Does anyone know how to make movie theatre popcorn at home?
Q. I recently purchased an oil popper (the old fashioned kettle kind.) When I pop popcorn it doesn't taste anything like the movie theatre. Does anyone know if there's a specific oil or popcorn or topping or a combination of these? Thanks.

Home made movie theatre popcorn?
Q. How can I make homemade popcorn taste like movie theatre popcorn? I have one of those popcorn poppers-the mini versions of a popcorn stand (you know the ones that cost like $40). My movie theatre uses Orville Redenbacher kernels, but what else can I do? And where can I get it?
Asked by Ashley - Tue Oct 28 10:29:16 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Movie theatres use refined coconut oil to pop their popcorn in... they also use the powdered buttersalt flavouring that you can get at places like Bulk Barn. You can use a stainless steel pot (with a lid), some coconut oil, and some buttersalt flavour to make stove-popped popcorn that tastes like it's from the theatre. Also, if you want REALLY authentic stuff, you can sometimes go down to a place like IMAX after a show and get a whole garbage bag of popcorn for nothing. They have to make fresh popcorn for each show - so if they have leftovers, they just throw it away anyway. Tell them you're having a big party and you're willing to negotiate a discounted price. They'll usually tell you to keep your money.

movie theatre popcorn for popcorn maker?
Q. Just received a small kettle type popcorn maker and need the stuff to make the popcorn like you get in the movie theaters. I think they add a special mix to get what you get in the movie theaters but can't find the exact links...anyone have one of these 'real' movie theater popcorn makers and know where to get the supplies? Thanks! no my popcorn here is popped at the movie. I'm not in the ghetto where they ship it in bags lol. :)
Asked by supadupa - Tue Jul 10 01:23:00 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yes, I have one and order the supplies regularly. Go to: popcornpopper.com Don't order the theater packs, I did start with those, but it is cheaper to buy the oil and the seasonings separately. You need to buy the theater popping oil, just the original, and the theater spice popcorn salt. Buy the popcorn at home, it is the same. When putting the oil in the popper, just put enough to cover the bottom of the popper, maybe a teeny bit more. Even though it says to add the salt AFTER, I mix it in with the oil, then I don't need to salt it. I am a HUGE theater popcorn lover...and this is IT. If you need more info from me, e-mail me here in yahoo. I will help you.

How long does movie theatre popcorn last?
Q. Last weekend I ordered a large popcorn and loaded it with butter and salt at the movie theatre. I have almost the whole thing still saved in my car. Now initially I think back to the tubs of popcorn you get at christmas with the three different kinds. It seems you can snack on that all year. But I don't know if there are any preservatives in that which make it different from my popcorn. Then I started thinking about the butter. Could it spoil or mold? So you think my popcorn from last Saturday (its the following Friday now) is still good and safe to eat?

What kind of Movie theater popcorn butter is the best?
Q. I love movie theater popcorn because of the extra buttery topping. I would like to buy some but I don't know which kind (brand) to buy. If anyone works at a theater knows what brand they use, I would appreciate it, or if you have tried different brands, which one is the best? I don't have one of those dispensers, but would it work out the same if I just microwave it to warm it up?
Asked by laurajanson - Sat Apr 28 08:34:12 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Get the Orville Redenbaucher (however you spell it) pour over butter. It's not popcorn, its just straight up popcorn butter you pour over your popcorn, well, it's butter flavored oil. You can put as much or as little as you want, I prefer to drown my popcorn in it, but it's not really good for you.
