This is like finding out the Krabby Patty secret formula thanks for the video

cineplex employee here. we use a brand called ‘pop weaver’ for the kernels, flavacol for the salt and canadian canola oil for the oil :)

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!

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’ve been looking for something like this thank you so much!!!

This worked almost to perfection! Thank you so much for sharing the secrets of the theatre!

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!

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

Great info. And thanks for the links, learned a lot for our show, thanks!

Great proportioned ingredients and method! Got some of the buttery coconut oil and it worked perfectly! Thanks!

Happy you made this video thanks!

This is helpful! I will order these to up my popcorn game. 😊

This is great! I can't wait to try this!

I just set up my son's old room as a theatre and I was looking for a popcorn machine. Thank you!

this looks so great and easy. Definitely gonna make this on my familys next move night!

Thank you so much for this video! I certainly know my next popcorn recipe for a movie 😁😁🍿🍿

Followed your suggestions and my popcorn came out delicious! Everyone said it tasted just like the movie theatre popcorn! Thanks for sharing and creating this video!!!

I would really really love to see your movie space!! The rest of your home is so beautiful!

Definitely trying it!

Thank you so much for putting this video together. Thumbs up from me. 👍

I love popcorn, thanks for making an awesome video.

Tastiest tutorial ever!

Yeaaaahhh!! Thanks amigo!! 👍🏾

Worked perfectly! The only thing I will add is to allow it to warm up for about 3-5 minutes first!

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 :)

I want one of these popcorn machines!

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.

This is really awesome thanks! I'm gonna have to buy some new stuff 😆

Looks fantastic. Fantastic video. Love from Australia

love the video now you make me want some popcorn :)

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.

Thanks for sharing. I was looking at getting the same exact items from amazon. :)

You made a very helpful video

thank you

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.

Nice. Thanks

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.

I just know her movie nights are 10/10

Making list for myself! 2 tablespoons of coconut butter 1/4 teaspoon of flavacol Half cup of popcorn kennels

Thank youuuuuu so muchhhhhh

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 you

Thank You

This is so awesome. Thanks a lot. I ate fine popcorn at home, but never as in theatre.

Appreciate it

I suffered watching this because I wanted some SO BADLYYY. thanks for the upload

Back in the day. Da old dealership my pops worked at. They had a popcorn machine in da showroom ❤

Wow 😲

fun!🙂

Thanx

Thanks so much for your recipe! How many 1oz popcorn bags will 1/2 cup of kernals make?

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 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.

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.

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?

Worked at an AMC. Can confirm. Except we used canola oil.

Yummy!! Did you also get the butter flavoring from Amazon? The one you showed last. It was what you said the movie theaters used.

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.

So do you add 1/4 cup or half a cup of popping corn? Website says 1/4 and video says 1/2 cup

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)

Do you refrigerate your popcorn butter oil or just put it in the pantry?

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?

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.

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

Just need a massive popcorn maker!

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 :(

Can i melt the cocunut oil in the popcorn machine? Thanks for your vid by the way!

How would u recommend adding the butter also do u think the 8oz machine is too large for a family of 3?

Thanks for video I live in uk it's hard to get buttery coconut oil not been able to get from amazon

do u dumo everything in the popper at the same time? I'm getting ready to order machine and ingredients on amazon.

Can you do a kettle corn video?

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!

*does it make it taste like hint of coconut or like real AMC style or movie theater butter?* *Thnx*

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.

I'm ordering the 10oz kettle. Do I double the recipe to make a full cup of kernals? 8oz instead of 4 oz ?

Is it better to buy regular coconut oil or the flavoured if I’m buying flavacol already?

Will this work in a microwave popcorn container I have which has a lid and pops the corn. In the microwave?

is the kettles really that important? kettle corn is all the same no? it looks the same to me...someone answer me

I want some

What brand coconut oil butter do you use?

Can I still use this method on the stove in a pot?

My kettle is 12/14oz. Which is a little larger than yours. Would you increase the measurement of the ingredients?

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.

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

How would you do sweet popcorn?

How often do you reccomend cleaning your machine?

How do I get this popcorn machine? I want to buy it

Hi! Which brand is that machine? Regards

In that type of popper it will not cause problems or burn if you put it in right away because of the lid

What size are the popcorn bags?

Yup pulling mines out the basement tooonight!!!

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?

Nice... but does it taste well without sugar

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? 🍿

Does it taste like the theaters

I just bought a popcorn machine. We have a problem with stale popcorn. It never fails. Any tips and tricks? Im trying to get the popcorn just right for our bible study movie night for the kids. Thanks for this tutorial!

It's more about the ingredients than the popcorn machine for that movie theater yellow salted buttery flavor.

Is that an 8 oz for kettle?

huh- never realized i do exactly what the theaters do already. though- i use the Amish Country brand rather than Flavacol, it's still the same process. i also use *more* of it than theaters do apparently
