Cool idea, thanks for the tip🧂🧈🍿🧈🧂!!! Love me some Movie theater Popcorn 🤗

Mine is coming Thursday. I am so excited.

I’ve been making popcorn 🍿 like that for 25 years and everybody wants it 🤗 good video!

Nice video!!! Thanks

Worked a few summers at a theater back in the 80s... That is very much how we made popcorn every day. Ingredients are very much the same as well.

Loved the video. Very informational and entertaining!

Great video sir thank you

You made a very helpful video

I warm up the coconut oil and pour it into ice cube trays and add the salt to each one. I put them into the freezer until solid then I dump them out into a ziplock bag and keep them in the freezer. Very convenient and consistent.

Love this dig your popcorn 🍿 machine 👍😎🤙🏽

Thanks for sharing😁

This is truly the only best effective way to make at home movie theater popcorn 🍿 thank you for the video. I wish I can own this machine one day as well :)

Great video

Great work! Gave you a like and sub! If its not to much to ask, Can you do a video on cleaning your machine?

Great content, thank you!!! I just don't understand why anyone would give this a thumbs down is beyond me!!

I'm trying to get the Flavacol here in Asia but looks like it's very expensive. I will try harder. Thank you for the tip!

Just bought me a stove top popper, Flavacol, oil & buttery topping during shut down ......off to pop me some popcorn.

You might be the coolest dude on the internet…

Our popcorn is always chewy after we pop it. Any suggestions? Thank you for this tutorial by the way!!! Very helpful!

Great video. The popcorn looks great. I want to know can u come to my house to show me how it’s really done.😀

A few years ago I used to work at a movie theater and the amount of oil used to pop a batch was predetermined and controlled by a button. Occasionally I'd hit the button twice to add extra oil, personally to me it made the popcorn taste even better. So one night I figured "well shit, if pressing it twice makes the popcorn taste even better why not press it 3 times?". Needless to say I burned the entire batch and spent the next hour scraping and cleaning it out lol. Our poppers were huge and would pop about 4-5 times the amount of seed as this popper at a time so my manager wasn't too happy an entire batch went down the shitter.

I make this the exact same way at home in my popcorn machine it is delicious but I swear its a different delicious than movie theater popcorn, I don't know if I do something wrong or what.I can't get that theater or carnival taste

Oh Geez.. you warned Me...haha

EXCELLENT VIDEO... Question: The Popcorn is not in your description box... Where can we buy that? Thank you so much for sharing this great video.

A correction: Gold Medal Products does not make "Gold Medal Flour." "Gold Medal Flour" is a brand of General Mills. Gold Medal Products, the makers of Flavacol and other concessions supplies, is a separate and unrelated company.

This Flavacol stuff is some real magic. I can't get my hands on the other oil stuff here in Sweden but just using regular butter combined with the flavacol on the stove is so freaking good!

Followed your directions used coconut oil from Costco. The wife said are you trying to kill us? I can smell the coconut oil from the living room so heavenly. The family loved my popcorn too bad they don't sell this at the movie theaters anymore health nut killjoys.. It's all about the coconut oil 😉

Hi, thanks for the video! Do you happen to have an idea as to how much by measure the 2 scoops pf popcorn is? 1 cup or what by measure for a full batch? Thanks!

Everyone knows that the secret to movie theater popcorn is that scary orange goo.

You. Are great popcorn and I can’t eat it because The severe choking problem every time I try to eat popcorn I start I start watering really bad I love popcorn but it doesn’t like me but I do really like it I love the smell of it but I just can’t hear me more

where do you buy the butter by the bottle , thank you.

theres 2 sort of flavacol seasoning for butter tasting whats the difference between the gold medal flavacol and the red box one

Ugh, I wish these ingredients were available in the UK. I see so many RU-vid videos with the same ingredients and amounts over and over, yet the only one I can get on amazon is the Flavacol. The pure coconut oil is all like face cream stuff, not food grade, and just white not yellow. Can anyone recommend alternatives?

While I agree on the products you are using, especially the flavacol, coconut oil and kernels, the popcorn maker DOES matter. I was given a cheaper Nostalgia popcorn maker similar to yours as a gift by my wife, and could not believe how much better it was than microwave popcorn. In the past I have tried those cheaper air poppers and other toy gimmicks and as I opened it thought it would be fun, while the responsible side thought it would be a waste of money and space, but the taste started to rival theaters. Unfortunately, it failed after a number of years only after turning from a want to a need, and since I could not get the parts to repair it, I looked for a new unit. This time in between having a working unit is when I discovered one secret to movie theaters and why you were wrong in terms of the appliance not being a big factor. At the time I used the All in One 8oz packages, with Mega-Pop being my favorite, so I tried to use the pot method on the stove with the same all in one packages only to find the taste was somehow different, with another big factor that the popcorn was nowhere as light, seemingly retaining the steam and severely impacting the texture and taste. I can’t explain why the taste was so different, maybe that the large pot’s surface wasted the salt, so it did not adhere, but it is clear the steam altered the texture and even placing in the oven after popping would not solve the issue. Regardless, this surprised me as I like you thought it was just a matter of finding the right ingredients. Anyway, I decided to get a better unit per the design issues with my Nostalgia (like yours shown at 5:06). The Nostalgia unit had a smaller kettle, with just a thin stainless cooking surface of uneven heat, but the major issue in the lid was poorly designed. Like yours, it had two separate lids with a hinge that would allow the popcorn to escape. But also like yours it would often recoil from the popping action and stay open, which not only created a loss of 25% to 50% of unpopped kernels, it would also spatter oil and the salt everywhere, rendering an inconsistent product in taste and creating a mess of the windows, top and doors on the popcorn maker. I tried weighting the lid, bending it and incorporating a stop, but it was just a hassle and never worked well. But even with these shortcomings, the popcorn was better than stove top, or any other gimmicks I mentioned that either affords no taste, and steam all but ruins the product. So, now that I learned I can no longer live without a machine, the natural progression was to get a high quality unit. I purchased a Paragon Theater Pop 6, which is an excellent unit. It has a larger kettle, with a thicker/nicer non stick cooking surface, and a single lid that is pushed strait up as the amount of popped corn forces it. So, it does not pop up by the kernel popping action, and will not stay open like the Nostalgia/yours. So now, all ingredients remain in the kettle and are applied to the popcorn, and unpopped kernels are almost nonexistent, with a guess of 3% or less waste. VERY efficient and I am sure you can attest to the severe loss of kernels in your unit. You can even start to see them as you are moving the popcorn around with the scoop. Add to that you can remove the stirring component for easy cleaning, all sides/back are glass rather than plexiglass. It has a heat lamp, but also a warming element under the deck to keep the popcorn warm. I will often close the doors and let the popcorn sit for 10-15 minutes which allows the last of the steam to escape the popped kernels and it does help. It is very consistent in taste, and is on year 8 without a hiccup. My only complaints are with such a quality unit, it came with a plastic scoop, and the doors are thin plexiglass. This is surprising given the high quality of the remaining components including unpopped kernel tray is excellent, and the unit still looks new even after being used 4-8 times a month. I even bought the base in recent years since I moved and no longer had the large counter in our utility room. The base is disappointing as the build is not great with wobbly wheels, but it does look nice and would look excellent in a theater room or den. Anyway, good video and it should be helpful to those who want to step up their game. I will not speak against getting a lower end unit like the Nastalgia because if it is the difference between getting in the game, or sitting on the sidelines, then by all means buy one. I served me for years and even with the frustrations with the lid/kettle, gave far better results than the smaller toy gimmicks, microwave and stove top. But if you can afford it, I do recommend a higher end unit as it will provide a more consistent and better product, but also much easier to clean. It looks better too, but that would make me shallow…

Hey there! Love the video!! Boss bought one of these machines for the office and I was designated popcorn maker. I bought all the products you use because the stuff he bought made yucky popcorn. So…. Here’s my problem: sometimes the popcorn starts popping and the hopper fills up with popcorn, it gets all glued together and sticks in the hopper. I have to flip to and use a spoon to dig out the now burned popcorn. I clean the machine about once a week. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Help?!

will this unit do Mushroom popcorn?

is this healthier than microwaved popcorn ?

Is the Snappy butter burst the same as the coconut oil when melted?

Use the snappy butter to pop it too and I think you’ll be happier

Does Sam's still sell this popcorn? I don't see it on the website.

They don't give you ENOUGH THING > I'am sticking with my 24 bags of Micro Wave popcorn for 5 bucks

In addition to the heat lamp bulb in the roof, you also have a heating element in the steel floor around the drawer that catches the unpopped seeds. This keeps the popcorn warm also from the bottom

Mine comes out great but within about 15 minutes it turns soggy. What am I doing wrong?

My coconut oil is completely clear. Curious why yours is orange.

I do everything you do and my popcorn still taste still What Is the fix For that problem

I'm pretty sure they don't use coconut oil because that would just be healthy

I don't like wet popcorn, but I do like butter on my popcorn. How do I get buttery popcorn without the wetness like in movie theaters?

There's nothing on the directions that says sprinkle it on afterwards, you use it while you're popping that's it.

Any measurement numbers Tablespoons ? Instead of just saying scoops .....that doesn't mean much ......also to make it at home you should be using a. >> Jiffy Pop popper

Ask your doctor if Flavacol is right for you.

Enjoyed this presentation! Please be sure your oil is ORGANIC coconut oil, because while ORGANIC is wonderful tasting and healthy, HYDROGENATED is deadly, which is what gave coconut oil a bad rap to begin with during testing years ago. They did the health testing on HYDROGENATED coconut oil. There is presently a belief/theory that organic coconut oil can help stave off dementia. Oil can help with health or destroy it.

It still looks white

I see that half the lid stays open while it pops,that cant be a good thing
