The best Popped Popcorn: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

So movie theaters haven't used butter for a LONG time. They use butter flavored OIL because you don't have to refrigerate oil.

The best way to make movie theater popcorn is to

Cook it over the stove with corn oil. (any oil will do but the popcorn tends to taste like w/e oil you use so corn is my go to. Other oils can be amazing too!)

As for butter, I would imagine this is pretty close (https://www.amazon.com/Buttery-Flavor-Popcorn-Topping-Gallon/dp/B0785827P1/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=movie+theater+butter&qid=1627448354&sr=8-3)

Or you can make some clarified butter, I hear that works well!

Muito comum nós Estados Unidos . Até vendem específicos para pipoca . Geralmente estrangeiros preferem manteiga na pipoca . https://www.amazon.com/Kernel-Seasons-Popcorn-Flavors-Variety/dp/B079S3X9G2

pork rinds. i'm not kidding. nice and crunchy. i havent found great flavors at the store. mostly regular or spicy. but a few weeks back i realized something nice. get plain pork rinds, then sprinkle on what ever popcorn flavoring you want.

this kind of stuff

i've previously tried lots of flavors. the only ones i remember liking where basic cheese ones. ranch, sour cream and onion, and white cheddar were the best ones. the rest of the flavors seemed fake/funny.

while microwave pork rinds (you can get some on amazon) are best, a big bag or tub of store bought ones are fine.

otherwise celery in ranch was pretty good at being crunchy.

I think you’d like this birthday cake popcorn. It’s perfect for a birthday bash!

Popcorrrrrrnnnn makes me happyyyyy. Popcornnn in my mouth makes me smiiiiiile.

I usually use this brand of flavoring to sprinkle on top fresh out of the microwave. Since it is so fine of a powder, it usually has an easier time sticking to the popcorn.

I have also managed to get regular salt to stick by putting the salt in a food processor so it's a fine powder instead of larger granules. Other than that, sometimes I cheat and give it a little spray of cooking oil before sprinkling the flavoring on top.

Not sure if this is the exact one they use, but looks promising: butter grease

Just use the pump it comes with to shoot it straight into your mouth. Who needs all that extemporaneous "food" when you can just have butter product?!

Amazon has 4oz pouches.

Lol yes. It’s a puffed cheese snack. These are the ones she specifically loves:

The amazon picture of them shows them mixed with cereal. Is that normal?

I should try this! It's in a cooking spray can, so it might be audible. I'll have to pay attention next time I make popcorn to how noisy it is!

I get mine from Amazon. I think it's just butter flavored canola oil, but I don't put on a ton when I'm at home so I'm ok with it :)

Easier and more authentic solution. Google "popcorn butter topping" The stuff at the movie theater isn't butter it's a flavored oil, half the time it's the same stuff they use in the popper. It's liquid at room temperature (some are semi solid at room temp). There is everything from name brand stuff to the generic stuff for pretty cheap online including amazon. It may be some extra shipping but someone will ship it to Poland. No lighter necessary. ;)

Just an example. They sell smaller sizes. http://www.amazon.com/Wabash-Valley-Farms-Flavored-Popcorn/dp/B000UZLQG2

Well of course you gotta stick to a single serving and not eat the whole bag. ;) One ounce. I weigh it out. But each piece is so light and fluffy, that one ounce amounts to a lot visually (which makes it seem more like a treat than it actually is.)

For those who don't like weighing it out, they make snack-size, single serving bags as well.

Butter Flavored Popcorn Topping by Wabash Valley Farms

An interesting comment in the product reviews

>I've done a lot of research and I've tried a lot of products. This is it. I have a friend that owns a movie theater and he told me this is what is used. There are slight variations in theaters across the nation but this is the product used. He said they do not use real butter because it melts down the popcorn when it is hot. Real butter also tastes funny, yes, it's true. He said the theater tried it for a month and customers would come back complaining that the butter tasted funny and get a refund. The topping is the way to go.

>Trade secret number #2: Flavorcol. You won't get that salty seasoned flavor from this topping alone. Nor from a combination of this topping and salt. Flavorcol is a salt seasoning that is put in the mix while popping. Get it use it.

>Oh yeah, there's a 3rd secret too: Use red coconut oil. It's similar to what McDonald's uses. Pay attention to how similar the smell of the nuggets frying and popcorn is. That smell in the movie theater is actually the coconut oil frying.
