Making Movie Theater Popcorn At Home | But Better

Is it possible to make popcorn better than the movie theaters already do? Well.... I think so, maybe... First, we'll make the greatest homemade buttered popcorn recipe as the main portion, but just to add onto that I'll show you two other special ways. By special I mean garlic bread flavored popcorn, and a perfect salted caramel corn that's so good you'll want to sneak your own popcorn into the theater.

During the "lockdown" one of our local theaters kept their concession stand open for to-go orders, so that they could help their employees and stay open. We had a lot of fun grabbing popcorn and watching movies at home.

Worked at a movie theatre for 10 years. The “secret ingredient” is Flavacol. It’s a butter flavored salt you add during the cooking process. Otherwise it’s just popcorn and coconut oil

I swear this guy is gonna make a “Making restaurant water, but better.”

Never considered using my blender to powderize salt for popcorn. Just tried it and WOW, that is awesome! Just remember to thouroughly clean it out unless you like salty shakes, lol.

When you consider how expensive movie theater popcorn is, I think we all should be getting Joshua's popcorn in a movie theater.

Can’t believe Josh didn’t grow corn to make his own popcorn kernels from

Gotta give credit, I couldn’t have ever imagined that you’d go after movie theater popcorn.

I like to put a few crushed garlic cloves in my butter as I’m heating it. It gets strained out in the clarifying process, but that garlic flavored butter hits different!

Fun Fact: movie theater popcorn is one of the most expensive foods you can buy ounce for ounce costing consumers 1200% higher than it costs to produce. 🍿

We need a Hershey Kisses but better, and call it Papa Kisses

This is like that holiday popcorn tin with the 3 types of popcorn: Cheese, Butter, and Caramel... but y'know, Better.

A word of caution when making caramel, especially with baking soda:

Molten sugar hurts. It sticks to you and burns, and you can't just wash it off, it cools onto your skin. Be VERY careful when making caramel.

A point worth stressing: Before you caramel your corn, make sure there are no un-popped kernels mixed in. Once you cover it, you won't notice them until you bite down on one.

Me passing by ghee at the grocery store:

“PAPAS CLARIFIED BUTTER”

[XanDubs]

Canonically this also fits into the ‘But Cheaper’ series by an incredible margin.

I just made the popcorn and your recipe with clarified butter is everything.

I found a tip on the internet last year (can't remember where) for popping popcorn which made my popcorn so much better. When you go to heat your oil or butter, put 3 kernels in with it. When they pop, the oil is the right temperature to add the rest of the kernels. They start popping pretty quickly when they go in at the right temperature, and most of the kernels pop without burning any.

The movies have been real quiet since this dropped

Popcorn recipe: "First, start with a loaf of Brioche."

LMAO!

I’ve never heard anyone call movie theater popcorn “okay”. I love it. Everyone I’ve ever asked loved it.
