Doug from Remschneider Kettle Corn shows their process for making Chicago style cheese popcorn with high quality liquid cheese from Gold Medal. This method is the preferred method used by high end popcorn shops around the world.
The video description says he uses a liquid cheese mix from Gold Medal. They make a mix called Cheddar Easy, that you can buy in 30 pound buckets on Gold Medal's website, for a lot less than the $250 he quoted. It costs about half that much. They also make a powdered mix that you can add in to amp up the flavor. Also, a lot of popcorn shops use 4 cups per 8 gallon batch--3 cups of Cheddar Easy, 1 cup of melted butter and 1/2 cup of Gold Medal cheddar or other flavor powder (I like to use Ranch). Also, make sure to use mushroom popcorn because it doesn't break apart in the mixer like butterfly popcorn. If you buy from Gold Medal, they have a support number you can call for questions and they're very helpful.
@@roboslug7582 Cheddar easy is the cheapest sauce you can get. If you are using that many cups of cheddar easy you giving customers the bubble guts. Never heard of shops using melted butter and i have been in business for over 13 years here in Georgia.
@@localppc242 Good catch--I just looked at the instructions for my old machine and it was an 8-gallon pot, not a 5-gallon. The instruction manual that came with the pot say 3 cups of Cheddar Easy, plus 1 cup of butter, so at least I remembered the cheese mix recipe correctly. I haven't done carnivals for quite a while. So for a 5-gallon pot, it seems like that would be about 2 cups of cheese mix and 2/3 cup butterfat, plus 1/3-ish cup of flavor powder.
@@adamramadhian644 You just buy the liquid cheese mix. It's called Cheddar Easy. You can buy it in 30 pound buckets directly from Gold Medal or on Amazon, for about half the price he quoted in the video. I always mix 3 cups of Cheddar Easy with 1 cup of clarified butter (or butter flavored popcorn oil) and add that to the mixer. Then, when it comes out of the mixer, I shake about 1/2 a cup of Gold Medal Savory Shakes over the popcorn while I'm tossing it. I typically use Ranch flavor because it tastes great with cheese, but Bacon, Jalapeno, Garlic Parmesan or a bunch of other flavors would also taste great. Also, Gold Medal has a really good support line you can call if you have questions about how to use their products. They're really helpful and responsive.
