the ingredients...you will bet for sure I am gonna try it...lol. Welcome to You Tube and our Community...
@@ManLand Thank you so much! Very happy to be here.
My screen is hard to see, what brand and size is this popper? Do you like it or would you get a different size? It is just my husband and I, so I’m not sure if we need the 2.5 or 4 oz. (when we eat popcorn we eat two microwave bags worth)
This is a Waring Pro. You can get a less expensive one in the link I attached, it's a generic brand but looks just as nice. It pops 6 ounces of popcorn and can make 2 gallons per batch. Plenty for 2 people.
This is so awesome. Thanks a lot. I ate fine popcorn at home, but never as in theatre.
You are very welcome, glad you are enjoying this new discovery!
@@HappyHauteHomeHello. Thanks for yo ur reply. You convinced me. Last evening I've ordered the ingredients you mentioned. For the coconut oil,I took the Amish one. I will tell about the result. I will be using a Creuset type of cooking potato make the popcorn since I don't think I will get a circus/theater type of popcorn machine like the one you have. They simply take too much space. Thanks a lot again.
@@8bittimetraveler834 Hope it works!
@@HappyHauteHome Dang! You bet it works. I recieved the stuff today,and I just made the best popcorn I ever made at home. Much better than the one in sachet. That orange popcorn powder really a magic trick. So glad I found your video. You were right, it's not a clickbait.
With a creuset, the trick is to set the heat to minimum when the kernels start to blow. Otherwise it will burn.
@@8bittimetraveler834 Good to know thank you for the tip. So glad you are enjoying your popcorn with the secret ingredient!
Thanx
No problem
Do you refrigerate your popcorn butter oil or just put it in the pantry?
Great question, I just put it in the pantry.
My favorite alltime popcorn machine! Where can I purchase one of these and how much do they cost approximately? Can you use either margarine or regular butter instead of that coconut oil that you demonstrated if preferred? If so, will it have that same traditional buttery taste?
Hi Ken, these machines are the best. Ours is many years old and still going strong. I have one linked in the description above. Machine and cart for under $300!
Back in the day. Da old dealership my pops worked at. They had a popcorn machine in da showroom ❤
I bet it was used a lot. Who doesn't love popcorn?!
Thank youuuuuu so muchhhhhh
You are very welcome!
Wow! Brilliant, I am about to set up a popcorn stand. Just got a name and already ordered a popcorn machine. I am in Abuja, I would humbly need your expertise ma, please 🙏
I'm glad you found the video helpful. Enjoy your new machine and delicious popcorn!
Since you have had it a while, whats cleanup like on them. If your going to eat it regularly is it like once a week or do you have to do it everyday?
We go thru periods of using the machine a lot, then not using it.During the periods of heavy use, I do not clean it each time and it's fine. I clean it when I know we won't be using it for a while. A good clean up can be time consuming..hence it's not done each time ;)
from the looks of it...never. 🤣
Appreciate it
Glad you found it useful!
Yummy!! Did you also get the butter flavoring from Amazon? The one you showed last. It was what you said the movie theaters used.
Yes we get all our supplies for popcorn from Amazon!
@@HappyHauteHome you are lying little kid. You got em at Sams Club stores
@@kamalakhan3618 Um no...I'm not a member of Sams Club but wonderful if you found it there.
@@HappyHauteHome oh you are a member of Sams Club you liar little kid
What brand coconut oil butter do you use?
Hi Mary, there is a link to the coconut oil I used right above.
Wow 😲
Glad you like it!
Can i melt the cocunut oil in the popcorn machine?
Thanks for your vid by the way!
Yes you can!
Thanks I subscribed
Is the ratio 2 table spoons of the oil to 1/2 cup kernels or 1/4 cup kernels? The blog says 1/4 but I believe the video said 1/2. Thank you!
Hi Ryan, I suggest the ratio of 1/2 cups kernels to 2 tablespoons oil. Thanks for stopping in
@@HappyHauteHome thank you!!
How would u recommend adding the butter also do u think the 8oz machine is too large for a family of 3?
I think 8 oz works perfectly for a family of 3. I would add the butter to the popcorn after it's been popped and the serving container.
Do u men d butter oil
@@amaraford2248 Yes
do u dumo everything in the popper at the same time? I'm getting ready to order machine and ingredients on amazon.
No, put the oil in first and wait for it to heat up. I go over all that in the video.
So do you add 1/4 cup or half a cup of popping corn? Website says 1/4 and video says 1/2 cup
Use 1/2 cup. What the video says.
Thanks for video I live in uk it's hard to get buttery coconut oil not been able to get from amazon
Hi David, that's too bad! Have you tried your local grocery store, maybe they have something similar.
@@HappyHauteHome thanks for replying to my message I love you guys for your videos on making popcorn my friend managed to get me the coconut oil I can't wait to get my popping machine. I wish I had a home theater that's next on my birthday list 😁👍
@@davidharrison9111 That's wonderful news David! You must be so excited! Not gonna lie, having a theater is super fun and cool. We use it a lot! The kids play games with their friend, my husband loves it for fight night and it's a great spot for family movies too.
Can I still use this method on the stove in a pot?
I haven't tried it on the stove but yes I would imagine so.
Worked at an AMC. Can confirm. Except we used canola oil.
Thanks Sean, I took the recipe to the next level ;)
What size are the popcorn bags?
Not sure exactly but they are fairly small.
Hi!
Which brand is that machine? Regards
Hi, I have a Waring but it has become quite expensive. I linked a less expensive option in my notes up top. thanks for stopping by.
I worked at theaters in the 80's to the late 90's and I do remember the coconut oil being orange. The way I make my own is to mix 15g of virgin cold pressed red fruit palm oil (which gives it the beta carotene color) with 40g of virgin cold pressed coconut oil. The salt can be done much cheaper if you just take regular salt and run it in a spice or coffee grinder. It's the same process used to make flavacol. Or you can use the "extra fine" powdered salt from Kroger/Ralphs from their "private collection" brand, which sticks to the popcorn pretty much the same way. I find this to be much more like movie popcorn back in the day before they switched their methods in the early 2000's to be more "healthy." I was unaware of this buttery coconut oil. I might give that a try. Thanks.
Thanks for the tip!
I'm ordering the 10oz kettle. Do I double the recipe to make a full cup of kernals? 8oz instead of 4 oz ?
The first time you do it, try it with the 4oz recipe and see how it turns out. When you are comfortable with the process then you can adjust to your size kettle.
@@HappyHauteHome Thx. I'm going to make a note of your recipe and use the 1/2 c popcorn. I will adjust according to the number of people eating it at my house. lol
Hello, I bought the Betty Crocker movie nite popcorn maker. Really nice looking. I followed your instructions, I got the butter and salt. Taste is amazing, taste like movie theater you were right. However I’m having issue with the machine itself. I put just a small spoon (the one that come with the machine) of kernel. The popcorn pop but after few seconds popcorn get jammed in the kettle… and start burning so I have to turn off the machine. Did you ever got that problem with your machine? It’s pretty annoying cause the taste is amazing. But I can’t never make a large sac of popcorn for that reason :(
Hi Steve, no I haven't had that problem. Did you put oil in the kettle first and let it heat up? Not sure about the jamming issue... Glad you like the recipe! Thanks for watching.
Hi, yea I really followed same steps, about 2 spoon of oil, waited about few sec then put kernel. Really odd. I can’t imagine if I would put more kernels lolll anyway thanks a lot for your reply ;)
If not too late, maybe you can return? @@stevecroisetiere4609
*does it make it taste like hint of coconut or like real AMC style or movie theater butter?* *Thnx*
No coconut taste, just authentic movie theater popcorn.
How would you do sweet popcorn?
Hi, I would use one of the seasoning jars like caramel corn to sweeten the popcorn.
Is it better to buy regular coconut oil or the flavoured if I’m buying flavacol already?
You want the one colored with beta carotene, I have a link to it above.
@@HappyHauteHome Thank you! Normal coconut oil was good but never hit the spot fully
Will this work in a microwave popcorn container I have which has a lid and pops the corn. In the microwave?
The popcorn may not taste like theater popcorn using a microwave method, but if that's not a concern I would give it a try, Let me know how it turns out.
@@HappyHauteHomeYeah I’m aiming for cinema Popcorn taste, will let you know cheers
Just need a massive popcorn maker!
That way you can enjoy a massive amount of popcorn too!
My kettle is 12/14oz. Which is a little larger than yours. Would you increase the measurement of the ingredients?
Probably so if you want to make a bigger batch.
fun!🙂
Glad you like it!
Why is it that when I pop popcorn in the machine it comes out tasting stale. And I just bought the kernels too. Could it be that the popcorn has been sitting on the shelf too long?? Thanks for the video btw.
You'r welcome! That is possible. Did you check the use by date on the popcorn container?
Have you ever tried popping the corn using only the at the movies pop corn brand topping oil that you show in your video? I know people who claim that using only that oil the popcorn has an incredible flavor, even better than using coconut oil, and it makes sense to me, since that topping oil also has beta carotene to give it color and flavor on its own.
Good idea, I'll have to try that.
@@HappyHauteHome Please try it and tell me the results or make a new video doing it, I don't live in North America, but in my country we have Cinemark, and the popcorn there is extremely addictive, it's my favorite, of course they use flavacol, but I don't think so that is the only key to its flavor, I am sure they not use coconut oil, I have been trying to recreate that flavor since 2019, I have used different brands of butter flavored coconut oil, including the one you have in your video dutchman's and of course the great flavacol and yes, the popcorn tastes good but not as good as cinemark, i don't know exactly what oil they use there, i also tried the butter flavored canola oil and it was the worst thing that I have tried in my life, I begin to suspect that they use the topping oil both to pop the popcorn and to have that special flavor together with flavacol of course.
Great Northern sells what they call tri-packs that includes buttery oil, kernels and Flavacol. Although considering the cost I imagine this may be cheaper. A big carton of Flavacol is like $10.00
Yes could be, haven't done the math, but always nice to have options.
great video and thanks for making it but are you sure that was only 1/4 a tsp of the salt? That just looks more like a 1/2 tsp. Just want to be sure before I do this because once its in there its too late....Thankyou
In the video I used 1/4 tsp but I have also put in as much as 1 full teaspoon for added flavor, so you can adjust as necessary for your taste but if you're worried I would start with 1/4 tsp.
thankyou
@@HappyHauteHome
Is it the same amount of the ingredients for each 1 half cup of Kernels? And if so, can you double the amount in the hot pot so you can get twice as much popcorn? 🍿
Yes, you can double the ingredients to get twice as much.
Nice... but does it taste well without sugar
It tastes perfect! If you like sugar in your popcorn, check out my kettle corn video!
In that type of popper it will not cause problems or burn if you put it in right away because of the lid
thank you
How often do you reccomend cleaning your machine?
If I use the machine sparingly, I clean it after each use. When I use it more often, I clean is less...if that makes sense.
Happy Haute Home I’m. I think it does. lol
How do I get this popcorn machine? I want to buy it
Check out the link in the description of this video.
Does it taste like the theaters
It certainly does, but you should try it for yourself and judge.
Is that an 8 oz for kettle?
Yes it is
I do it your way with the same incredients. But if i do the first 250gr. the taste is nearly perfect but the pops are not gold/yellow. The second portion the color of the pops is like yours. What I´m doing wrong?
Are you using the beta carotene? Are you letting the kettle heat up? They should be the same if you are following the procedures.
Yes for sure. Heating it up about 5-10‘ with the coconut fat with carotine. After this I add the flavacol and put in the corns.
@@maluc Perhaps its the type of popcorn you are using. Best to use high quality popcorn for the best results.
I let mine sit in the machine with the heating elements for 20-30 minutes, minimum. Much more crunchy. When I didn't have a popper, I'd stick them in the oven at 200 degrees.
Thanks for the tips
How much is that machine? Thank you
The machine and the cart together are less than $300. Thanks for watching!
Ma'am plz can you NAME ALL THE PRODUCTS YOU USED HERE. TY
Yes, they are all linked above!
Can you do a kettle corn video?
That's a great idea. I'll see what I can do!
I want some
So easy to make and super delicious too
The Flavacol is the real secret ingredient. Theatres don't typically use coconut oil, however, because it's too expense. Peanut and canola are more common, although coconut is probably the healthy choice. At home, I've used olive oil, too, but coconut pops better. Where theatre popcorn is especially unhealthy, however, is the "butter flavored" OIL they use for topping. Bad stuff. Good quality kernels, the correct measurement of oil and salt, and proper temperatures and timing can give you BETTER popcorn than what you get at theatres.
Absolutely! Good quality popcorn is essential for this recipe and of course the salt!
is the kettles really that important? kettle corn is all the same no? it looks the same to me...someone answer me
The kettle (pot that the popcorn is cooked in) should be appropriately sized for your batch. The type of popcorn you use can affect the taste of your batch yes. Kettle corn is a different flavor of popcorn and a different recipe. If you are interested in that recipe, check out my kettle corn video. Hope that helps.
Yup pulling mines out the basement tooonight!!!
You won't regret it :)
Is this sweet or salt popcorn?
This is salt popcorn. If you are looking for sweet, such as Kettle popcorn, check out my other video on Kettle Corn
